Before and After: This Tiny Bathroom Redo Triggers Some Major Cute Aggression
Some bathrooms are modern and sleek, others are luxurious and spa-worthy. And then there are those adorable ones that you just want to squeeze. This is one of those bathrooms.
If the diminutive size wasn’t enough, it also helps that this bathroom is now blush pink, which ups the cuteness factor by 100 times. (For the color curious, the shade is Sherwin-Williams Intimate White). The shade looks great with the brass accents and black hardware and fixtures.
Mackenzie—the designer behind Craven Haven—remodeled this tiny bathroom using some tried and true tactics to save space: The wall-mounted sink and vertical storage over the toilet help squeeze in everything needed to make the space both functional and pretty. She says it best:
I can’t stress enough what a HUGE difference this made in our little bathroom. Mounting the sink to the wall brings the eye up and subconsciously creates breathing room.
The budget for this project wasn’t huge, so Mackenzie shopped around at affordable places for the main fixtures and some key decor. The floor tile was sourced locally, the subway tile is from Wayfair, the sink is from Overstock, the mirror is all Target, and the shelving and brackets come from World Market. She accessorized with a lot of items from her own home. She also recommends H&M’s home section for cute trays, baskets, and boxes.
Mackenzie has another very clever and very real tip to keep costs down, while still getting the look and finishes you love:
Work with your plumber to determine what you already have and what you need. Instead of buying all new pipes in your desired finish, you can take a trip to your local powder coating shop. This will save you a bunch of time waiting on obscure parts to come in, and a BUNCH of money on said pipes.
Thanks so much Mackenzie and Craven Haven!
