Hey guys! I’m so excited to finally reveal my powder bath makeover with you! I’ve been talking about redoing this space since I first started this page. I finally decided a few weeks ago it was time to turn this dark, depressing powder bathroom into a light bright space with the help of Walmart.

The original design of the bathroom was a bit of a mistake from the beginning. I knew I wanted this bold tile in here, but I had actually picked out the gray version of it. I picked out this original dark gray wall color to coordinate with the gray tile. Well on the day the tile was installed and we visited the house, we realized they had installed the black and white version of the tile instead. In the end, we actually loved this tile better than the gray version…so it was a happy accident. The problem was that the wall color didn’t really look great with the new tile. We opted to just live with it instead of asking our builder to repaint the space (a decision I soon came to regret). I’ve always felt that the powder bathroom felt dark and cave-like. So now after living here for 3.5 years we are finally correcting the issue and giving the space a little coastal farmhouse makeover.

I thought about different paint color options in here, but we settled on just keeping it cohesive with the rest of the house and painting it 50% Repose Gray. After removing the toilet and all the fixtures, we taped the molding and doorways and covered the vanity with plastic. We then primed the walls first and had to do two coats because the paint was so dark to being with. The whole project took nearly a week! We finally got it put all back together and I’m so happy with the final result!

So what did we change in here?

Aside from obviously the paint color, we changed out the mirror from a dark silver one to this cute {distressed wood mirror}. I love the beachy, casual vibe of this piece. At first I wasn’t sure how the little specks of blue in the wood would work, but after I got it up I realized it was perfect for the coastal farmhouse look I was going for. I got the mirror from Walmart.com.   It is super affordable and perfect for small spaces like bathrooms!

I also changed out the light fixture from a two light vanity light to a three light vanity fixture. I felt like the space was too dark, not only from the dark paint, so adding more lights was a must. This similar {3 light industrial style vanity light} from Walmart has the perfect farmhouse vibe.

Another way I tried to lighten up the space and give it more character was to add this {removable shiplap wallpaper} from Walmart.  Ideally, I would add real shiplap paneling to this space, but this $60 addition is a great way to test out a design element to see if you like it! Hopefully my husband can get some tools and learn to install the shiplap himself in the near future! I’ve got lots of spaces which I’d love to add wall paneling, but for now, this removable wallpaper does the trick!

The {Marmont Hill “Beach Life” framed print} was a way for me to bring more beachy vibes to this bathroom. It’s available from Walmart and comes in several different sizes up to 40″x60″.  It’s such a gorgeous print with such soft pastel colors! Check out Walmart.com’s other {beachy and coastal inspired prints}. They have such a great selection!

I also needed to add some storage above the toilet, so I found this fabulous {rustic style shelf unit}. I love the industrial/farmhouse feel of the piece. It’s also available on Walmart.com and comes in different sizes and colors. We got the brushed brass color…it appears a little more silver in person.

We are so happy with how this powder bathroom makeover turned out. Gone, are the dark moody colors and the cave-like feel to the bathroom. It’s so much brighter and cheerful in this space now.  Head over to Walmart.com to check out all their {lakehouse/coastal inspired home decor and furniture} and give your space a coastal farmhouse makeover.
