My parent’s bathroom makeover before and after

One of the best parts of blogging is when I get to help out others in some way. Recently I was contacted by Virtu USA to make over a bathroom, and since I’m happy with both of ours, I decided to use the opportunity to give my mom & dad a bathroom makeover instead. My dad has been battling cancer for a couple of years now, so it was really nice to be able to give their bathroom a much needed update.

bathroom makeoverBefore we started, her builder grade bathroom from the early 1990’s didn’t have enough storage, the flooring was wrinkled, and it just needed an update.

bathroom makeoverWe started by putting in a drop tile ceiling to cover up some wonky popcorn ceiling action and took out the wrinkled linoleum and put down click together laminate flooring. The walls got a fresh coat of Sherwin Williams Pure White, and I even whipped up a quick set of curtains from some scrap fabric.

easy bathroom makeoverI’ve gotta admit it was really fun to shop and style the space for my parents, adding in accessories from Home Goods (that I kinda wish I had for myself!)

    What a gorgeous vanity – and how special that you were able to do this for your parents – must have felt better than even doing it for your own home, right?
    Beautiful job!

    This is a great makeover! I need to rethink my bathrooms, too. They need to be overhauled and updated. We have been here 12 years and I haven’t redecorated the bathrooms, at all. I have changed many of the other rooms, but not the bathrooms. Thank you, for the inspiration, Gina. ~Cynthia

    love it. I’m drooling over that vanity. it’s funny how parents and grandparents live w/outdated rooms, but LOVE it when it’s redone. I wonder why they don’t think to update it for themselves? they deserve it after working for years and they would enjoy the updates in their retirement. I understand finances are an issue for most folks so dont misunderstand. Great makeover – I’m so glad you could do this for your folks.

    Lovely makeover. I have never heard of Virtu before – but I will definitely be checking them because I am changing out some sink fixtures and I absolutely love the faucet set you used.
