The farmhouse bath down the hall got some much needed updates recently. We painted the cabinets. I just realized I didn’t get a photo of all of the cabinets. but you can see the much of the changes. Below is a photo I took years ago, but you get the idea. The cabinets were stained.
I love the fresher, lighter look of the painted cabinets. The counter top is tile. It is the country after all. You can see another set of cabinets in the mirror. Well I’ll take more photos when I can to show you the rest of the room.
Am I going to rip out those counter tops just because I’m not so crazy about them right now? No. I am leaving them. They look fine, not great, but fine. I know that I am not the only one working with older selections that aren’t the height of fashion. I wanted to get the most bang for my buck, so I just focused on the paint.
And really, it’s amazing what a few cans of paint will do for a room.
So what do you do to change up the look of your bathroom?
If you are looking for some Farmhouse French style for your home, I’ve got some goodies in my shop right now.
Grainsacks! I’ve sold half my stock in just a few days.
And I love architectural prints too, so I’ve added a few fabulous ones.
Changed the look of your bathroom quite a bit. It is amazing what lightening cabinets can do for the rest of a room. Wonderful Anita, will be waiting for the rest.
Honestly, I don’t mind the tiled top! It’s not the kitchen so it’s fine! Lovely!
Simply beautiful! I think editing down and lightening up the decorative accents made a big impact in freshening up the space. The tile on the countertop looks like travertine/tumbled marble, which I think works… after all, a farmhouse is a collected look over time, so having something that has obviously been there for awhile is very appropriate. LOVE the first photo, with the wainscoting. We recently added an attached garage to our home, with a guest suite and half bath upstairs, in which I had white bead board wainscoting installed… I have it in my kitchen, too. Not only does it look great, but very practical. Keep up the fabulous work, Anita!
I want to add more softness to my bathrooms…been searching for the right fabric…love the updates you have made Anita!
I really like what you’ve done … and I think the bench top is more than fine! I really like those tumbled tiles. Also love the wainscoting. My house is only a year old, but already I am changing paint colours etc! It’s so good to remember, that like a garden things can get a whole new look so easily! Jenny
Anita,
I haven’t made any “real” changes in my bathroom. . .
I absolutely adore its look and appeal from our initial remodel
thirteen years ago!!! I do, occasionally change out the towels.
One item, I’m needing to change is my outer shower curtain.
With fabulous rose toile print wall paper, I want something subtle
that won’t take away from the wall papers’ beauty within the space!!!
Like you, in the beginning, I had dark walnut cabinets.
The change to white made an amazing impact on the size and brightness of the room!!!
I adore your soft color palette!!! Simplistic changes are often the key in small spaces!!!
Thank you for sharing!!!
Fondly,
Pat
The bathroom is beautiful! Love the white vanity, and the tiles look great too! We recently painted one of our standard builder grade oak bathroom cabinets white, and WOW, what a beautiful difference! I also have white wainscoat in our master bedroom, hallway bath (wider planks), kitchen walls (recently added), and up 3/4 of the way in our mudroom…LOVE it in all those places. Your home is gorgeous…:)
Good Morning Anita ~

And your countertop is beautiful ~ It blends so beautiful with everything ~
Have a great day
