Home Improvements

After becoming addicted to HGTV I decided that I needed to redecorate or should I just say decorate our bathroom. I do have to say the pictures don't give it justice.

Before

After


I painted the wall a light creme/tan color (which is hard to see in the pictures) and then bought new counter top decor. Hung a hand towel ring on the right wall (also hard to see in the pics.)and the main thing was we framed the mirror. Austin help me take the measurements of our mirror and then we went down to Home Depot and I picked out the crown molding I wanted to use to make a frame, Austin cut it and then we brought it home and stained it to match the cupbaords. I think it came out pretty good!
*Note if we weren't renting I would have stained the cupboards and the mirror espresso and replaced the light fixture, but this will have to do for now for us renters!

It looks amazing! I love it! I was just watching those hgtv shows this weekend and framing the mirrors is such a simple but great way to jazz up the room! Like design on a dime. haha (did I really say jazz up?! haha)
