Cottage Style Bathroom Remodel
Check out the before and after of this cottage-style bathroom remodel and see what the vanity looks like now!
Happy Throwback Thursday!
Bathroom renovations never excite me like kitchen or basement remodels do, yet they are one of the driving factors in the overall value of a home. That being said, I tend to save money on my bathroom designs, opting to make them as functional and space-efficient as possible without putting too much extra into the aesthetic.
In this full bathroom at the top of the stairs of our cottage fixer-upper, we removed the drop ceiling to add height, added hanging light fixtures, changed the floor, and gave the vanity a cottage-style makeover.
Let’s check it out!

Before
Here is where we started. Let’s get to it.
Cottage Style Bathroom Remodel
Reno
The very first thing I did in this bathroom was remove the strange drop-down ceiling and lights to raise the ceiling height. I have no idea why this ceiling was installed in the first place.
Nice catch Gracie. For some incredibly strange reason, I do not have any photos of the reno process in this room. It is incredibly strange, but we will fast forward to after the shiplap, vanity makeover, new light fixtures, paint, wallpaper, and flooring…
Without further ado!

After
I bought THREE items for this room. Literally 3. This was budget DIY at its very best.
The shiplap was left over from the girls’ bedroom.
The wallpaper was left over from the master bathroom reno from our second fixer-upper.
The white paint for the shiplap and the walls were leftover from our exterior renovation.
The paint for the mirrors and the vanity was the BM Sea Salt paint sample for our master bedroom renovation.
The vanity knobs were removed from the old kitchen cabinets.
The flooring was from the basement renovation in our second fixer-upper, and everything else we had stored in boxes from our second house.
The 3 items I bought?
Those two chandeliers and the cute bathroom sign between the mirrors.
Light, bright, and airy is always my go-to aesthetic for bathrooms. My secret to keeping a white shower curtain – double-sided curtain hooks.
I love these double-sided hooks because you can take off the curtain to wash it without having to remove the liner as well.
I used this same chandelier in the first-floor bathroom reno at the foreclosure fixer-upper. One of the main reasons I love this light is that the light faces downward. Perfect for lighting over sinks or countertops. I am sure I will find another place for one when we build.
I thought this sign was cute. The hanging mason jar board was a gift from my sister-in-law a couple of years ago that I had hanging in our laundry closet from our kitchen renovation in the Colonial fixer upper.
