The main issue with this small bathroom: the client hated their bland colour scheme. Throw in a floor with pink undertones and a way-too-orange vanity, and the result is less than pretty. As the home's only bathroom it's always used by visitors, which made the homeowner cringe...she wanted a prettier room that wouldn't have her afraid to offer drinks to houseguests!The solution? We started with a gorgeous shower curtain (Martha Stewart), then drew our other colours from that. Walls were painted a much more interesting red (Benjamin Moore's hot apple spice) and the vanity was painted out in davenport tan (now it's no longer the first thing your eye goes to when you walk into the room). The plain mirror was updated with wood trim - also painted davenport tan.
The result is a room the homeowner loves - done quickly and easily on a budget!

Great before and after! All you can do with a dated bathroom is take the attention away from the old with drama like you've created here! Love it!!
Much more warm and inviting. Good low cost make-over!
Wow! We just bought our first home and the "before" bathroom looks a lot like the one in our new house. Awesome Idea, I would never have thought to paint the vanity! :)
