We've put in a little bit more money into the bathrooms. They were professionally painted and we had new floors put in. Along with the kitchen, the bathrooms still need a lot of work, but Phase 1 is done. I have to say that I think a little money on new floors- just over $1,000- make a HUGE difference.
Before. Dark with Mullet flooring:
Updated in progress, tiles from The Tile Shop, hooks from Schoohouse Electric, floor mat and hand towels from Bed, Bath and Beyond, organic towels from West Elm:
Hand towel hooks yet to be installed:
Assorted new knobs from Anthropologie, less than $30 update:
And currently Sugar Bear's favorite room to crawl to, the hall bath.
Before: dirty and dark.
The bane of my existence- the shower doors make it so hard to bathe Sugar Bear:
Mid-point update, I liked all the paint colors that I picked, EXCEPT the color in the hall bath. The blue was just too juvenile:
Hall bath with new paint, new tiles and hooks from Anthropologie, well worth the $14 each. Did you notice? I did repaint with the same colors as the master sink and shower. Also, we took down the frosted shower doors. They were just impossible. Life with a shower curtain is so much better!! Free fix- we had everything from the last house for the shower curtain and we used left over paint. It just required a bit of elbow greese to paint and to get rid of the moldy silicon.
I have to be honest. I am loving how far this bathroom has come in the last three months!
So both those updates are less than $1,500 total.

Beautiful makeover and gorgeous little bear!
That is so funny that you think life with a shower curtain is better, because I think life with shower doors is better. I just bought a house with frosted shower doors in the bathroom and I love it. The house I grew up in always had shower curtains and I hated when it would stick to you. Who has time to fight with the shower curtain in the morning. Your bathroom is turning out really nice!
Ha. @mackenzie, it's all about perspective. Bathing a little baby with a sliding door track digging into your armpits was such a a PITA. Now she's crawling around in the tub- and if we had the doors- she'd be out of reach, which is a little scary to think about.
Enjoy your frosted doors!! We have an extra set if you nee them!!
