Bathroom Refresh under $200

With a motivation in mind, family from abroad visiting and selling this house, two months later, I finally finished three bathrooms, upstairs hallway, stairs hall redos. It was a crazy journey but I did it! Just a tip, if you have three kids 4 and under, homeschooling and working from home... don't do it. Unless you really have no choice. However, it's doable 




It is a beautiful bathroom, but it needs refreshing. There were popcorn ceilings to be scraped and the right lightness paint color for more of updated look. 





I find it unnecessary for a giant mirror. I found an antique wood mirror and painted it. I added a narrow shelf for more storage and a space saver. 
This bathroom doesn't have an impressive source of light. It is best to paint the solid wood vanity white.







We are on a tight budget. There were a few things in my original plan that wasn't executed. It was frustrating but it challenged me to be creative and be more resourceful, using what I already have in hand, including using wood palettes I hauled for free and made a cute decorative storage.




Tiles are still pretty intact and beautiful. I spray painted old hardware to save a few bucks.
This bathroom is in great shape. It needed some fresh caulking and a good floor scrub.


This is my under $200 budget bathroom redo and yes, that included the decorations.
