It’s finally time to reveal the nursery bathroom makeover! We decided to attack this bathroom after working so hard to turn our barely used catch-all bedroom into a nursery for our little gal. The bathroom was in pretty rough shape so we figured since we’d be getting a lot of use out of the nursery, we may as well tackle the ensuite bathroom. Since it wasn’t really in our plan, we wanted to redo the bathroom on a budget and gave ourselves $3k. Even though in the end we went over budget, we collected a few money-saving tips along the way.

Nursery Bathroom Before and After

I knew early on that I wanted to use penny tile in the bathroom. Penny tile feels so classic and farmhouse to me and I thought it would be cute in a kids room. We replaced some of the white tiles with light and dark gray tiles to create a pattern for some added detail and interest.

Removing the soffit box above the vanity was one decision that put us over budget but it was worth it.… Read more

If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you know we’ve been working hard the last month on the nursery bathroom makeover.

Here’s what we started with:

We have a faux wood beam on order that will be installed in the corner to cover the vent pipe and electrical cord that is currently visible. If you’re wondering what’s going on with the mirror, we had to remove it and move it up several inches because the new vanity and countertop backsplash is higher than the original.… Read more

All the progress on the nursery had me itching to freshen up the nursery en suite bathroom. The nursery was serving as a catch-all room prior to its makeover so the attached bathroom didn’t really get a lot of use. Therefore, we had no reason to give it any attention…until now. Aside from removing the carpet from the bathroom when we moved in (yes, carpet!) we hadn’t done anything else in the space. Since we have a lot of expenses associated with the nursery and impending arrival of babe, this last-minute project would have to be a budget-friendly bathroom makeover. We decided we would try to keep this project under $3000.
