Inexpensive Update to an 80's Bathroom
by
Sinkadoodles Decals
(IC: professional)
We painted the laminate cabinets and countertop, updated the hardware and then we built the corner shelf thing. The final touch was to make frames that we glued onto the huge mirrors. The (furniture-grade) wood, paint and hardware cost about $250 in all.
Enjoyed the project?

Sinkadoodles Decals on Oct 31, 2013This lady used the decals to cover some ugly tiles but I like the look it created with the bold contrasted line. Maybe you could make your yellow tile more like an accent color by doing a dark frame around your mirrors and adding dark decals to detract from the yellow.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Vastly better. I have two mid-eighties bathrooms, both with wallpaper which has been torn up by tenants. Can I paint wallpaper, and add wainscoting below? How about 80s oak cabinets. Can they be painted? I am thinking Sherwin Williams "Naval" for the bases. I want to add "marble" porcelain tile to both floors.
