bathroom refresh

Hi all. I wanted to show you another of my refresh projects while visiting my family and friends in East Coast Canada. This bathroom is in a '60's bungalow with the original hand-made cabinets (painted many times over) and built-in shelving unit.  This had to be a low-cost makeover, so no new cabinetry or countertop. But some paint and a few key additions like wainscotting made a big difference.

Here's what we did:
-new tile floor
-added wainscotting (beadboard) panels and painted above
-painted the cabinetry and shelving white
-painted existing light fixture and towel hooks brown
-added a bamboo roman shade
-hung a new white waffle weave shower curtain

Keeping things white with natural accents really ups the wow factor. Low cost and high impact, don't you think?






Got any good tips for a budget friendly bathroom makeover?
