We have the tiniest bathroom on earth in our basement and it was in desperate need of a makeover!!
I partnered up with Zazous Online for the flooring that I needed to bring my vision for this bathroom to life.
Tiny Bathroom Makeover - Part 1
These are the things I've gathered up for the room so far. I decided to go really bold here!
I found the little basket with colorful straw flowers at Goodwill and that's what I designed the whole room around! Sounds a little crazy, doesn't it?! I don't know... I just really loved that little basket! 😂
I chose the bold wallpaper first. Then I sourced the flooring I liked to coordinate with it (on the left). I found the Opal House rug and the shower curtain (originally from Target) at Goodwill brand new!
I created a video that shows how we got from that hideous mess to where we are now!
Let me show you the before pictures of this bathroom so you can get a real idea of just how far we've come!!
This bathroom sink was so shallow that even with just a weak stream of water it splashed all over, and please tell me how you are supposed to use that towel bar next to the sink 😕
Now that I've turned your stomachs with the hideous before pictures, let's get on to the fun stuff!! DEMO!!
There's much more to see in the video so be sure to watch that but we removed the old vanity and sink and donated those to Habitat for Humanity. We removed the toilet temporarily so I could get the new floor down easily (plus it just feels better to get a new wax ring down and a new toilet seat)! And I removed that medicine cabinet, the towel bar, and the old shower curtain rod.
Finally, the deed was done.
This is the new floor that I was drooling over, it's the Mid-Century Emerald Sheet Vinyl. I am so happy that Zazous Online wanted to collaborate with me, be sure to check out their Etsy store, they've got so many cool choices including some that look like wood and they have furniture too!
They are in the UK but shipping was so fast!
I laid it out on the floor a couple of days ahead of our project so it could acclimate and flatten out.
This stuff was so easy to install, you can cut it with scissors. I measured the bathroom and then added a couple of inches on all sides just to be sure since I only had ONE chance to get it right, I must have measured 8 times, I was so nervous!!
Ta-da!! You'll see in the video, this is an upgrade from old vinyl sheeting because there's no need to glue it down, it's kind of a big carpet! You can even cut it to smaller sizes and use it as an area rug/floor cloth!! Hallelujah! I'm so tired of scraping glue!!
I read online that you can use double-sided carpet tape around the edges if you're nervous about it moving around. I am installing new baseboard molding that will hold down the edges of this but it's not going to curl like regular sheet vinyl anyway. I will most likely use a strip of tape along the doorway but there will eventually be a threshold there when we get the laundry room done.
I toyed with the idea of ordering more wallpaper but there's always the chance that it won't match perfectly when you do that and this is from Spoonflower and it's expensive. I decided that maybe the whole bathroom wallpapered in this and the bold floor together in this small room might be a bit much anyway, so I just did this one wall and then chose a pretty green to paint the rest of the walls.
- a mirror
- a fun update to the shower
- a DIY sliding door to separate this room from the laundry when needed
- decorating!!!
- Floors - Mid-Century Emerald Sheet Vinyl from Zazous Online
- Wallpaper - Vintage Mushrooms from Spoonflower on Amazon
- Paint - Polar Bear by Behr from Home Depot (I already had the green paint)

- Sink - Freestanding Tahila Space Saving Laundry tub from Amazon (it comes with the faucet and pipes!)

ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteI love it! Fun and innovative ideas! I'm interested to see what you do with the opening in the wall and the shower. No one can accuse you of being afraid of color! LOL!
