Hello all, here's a blog post all about my half bathroom makeover. This half bathroom is located in the family room, it is to the right when you go down the stairs to the family room. It's also to the left of my "silver metallic dresser". This post won't be long, but do enjoy some of these pictures of my half bathroom.

Below... the LEFT picture is what it use to look like when we moved in. It was all white with a huge ugly oak cabinet over the sink. Wished I had taken a picture of the cabinet but oh well. There was no mirror on the cabinet either, it was huge and very displeasing to the eyes. The RIGHT picture was what I thought I wanted. I wished I had waited until we finished the family room to do this half bathroom so that we didn't have to invest time in painting it green! I was too anxious to get it done I guess. Loved the green, but after my finished family room, I wanted to change it just to make this whole level all flow together. 

And, here's the makeover process. The husband painted it grey (it's the same paint color as our family room) and he installed the white baseboards. Took about 2 days to complete the paint job and the baseboards. He got the white baseboards from Home Depot and the paint was leftover from when we painted the family room walls. 

The wood trims and the wooded door needed to be sanded, primed and painted. It took my husband another 2 days to complete all that. Here's a before picture depicting the wood trims in the mirror.

And, the grand finale look...

here's the half bath entrance and here's what it looks like now! Don't mind the missing door knob in these pictures, it was broken, so the husband had go out to buy a new one, I took these pictures before he installed the new one. There is a door knob though. :)

I got the "Love the life you live" canvas from TJ Maxx for only $17.00, and the black oval shape mirror from HomeGoods for $40.00.

I got this 3 tier flower vase decor from TJ Maxx for only $10.00, and the decorative black and white stripes with gold polka dot box from HomeGoods for $10.00. I'm using the decorative box as a storage solution for cleaning supplies stuff... as you well see in the next picture.

Since there is no storage in this half bath and storage space is limited, I'm using this decorative box to hold my clean hand towels and some toilet and cleaning supplies. Those are 4-5 pair of latex gloves in a ziploc bag by the way. I still have to buy some more hand towels to stock up this box with.

I bought this awesome smelly scented candle from HomeGoods for only $3.00! It's a tiny scented candle but when it's lit, it makes my tiny half bath smell so good! I love it. Just wished I bought some more of it, because when I went back to buy some more, there was none left in this kind. I bought the toilet roller and holder from HomeGoods for only $10.00. I wanted a 2-in-1 toilet paper holder, again, storage is an issue. I didn't want to have to run upstairs to grab a toilet roll from the full bathroom linen closet to every time; so I needed something functional to hold a few more toilet paper rolls and this thing worked out great for it!

Here's a closer view of the sink. I bought the pretty silver metallic soap dispenser from Target for $13.00.

To the right of the door when you walk in, is this tiny little black basket. I got it for $6.00 at TJ Maxx. It's suppose to be there for the dirty hand towels and a few other cleaning supplies that can't fit the decorative box storage that's sitting on top of the toilet, but my husband is using it to hold some of his "tools". I swear, his tools is in every single room of this house. He has a wood work station in the basement that he can put all of his tools on, especially in one area that he can have easy access and remember where all of his tools are.. but nope, he decides to put most of his tools everywhere around the house, wherever he feels like is a good place for it. As you all can tell, I'm not happy with it, because it displaced the whole system of this house. I'm quite the OCD person when things are NOT in its right place.

And, so here you have it, my half bath makeover. Doesn't this level all flow nicely together now? I think so and I'm loving it! Thank you all for reading. I'll be posting more house projects/makeover in the future, so always stay tune!
