Budget Friendly Farmhouse Inspired Half Bath Remodel

During quarantine, my husband and I decided to tackle our half bath. It had served it’s purpose but was in need of some major updating. Please understand that we are NOT do it your selfers. I like to decorate and paint but in terms of replacing flooring, this was a new concept for us. We usually prefer to pay someone to do it the “right” way, but we felt we could handle the flooring replacement and save us some money. And while there were a few swear words (actually maybe more than a few LOL), my hubby got the flooring done and it looks amazing! I’ve linked some items within the blog post but for easy access they can ALL also be found at the end of the post in one place! Here’s the before pic.

One of the first things I did was painted. And yes I tackled it on my own. It’s a small room and I like to paint as long as I don’t have to be on a ladder! I went with the color “Agreeable Gray” by Sherwin Williams but we used Benjamin Moore Paint as a friend who is a painter really recommended the quality of paint. We ended up keeping the same vanity since it is nice quality with a granite top. Our mirror I’ve owned forever but I linked up some similar options at the end of the post! We got a new light fixture as our old one was so dated. I’ve really been enjoying the Farmhouse vibe so I picked one that looks like mason jars with an edison bulb inside. Getting the right bulb took me quite a few tries as I wanted it to look vintage but still give off enough light. I preferred the clear in soft white. We also got new blinds that look like wood.

The before and after still blows my mind. I quite enjoy using the potty now. ha! Sorry! If you know me, you know I appreciate potty and poop jokes! Anyways, let’s talk about the flooring for a minute. It’s a laminate plank flooring. My girlfriend used it in her house and it came out so beautiful. My exact color is Crestwood Gray but they discontinued it to a new name Dowden Gray. It uses the same pictures in the new version as mine. Very easy to install but of course all the angles near the doorway had my hubby losing his mind. But in terms of install…super easy and perfect Farmhouse vibe! We debated on spray painting our old vent but our old one had some rust and we found this perfect one and it was only like $15.

Now let’s get to the fun stuff! The home decor! Like I said before Farmhouse has been my jam recently and these shelves were such a great quality find and come in a set of 2. I like that they are floating shelves so the hardware doesn’t show. My color is the dark walnut but they come in a few different colors.

Styling the shelves was so much fun! This little faux potted plant is so versatile. I have them in a few spots in my home as I DO NOT have a green thumb. I love little signs and I liked the black one as it gave some nice depth. I just couldn’t help myself with the “wash your hands, ya filthy animal” one. It was an Etsy find and hand made so it took some time to ship but it was affordable and beautiful quality. All items will also be linked at the end of the post to shop easily! I also wanted to find a tidy spot for extra toilet paper and tissues as well as a new trash can. The cute rustic toothbrush holder and wall window pane finished off the look!
