A BEFORE & AFTER of my hall bathroom.
This suddenly became very beige and boring to me, so I decided it needed some drama!
My home has always been my place to try things before I recommend them to clients.
I don’t know that I would ever recommend this idea to anyone else, but it turned out great and I love it!
The walls are not wallpapered, they are covered with 3 shower curtains. I had ordered the shower curtains to give this bathroom some pattern and more color. I decided I didn’t like them as shower curtains, but I loved the pattern & colors. Then I had a light bulb moment! I got out the tape measure and realized if I put up a chair rail, I could upholster the walls with the shower curtains. And so I did! I finished the edges with grosgrain ribbon to cover the staples. My husband changed light and plumbing fixtures, and I painted the walls, trim & cabinet. I added a frame to the existing mirror. It was a very small budget refresh, that makes a very big statement.
More details of this refresh to come…
