so fresh and so clean

July 7, 2011 by Lindsey 1 Comment

We were completely satisfied with how the bathroom turned out. The blue paint color, which was Oops Paint from Home Depot, worked out really well.

I love how it gives the room a cool, relaxing feel to it. Especially paired with the white trim and accents. Much better than those nasty, green vertical stripes.

Here’s the final cost breakdown:

1 quart of Oops Paint: $1 (Home Depot)

Light fixture above sink: $9 on sale (Home Depot)

Medicine cabinet: $9.99 (Home Depot)

Shower curtain: $9.99 (Home Goods)

Shower head: $9.99 (Home Goods)

Towel and toilet paper fixtures: $7.99 (Target)

Baskets on shelf: Owned

Cork bath mat: Owned

Bin on top of toilet: Owned

Art work: Owned

Total: $47.96 + some tax

Not bad for a complete bathroom update! We chose not to buy the best of the best since we rent and most of the things we can’t take with us when we move. The light fixture and medicine cabinet are nothing special, both are very basic. But they are mold free which makes me happy.

I have to admit, I had such a need for a clean bathroom to feel comfortable that I didn’t shop around too much for better deals of Craigslist steals. Sometimes I wish I did, but at the time I was just happy to have a clean bathroom. And we had originally budgeted $100 for the entire project so coming in at half that felt good.

Here’s one last before and after comparison:

We love knowing that it’s mold free, clean, fresh and comfortable!
