Q: I am renting and this is my bathroom. Help! I am allowed to do pretty much anything aside from ripping up the tile counter top. I definitely want to paint the wood base cabinets and paint the walls...

Apart from a great cup of coffee, a great bathroom can start your day off on the right foot. Unfortunately, if you rent, your hands are tied. You can't exactly start ripping out tiles and replacing ...
When prepping our home for an evening of entertaining, we always like to pay special attention to the bathroom. It's the one room in the house where guests are left alone (to judge, peek, etc.) and...
While we were working with a client this week at their shop, we pretty much got locked in the bathroom. Yep, definitely a first! The doorknob came loose, wouldn't catch the door release and 30 minutes...
As a frequent visitor in other folk's homes, we often notice how bathroom decor gets overlooked--a lot. It's usually the smallest space in the house, yet at the same time the most used. We love that...
As a decor blog, it's a lot easier than you might think to lose sight of what's "real" and what's...well, hmm..."relatable"? You see, when we research ideas to write posts about, we'll spend hours tr...
The Three Gardrobes by Tamizo Architects Group is an interesting idea: instead of cramming the utilities of the typical bathroom into a small space, the Three Gardrobes compartmentalizes the bath, t...

Dear Apartment Therapy: I must paint this week and I need some suggestions on a painting scheme that will totally knock this retro bathroom up. I am game for anything and I will choose whomever offer...
When you have only one bathroom in your home, you have to be creative with it! Sometimes guest bathroom, sometimes storage space and all the time everyday life, your bathroom's style has many sides. C...
When it comes right down to it, if you're renting, it's all about putting the least amount of work in for the maximum gain. Then there's the tiny issue of very often not really being able to do anyth...
We're sorry we didn't remember this little gem during bathroom month, but from a house tour ages ago comes this amazing hand painted flower mural in a classic pink and yellow tiled bathroom:...
We talked before about how to turn one of these closets into a great, hide-able workspace, but running across this image from Southern Living, we were surprised to see it turned into a tiny powder roo...
For a bite-sized bathroom, shelving can be tricky. You don't want to overpower the room with bulky, unattractive shelving but your items still need a place to call home (preferably a spot that's out ...
We love the look of a wallpapered bathroom. It can transform a tiny space into a serene little jewel box--just check out the powder rooms that Beth highlighted a couple weeks ago. But for us renters...

A couple of years ago we saw an ingenious DIY (albeit for very able diy'ers). The people moving into our old office brought in a mid century craigslist credenza, cut a hole in the top of it and dropp...
To round out our week of repurposing we found Paper Cake's wine rack that she repurposed to hold towels in the bathroom. Creative storage in the bathroom is a must and we love it when we find ways to...
