So to finish updating the bathroom, I chose to change out the silver and go with oil rubbed bronze. With a very small budget to work with I decided to spray paint anything I could to save some bucks!! I did some research on were else but pinterest lol !! I found what I was looking for- how to spray paint metal without it scratching off. Its on my my pinterest page under new house ideas( I don't know how to link directly to that pin!!). The secret is spraying a clear coat over the color after it is dry!! Seriously I would have NEVER thought of that on my own- thank you Pinterest!! So all my hours are not wasted- they were hard work that paid off! lol-that's what I 'll keep telling myself!!
Here's the before -
Lights and outlet plates
The light fixture I painted, was actually donated from my friends husband. It was silver just like the one that was in the bathroom, but it had the light covers with it. I also sprayed the silver towel rack that I had with the same oil rubbed bronze paint. My sweet little brother donated a brand new TP holder and a hand towel rack that he had extra. We bought the new faucet at walmart-who'd have guessed !!
So far my cost is :
Cabinet redo- $0
New TP & hand towel rack (donated)-$0
New and Newly painted light fixture (donated)-$12 paint and clear coat
New and Newly painted towel rack(craigslist)-$5
Outlet plates - $0
New Faucet -$65
New knobs on white cabinet-$4
New shower hooks -$6
New hanging basket for towels $20
New Rug - $8
Total spent: $120
(doesn't include a new toilet and stuff to remove and redo grout on tub-that's another day of fun!!)
Here's the Reveal :
That's all for now!!
Still to do:
Frame mirror-I'll definitely post how that goes!!
