Simple Small Beachy Bathroom Renovation

The bathroom in our basement is really quite small especially with 3 bedrooms and a family room down there. I seriously do not know what the builder was thinking when they created such a small bathroom! I decided a simple small beachy bathroom renovation was needed. Luckily I still like the bathroom faucets and don’t need to spray them like I did in this bathroom.

Paint The Walls

First thing we did was to paint the walls white, I wish I had the original photo of what this bathroom looked like. The walls were yellow and normally I like yellow but they just looked dingy. Just doing that made a HUGE difference!

New Shower Curtain For Small Beachy Bathroom

I found this darling flamingo shower curtain with white and sand colored stripes and hung that up. I like the peachy pink color so I bought some towels to match.

Adding Shelves

There was literally one a small amount of storage in this small bathroom. One small cabinet under the sink. We have tons of guests that stay with us plus we have had many family members live with us on and off so storage was desperately needed. I decided to add two open shelves to the wall above the toilet. Again HUGE difference!

Little Beachy Details

The peachy pink color lends itself to the beachy look as does the flamingoes. To bring in some texture and more storage I added a small wicker basket to hold wash cloths. Above the toilet I added a wire basket to hold the toilet paper.

Light Fixture

Rather than buy a new light fixture, we decided to leave the one we had but add new light covers. I found these wire light fixture covers at Lowe’s and I just love the look! It made the light feel brand new!

Paint the cabinet

One last thing to make the Simple Small Beachy Bathroom renovation complete is to paint the cabinet and probably get rid of the ugly trash can. Ignore that! I think that will really make this bathroom feel even more beachy. Remember how my master bathroom looked before we chalk painted the cabinets in there?

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
