    One Room Challenge Week 5 – Bathroom

    by 27 Comments

    Here we are at week 5 of the One Room Challenge.  Only one more week left!!!  AAHH!  I can’t believe I’m about to say this but all that is left is tiling!  I never thought we would get so close to having this room done!  We aren’t doing the tiling ourselves though so I guess officially we are off duty!  Today I’m sharing all about paying attention to detail.  It’s the smaller items sometimes in a room that make a large impact!

    If you missed the previous weeks, catch up here:

    To start I want to reshare my hardware on my cabinets!  I’m super obsessed with it and love how it looks in our room!  I got the pulls from Hickory Hardware and I went with the 3 in Crystal Palace Crysacrylic in Bright Nickel.  I actually won these pulls because I was one of the top two voted winners for the Hickory Hardware IKEA Challenge where I gave an IKEA Rast a makeover.  I turned it into a Stemware Storage/Bar Cart.  The knobs I got are Crystal Knobs by Threshold at Target.

    Let’s move to our new faucet.  We had the traditional ugly 90s builder grade faucet and I hated it.  It sprayed water everywhere and….was…well…ugly!  I replaced it with this affordable faucet that I purchased off of Amazon.  It’s a great Waterfall Faucet for the price!

    Update

    *We did not end up liking this faucet.  We have hard water so we had a lot of calcium build up.  I cleaned it but it still kept coming.  After a while, it kind of deteriorated.  I would recommend spending a little bit more to get a better quality faucet.  We ended up replacing it with this Delta Faucet.*

    I replaced the toilet paper holder and towel rod in the bathroom.  They were outdated among other things in our bathroom that needed an update.  I went with unhinge for these products.  I really liked their SoHo line by ez-set and I so I got their Toilet Paper Holder, Towel Bar and Towel Ring all in Chrome.

    Lastly, I want to share with you my new shelves behind our toilet.  We removed the giant cabinet and repaired the wall and replaced it with these floating shelves.

    I’m so excited to share the finished room next week and fingers crossed our tile guy gets the tiling done in time!  Here is where we are at with our to-do list:

    • Paint bathroom cabinets & trim
    • Paint vanity countertops
    • Rip out previous linoleum (2 layers..fun!)
    • Tile floor & wall
    • Remove medicine cabinet & cabinet above toilet
    • Replace mirror
    • Replace light fixture
    • Change outlets & switches
    • Repair holes in the wall from cabinet removal & towel bars
    • Paint walls
    • Replace toilet paper holder and towel rod
    • Replace faucet

    I want to thank all of my amazing sponsors!

        Haha I can’t believe I am doing two rooms either sometimes but it does feel good to have them complete before our baby arrives! 🙂

      Ruthie, I love a waterfall faucet! Just really adds something special to a bathroom. And don’t blame you on your cabinet hardware crush! They are beauties.

      Looking forward to seeing how everything comes together!

      Hugs, Lynn
