Quickie Powder Room Remodel for Under $25!!!

How would you like to go from this


To this???


For under $25!!!

You know those times where you feel like you just need a little change in a certain room in your house but don't have a lot of money to play around with? As I was cleaning my Powder Room I noticed the edges of the mirror looked so aged and it made the bathroom look bad. I thought maybe if we bought trim and edged out the mirror it would look SO cute! But then I had another thought... This is our "Sanibel Island, FL" themed bathroom so everything is all about the beach and seashells. We found an unopened can of tan textured spray paint in our storage in the basement and knew that this would be so cute for the border of the mirror. Since brass colored fixtures aren't really in anymore we also decided to do the same thing to the light fixture.

Here are all the supplies we needed for our CHEAP UPDATE ;)


Seriously that is all you need! It was such an easy, fun project!

So, here's the steps I used:

1.) Figure out how wide you want your border around the mirror to be and use your Painters Tape for your template.


2.) Then fill in the blue area with your masking paper. Make sure you cover around the outside edges of the mirror and over the sink so you don't make a huge mess.



3.) Spray away! (FYI being pregnant, I did not do any spray painting, my Mom did that job haha!)


4.) Once you are happy with the way the edges look you can remove the tape and paper.


5.) Repeat the same steps for the light fixture. See the cute seashells we used to cover the brass-colored bolts! (We also flipped the fixture so that the lights face the ceiling instead of right on top of you, it looks so much better this way!)


6.) Enjoy your updated powder room without the guilt of spending too much money!!! Love it!


Talk again soon!!!
