$70 Bathroom Makeover

$70
Easy
My family of five shares one small bathroom, so when I decided to redo our boring bathroom I knew it had to be functional as well as beautiful. All of that had to be done in a tiny room with a tiny budget. By using what I had on hand and buying only a few things new, I saved a lot of money and only spent $70!
Save money by updating existing fixtures with spray paint! I spray painted the light fixture, cabinet knob and soap pump with less than one can of spray paint.
Create faux-floating shelves by using corner brackets as shelf brackets. I saved money by using reclaimed wood found at an estate sale.
Add color to a neutral room by framing vibrant paintings. This watercolor printable was free!
A colorful array of towels and a busy shower curtain made this bathroom feel too cramped. By painting the walls a neutral gray and adding plenty of white accents, the room feels bigger and surprisingly, brighter.

    Love what you have done, I plan to do the shelving. Most ideas seen are for large home, not all of us have them. Your bathroom looks very updated and user friendly.
