Farmhouse Bathroom Reveal

By Anita 41 Comments

white-bathroom-2

I’ve redone the farmhouse bath and today I’ve showing the big bathroom reveal.

You have probably never seen this room before. Well if you looked closely you might have seen it here. MORE BEFORE PHOTOS.

Here is one I found that was taken shortly after the house was built.

We’ve given it a nice coat of paint. It’s a very simple bathroom. I might change out the pulls later, but I haven’t had time to do that yet.

I had already changed out the shower curtain and added the antique chair. I painted the chair including the fabric. Details are in this post. PAINTING FABRIC 

I’m thinking I might like a lighter mirror frame, but again, that’s on the back burner. Rome wasn’t built in a day, right?

So what did I learn from this paint job? That I really don’t like this kind of painting job. I hired someone to do it, and it was well worth the money. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve painted many a room in my day, but I’m stretched thin, so I decided to give this one to the professionals.

The other thing I learned is that sometimes my husband is right. (Don’t make me repeat that.) He said he never wanted the stained cabinets. I picked them out years ago because I was bored with the painted cabinets in our previous home. So in the end what is wanted is what I finally agreed to years later. I don’t remember him saying he wanted the cabinets painted, but that doesn’t mean anything.

The last thing I learned is the incredible power of paint. I guess I already knew this and I am sure you did too, but still it amazes me every time what a difference paint can make in a room.

If you want to know, the paint is Sherwin Willaims Alabaster, and it is oil-based paint.

    I love the makeover! I especially love the rich dark wood floor with the white. Beautifully done! What kind of paint did you use to cabinet and did it need a base coat?

    The cabinets and tile are exactly like my two baths I have often wondered how it would look with cabinets painted white. Love it.

    As far as the mirror needing another frame. The frame totally ties in the lighting and towel holder.

    I love what has been done with this bath. Thank you for the ideas so I can use them in my two baths.

    You are right. Rome wasn’t built in a day. My very small bathroom has a large “pickled” wood vanity that is absolutely too big for the small space. I am going to be changing it out for a pedestal sink. In the meantime, I am saving up the $ for the sink and faucet I really want. While I wait, I am going to paint the cupboards white. I already have the paint in my stash, so it will be a free makeover. I think it will visually lighten the space. Your makeover was an absolute inspiration. Thank you. I love the room. Most of all, I adore that shower curtain!!!
    Best,

    Nice and fresh, Anita. What I especially like (along with everything else) is the chair. I want one in ours, but thought I wouldn’t have room. Your’s works fine . . . think I’ll try one in mine!

        I love the picture and the makeover. I bought a sample size of the Windsor Greige. Did it seem a little too grey, but that the color pick up hues of the room as you pulled other colors into the make over?

    Completely agree with you about the power of paint. LOVE the way your bath came out! Amazing what a huge difference it makes. I also agree it might be nice to lighten the mirror and change the pulls, but they’re certainly not bad the way they are… 🙂 Well done!

    Why did u go with oil based paint?

      It holds up better than latex.

        I always thought the same thing. I painted my makeup vanity and bathroom vanity in an oil based white and they yellowed after several years so badly that I had to repaint them with a high quality latex. The latex has now held up for years with no problems.

    Anita, I have the same question as Nita. Was there a reason why you used oil-based paint on your cabinets? I plan on painting my bathroom cabinet and it would help to know if I should use oit-base over latex. Thanks!

    Is your shower curtain beige/brown and white or is it blue/white? On my computer I can’t tell from the picture. I really like this bathroom.

    I love everything you’ve done and since you asked, I would leave the mirror dark to tie in with the beautiful floors. I love white painted cabinets but love even more when mixed with wood either in the flooring or countertops or in your case, wood floors and a large wood framed mirror. Good job ….

    Gorgeous bathroom. I wish I had the space for a chair in mine. I love the little coffee pot lamp on the vanity. I do have a large vanity in my bathroom, so I’m on the lookout for a lamp that has character.

    Hi Anita,
    Great makeover. I like the contrast between the white cabinets and the wood floor, and of course, the white antique chair and stripes shower curtain (was that seersucker?).

    The countertop is so great. Not the newly “required” materials. It has so much character.
    I have beautiful chopping block in my kitchen in my 200 year old plantation house. I hope it will become a new fad.

    I love the bathroom. Are the floors real wood or tile? I really want the wood look for the bathroom floors but I am nervous.

    Reply
    • Anita says

      September 28, 2016 at 09:04

      Yes they are real wood! Pine to be exact. If you are nervous about using real wood, then go with the tiles. In general, I don’t recommend wood for a bathroom.
