If you hate the way your bathroom looks, a full renovation is not in the cards, you may want to read how I transformed our guest bathroom with paint.

This refresh I did A LOT of painting.  Starting with the vanity cabinet.

The Power of Paint

The Vanity

Here is a reminder of what it looked like before this refresh.

I painted the cabinet with Studio Clay (Shermin William color) chalk paint (I had Lowe’s tint the chalk paint).  Gave the cabinet two coats, I then did a wax technique with dark wax by Behr.  Last step I gave the cabinet two coats with Polyurethane in Matt finish.

The Hardware

For the cabinet hardware, I used the same hardware but stained the wooden handles black and spray painted the metal with Rust-Oleum Metallic Gold spray paint.

The Faucet and Bathtub Fixtures

The next project I wanted to change was the bathroom faucets and bathtub/shower fixtures.

If you look close enough you can see some yellowing appearing on the fixtures.  Instead of replacing them, I wanted to try Gold Leaf Rub ‘n Buff to see if it would work.

Before

After two coats of Rub ‘n Buff and a topcoat of Rust-Oleum Ultra Semi-Gloss clear sealer.

I am not sure how long they will last, but for now they look fantastic.

The Light Fixtures

Another project I changed with spray paint, the light fixtures.  I went with a two tone, black satin spray paint and metallic gold spray paint.

Before

I used satin Canyon Black Rust-Oleum Spray Paint and Metallic Gold to give both a new look.

The Walls

I painted the vanity wall with functional grey and the other three walls Even Better Beige in the last bathroom refresh.

To freshen up the walls I painted all the walls with Heritage Grey by Valspar in eggshell.

By painting the trim, crown molding and doors the same color but in a satin finish, makes the room look taller and larger.

The Mirror

Let’s talk about the mirror.  This mirror (it is no longer available) I found in Kirkland’s, I love the details and size of the mirror for the vanity.

I did the same process as the vanity.  Chalk painted and waxed the frame.  Instead of hanging it up and down, I placed it long ways.

The Flooring Tiles

This brings us to the flooring, we created a border with small various brown tiles outlining the perimeter of the floor.  In the center we placed 4 larger detailed tiles.

Using Valspar Porch & Patio paint in weathered oak I had left over from when I painted the concrete on our back porch. For the border and the center diamond with the paint.  I taped off a diamond shape design and painted the border with Cracked Pepper.  Painting the area with two coats of Polyurethan.  I also painted and sealed the grout lines as well.

What I spray painted in decorations.  I spray painted with metallic gold, the shower curtain rod and rings and shower caddy.

Two hooks I once had in the foyer, I am using them as towel hooks.

Do you see the bath board and how I styled it?  I shared the tutorial on a previous blog post.  HERE.

The shelves I chalk painted and waxed them as well.  Styled them a little differently.

A little change to the toilet tank, I changed out the tank handle to a brass metal handle.  Just a little gold accent.

Let’s take a scan of the bathroom as it looks now.

I am very pleased with how warm and cozy the guest bathroom is now.  It has the moody feel to it now.

I will let you know how well the floor and faucets holds up.

Thanks for coming over to view my guest bathroom reveal.  I hope I inspired you to get out the paint brush and change things you would like to change with paint!
