Bathroom Makeover Alongside Green Walls

When Kim sent some fairly dramatic before and afters our way, we could not wait to share her bedroom to bathroom conversion. Here is her letter:

Okay, Youngsters… I am biting on your quest for before and afters. I am not sure if it is quite drool-worthy sufficient, but I hoped to share my go-to room makeover in our house – our upstairs bathroom. We picked up a foreclosed home a year and a half ago. It was built in the 30’s so it had plenty of lovely touches, but the prior owners had run it into the ground. It took about 8 months to make it livable, and we simply “wrapped up” it in August (although we are learning that it is never truly wrapped up). Our upstairs bathroom was a compact bedroom when we began (about 6 x 11). But, it makes a fabulously large bathroom.

My husband and our dads ran the plumbing and electrical and today it is a lovely retreat and truly my go-to transformation in the house. I took a cue from your journal for the open bathroom storage with baskets and fell in love with a shower curtain from Ballard Designs. It kinda all began from there. Hope you like it! Keep the design inspiration coming!- Kim

Crazy good transformation, no? We enjoy that open storage with those adorable baskets and we are head over heels about the idea of taking a small unusable bedroom (anything 6 feet wide is a bit crazy) and creating a spacious and serene bathroom full of crisp and clean touches for a totally current feel. Thanks so much for sending those pics our way Kim!
