Master Bathroom Make-Over

It's apparently home improvement week here at SWS, although it wasn't planned that way.  I'm sharing another inexpensive home project today:  our master bathroom.  Although, this project still isn't completely finished, but anyway....

When we bought our house, this closet-sized bathroom had (what I can assume were) all original fixtures, straight out of 1983.

Enjoy the following breathtaking photos of the bathroom as it was when we moved in:

I wanted nothing more than to immediately rip everything out and replace it with brand new fixtures.  Unfortunately, this particular project took a backseat to all of the other items on the house to-do list, due to time and budget restraints.

Soon I was on Pinterest looking for simple, inexpensive ideas to make the bathroom situation better for the time being until a full overhaul was possible.  This project has literally been a process.  I've done little things over time to make it feel less like 1983 (although that was a fabulous year) and more like now.  Though this room still isn't completely finished, I'm ready to share my progress so far:

{Please ignore the toddler-proof contraption on the toilet lid.}

{Shower curtain:  Target (no longer available)}

{White shelving: Target; candy dish: thrifted; hair accessory organizer: TJ Maxx; glass jar: Hobby Lobby; birdbath jewelry holder: TJ Maxx}

{Glass jars: Hobby Lobby; white metal basket: Target; hair styling tool organizer: Bed, Bath, & Beyond}

{Candy dishes: info here}

We replaced the light above the vanity, painted the gold mirror on the medicine cabinet, painted the walls, and repainted the cabinet also adding new hardware to it.  I also added white shelves above the toilet.

I loved the green and white shower curtain and basically designed the rest of the room around it.  Since this bathroom is pretty small, organization was key.  Everything is stored in an easy-to-see manner using clear jars and/or old candy dishes.  (I mentioned a while back about finding candy dishes at a rummage sale and using them to store my make-up.  You can read about it here.)

The floor is still the same so I didn't show it.  It's bad anyway.  That's next on the list.

The budget for this bathroom was very small.  Tiny actually.  I'd still eventually like to demo the whole room and re-do it, but for now I like it.  A lot.  Well, minus the ugly floor.

I claimed this bathroom for myself when we moved in because a) it had a counter top where as the hallway bath has a pedestal sink which is no good for putting on make-up or doing your hair and b) because of the window and natural light.  It's really the only room in the house that's all mine, which is ironic since every time I go in there I have a toddler and two dogs follow me.  Oh well.
