Bathroom Remodel

So, Rusty and I created I huge "TO DO" list to try to accomplish before he leaves for a few months. On the top of Rusty's list was to redo our master bathroom. I was perfectly fine with our bathroom, but Rusty has disliked it for some time. And I will back him up on the fact that it really didn't flow with the rest of our home. Our home is predominately neutral colors with warm decorative accents. Our master bath was a color called "Pewter Tray" and had white cabinets. Rusty had a vision for a bathroom that would have much more of a coffee house feel to it as opposed to a prison bathroom (his words, not mine!). So, of course I didn't think of taking before and after pics until we were a little ways into it, but you will get the idea none the less.

Rusty wanted to sand down the cabinets and repaint them a nice espresso color and to paint the walls a warm chestnut color. We also wanted to update our bathroom fixtures which were a brushed nickel to an antiqued bronze. We could've just bought new ones, but of course that's not very DIY. So we sanded those down and repainted with a textured spray paint, saving us a pretty penny there. When it came to the light fixtures, we were going to do the same with those as well, but the lovely folks who built our home kind of threw it up there fast I guess, so Rusty had some challenges with the fixtures resulting is some broken bulbs and we decided to just buy two new light fixtures instead. The difference was about $40 more, but it was worth it for the time it saved him! So, check out some of the shots below and let us know what you think!
