Have you e-met Lindsay from Life of Splendor?
She and her husband, Chris, bought a fixer upper a couple of years ago and I’m so excited to share their recent bathroom redo photos here today.
Here’s what the room looked like when they moved in…
…and here’s what it looks like now!
Before…
After!
Before…
After!
Didn’t they do a great job? And how fun is that antique dry sink they turned into a vanity for their vessel sink?
The whole redo cost around $1800 and you can find more of Chris and Lindsay’s happy home improvement ideas over at LifeOfSplendor.com.
And speaking of room renovations- I’m supposed to get a quote back from a carpenter I met with about building some closets in our guest bedroom/home studio/office today or tomorrow, so hopefully it’ll be a good one, and we can cross that project off our to-do list soon too!
Planning and executing the$e kind$ of project$ always seems to require a lot of patience, and I know a guitar-playin’ guy who will be very when this before & after is finally done.

May 15, 2012 at 10:18 amHave you checked out http://www.ana-white.com for cabinet ideas. I have built some of her plans, and they’ve turned out really well. If the carpenter is out of budget-reach, you may want to give it a try. Even if it’s a disaster, it could make a great blog post! 🙂

May 15, 2012 at 11:08 amThat is a great redo! It looks so nice and ‘clean’.
Why, oh why, did people ever put in those colors, in bathrooms?
This is a classic look that can last forever.

May 15, 2012 at 12:14 pmI’m gonna have to go check out that blog! She has some of the same idea I have for my bathroom makeover; we must have similar tastes. I had the same idea for a dry sink but couldn’t envision how practical it would be. I LOVE her’s! I also have that very faucet already here.
This is great; thanks for introducing me to another awesome blog. 🙂

May 15, 2012 at 12:29 pmHey Layla,
Beautiful job. love converting furniture pieces into bathroom cabinets. Also love the rope artwork. I am working on a house rehab for a client that has a sink and tub that same shade of dusty pink and the other bathroom is baby blue, typical 1959 decor….
Have a fab day,
Kathleen
