Today is the day -- the day of the big reveal. The green/white bathroom with touches of red. Perfect for Saint Patricks Day! I really feel like I need a drum roll....
I ended up not having a before pic of this wall. It was plain white before if you can believe it. Those frames all came from the thrift store and were repainted. The other items on the shelf were all thrift store finds and the shelf was $15 at the Restore. If you follow my blog, you will recognize most all of those thrifting goodies!
Now for the before and afters -- my bathroom is rather large as you will probably figure out...

Shower Area

AFTER
Recognize that Framed Burlap Letter? The shower curtain is yet another thrift store find.
My Vintage Cabinet
BEFORE
This cabinet was my bathroom inspiration. Scroll back a few pics -- recognize the pattern I painted on the walls?
AFTER
Yes...I have not found an appropriate replacement for that blue laundry hamper...I am stumped on what to get... The framed pictures I highlighted earlier this week.
Commode Area
BEFORE
Doesn't commode sound so much more refined? Okay maybe not....
AFTER
And poor hubby had the flu so we are going to have to stare at those brass light fixtures a little longer... You can just see the side of that shelf in the first pic -- just so y'all can orient yourselves...
Sink Area

Tub Area

Yep I kept those curtains -- I love em -- that is all that matters. The color inspiration came from a curtain swatch. I have a plan for that bare spot on that wall but the spray paint job is not quite finished...I will just keep y'all in suspense.
That wall paper border removal ALONE was enough to make the space better...but whew it was a nightmare... So what do y'all think?

It looks fantastic!! Do you have a total $$ spent tally, because you seemed to make BIG changes for small money.
I would take the "before" any time! Love the size of your bathroom. :)
but all that aside, the afters look awesome! Way to go. I love your vintage cabinet.

It all came together perfectly! The flower designs are wonderful. Did you paint those free-handed? I'm in envy of your tub! Ahhh....so relaxing....!
Angie, This looks fabulous! I love all your small touches-the pretty painting on the walls--Are they stencils or free-hand? So sweet without going overboard! Very pretty color too. Wanna do mine now?
Sherry
Angie,
You did a great job! Green is fav in the color world. Wonderful.

For the painting on the walls, I took wax paper and traced the pattern on the cabinet. I took that to work and blew it WAY up on the oversize copier we have. I tried a variety of ways to actually get it transfered to the wall. None of which was too easy. Cutting it out of the paper and then drawing around it on the wall seemed to work best. I would then just paint it in by hand with white paint. It actually did not take too long.
And cost:
Paint and supplies approx $60 (I got a high quality paint due to the mess the wall paper left).
Shelf and items on it - $30 approx
Burlap "H" - free - already had all of it
Shower Curtain $1.49
New Rugs - $11
Trash Cans - $3
Flower pictures $2
I really think that is it. A little over $100 for a BIG change! :)
ok, first of all, WOW! It looks fantastic! LOVE the designs you painted on the walls! and 2nd of all..uhm, I think your bathroom is bigger than my living room!
The white design you painted is just beautiful! It adds so much!
Sarah
What a fabulous change (for the better)
How about a canvas hamper? You have room for one with three sections. You could paint your flower design on it. Just Google canvas laundry hamper.
I love the white scrolly design! What a beautiful way to fill in some wall space. Great job!
LOVE the green color! What is it?
What a great job~I love the whole look. The whole room with the white against the green looks so amazing. what a great makeover! Loved all your pictures. You did such a good job with the scroll design on the wall. Very creative and artistic....not generic, and I love that!
Blessings,
Debbie
I LOVE the color! I also love the flower accents in white... did you paint those or are the vinyl? Great job! : )
Your bathroom is beautiful! Awesome job!
~Rebekah
Wow! Your bathroom looks great! I love the green...so pretty! Great Job!! :o)
it looks fabulous. great job! what color did you say the paint is???? i love it.
i'm having a small giveaway on my blog & i'd love for you to stop by :)
The green is beautiful. It is quite the transformation. Very pretty!
The color is Benjamin Moore Liberty Hall -- LOVE IT! :)
What I would give for a bathroom that size!!!
You did a great job. I'll bet your are loving it!
Wow! That is some bathroom even before the makeover! It's HUGE! I love everything you did - it looks beautiful!
Great job Love the green! Very similar to the green I used in my Craft Room!
Debbie
I am a nut for doing things with old picture frames. Nicely done. Keep up the good work.

Removing the wall paper made a big difference! You have a huge bathroom!I love the white against the green paint!
AWESOME! :)
It looks sooo good!
Brass, yeah that's a hiccup in the process however, here's an idea for at least your light fixtures. Spray paint in the metal family, they even have brushed nickel & oil rubbed bronze now! Based on what you plan on getting for the faucets, etc...
I love spray paint! :)
L~
Awesome! I love the color, too. Great job! I saw some really inexpensive wicker laundry baskets at Ross a while back, if that's up your alley.
so much better, I love that color of green. In my old house we took out a lot of wallpaper, I'm so glad we didn't have any in this house, I know it is a lot of work!
That is a huge transformation, and I love your green walls! Come stop by my Favorite Things Friday Party if you would like to join in!
Oh I LOVE the stencil around the windows/doors like that....fabulous!!
What a great makeover- love the stencil details! Thanks for the positive comment on my magnetic flowers, too- I also like them on the lamp. :)
I love it! The green is beautiful!
Thanks for stopping by earlier and checking out my Burlap & Buttons Canvas!
I love all of the pretty touches you found and used to makeover your bathroom, it really turned out lovely! I also really like your paint color! And if you find the perfect hamper, please let me know because I need one too!
Kat :)
Fantastic. I love the flower details on the wall. I 'm looking for idea for a bathroom redo at my house. Might need to steal the an idea or two :)
Fabulous!!!
m ^..^
Wow! Angie, it turned out great! Hey, I featured you on my Week in Review so go check it out!
Angie, that look fabulous! Your bathroom looks HUGE - like bigger than my living room. Love the color you picked!
What a huge difference. I love the color and the white scrolly work!
You should be ashamed of yourself-- really you should. You have forced me to finally get to painting the kids' bathroom that has needed doing for some time. It's all your fault- with your dramatic bathroom change, making it look fabulous and stuff, you've inspired me to actually get to this project that I've been happily putting off. LOL :)
I love this! did you free hand the leaves and flowers on the wall?
Thank you all! No not free hand. I traced the pattern on the cabinet. Then took that to work and blew it up on a large copier. Then through trial and error I found the easiest thing was to cut out the pattern and trace on the wall with pencil. Then paint in with white. :)
That is fantastic! I love that shade of green. I can tell you worked very hard on it.
How did I miss this! Your bathroom looks fabulous! You did a great job...i love that green color! It looks so good now with the rest of the cream in your space!

I love the transformation. Babies R Us has great white wicker hampers that are nice and not too pricey. We have one and it is really cute.
Wow! What an awesome transformation! I just love this shade of green, and all the accents look great!
Thanks for linking up for Friday Favorites! Hope to see you again this Friday!
What a gorgeous transformation! I love the white details on the walls and how you did them randomly. They really light your walls up!
Gorgeous colour. Looks so cozy!
Thanks for linking up to SNS!

what if you paint the hamper with plastic spray paint, in a coordinating or even same green type color? it would blend right in or even complement the decor perhaps?
wow...HUGE bathroom and beautiful re-do. I love the colors
Your bathroom looks GREAT!
God's blessings,
Sarah :D
Oh my...loving how you used the cabinet as your inspiration for the wall art. I saw one of these cabinets on Craigs list......must go see if it is still there. I would love to do this in my craft room. Thanks for the inspiration.
I love what you have done! It looks beautiful. Why about putting a burlap skirt around the basket and paint the lid white? Burlap is cheap, and the visual would be like a wicker.
I'm with Jody, why not try painting the hamper with spray paint for plastic until you find THE one you're looking for.
Looks so great!! I love that green! It's so cheerful. You might try just hitting those light fixtures with some highgloss white spray paint. It would be a cheap alternative to replacing them, and (who knows) you may find that they are just perfect and you saved yourself some dough!
I found a storage ottoman that I use as a hamper. It has the dual purpose of functioning as a little seat to dress on as well. And, since it has a lid, I don't have to look at the dirty laundry! ;)
Where did you find the pattern (stencil) that you painted. I read that you blew it up and traced it on the wall but I have been looking for a pattern like that and cant find one.
That green is so nice and really transforms the room! Nice!
Very pretty! I think a white wicker hamper would be lovely. I love the green you picked and your scroll designs are great.
Dang, Girlfriend! I didn't know you could paint so well! Darling! I love the little touches here and there - what an impact!
btw - I stumbled this ;)
wow! what a huge and comfy bathroom! Almost like a room, i would love to have a bathroom like that some day :)
