Bathroom Reveal

We now have one more room we can check off the list of finished spaces in our home!  Our new bathroom is specifically designed for the men in my family, so I decorated it with a barber shop theme.  I didn’t purchase any of the decor for the room.  I used things I already had and created a few projects as well.

(BEFORE – taken before we moved in)

My husband converted the one open room into 2 separate rooms last fall, and we completed the remodel of the laundry room a few months ago.  The laundry room is the larger of the 2 spaces, so this restroom is fairly small, but the guys don’t spend much time in there anyway.  He tore out all of the old flooring, stained ceiling tiles and wallboard.  He installed the same corrugated metal on the ceiling as we used in the laundry room, did all the plumbing where the sink, toilet and shower would be moved, put new wallboard on the walls, and installed recessed lights.

He also installed a new shower basin, shower head and faucet, and used white subway tiles on the walls.  He built a partial wall for the shower so the toilet could go on the other side.

I found this old sink at an antique store last fall and it fit perfectly on the antique desk we used for the vanity.

Some salvaged antique baseboard was used as the back splash for the vanity.
An old round mirror and a price list I made that was inspired by an antique barber price list I saw in Country Living magazine were free decor for the room.  I also already had the corner shelf, and just painted it black and distressed it.  The mirror above the sink came off an antique dresser.
The barber sign and shelf displaying old barber scissors were made from salvaged wood.

You might recall this antique receipt file I brought home last month.
Repurposed antique receipts register turned into a towel storage rack - KnickofTime.net
I sold all the clipboards that were inside it, and used the outer case as a towel shelf.  I gave it a few coats of satin sealer so keep it from getting rust on the towels.

Here’s the before and after side by side.  I’m so proud of my husband.  He does an amazing job of converting outdated and ugly rooms into rooms I love to be in…even bathrooms.  He buys as many clearance-priced items as possible to make these projects more affordable as well.

Cost breakdown:
2 sheets of corrugated sheet metal – $22 for both
Toilet – $98
Shower Basin – $150
Subway Tile and backer board – $150
Antique Sink – $50
Shower Head & Faucet – $60
Sink Faucet – $30
Wallboard – $20
Recessed Lights – $50
