Guest Bath Before & After

My client was looking for an inexpensive update for her main floor guest bathroom.  Here is a picture of what it looked like before:


We had the wallpaper stripped and painted the walls "Breezy" by Sherwin Williams (SW7616).  A new vanity was custom made and a vessel sink make the space feel warm and cozy.  Here is the after:

Painted Paneling & Wainscoting: Adding Character

Do you have dark wood blah paneling in your home? Have you ever thought about painting it but are unsure of what it would look like? Need to add a little character to a boring space?  Painted paneling and wainscoting can change the entire look and feel of a room without spending a lot of money. It is inexpensive to add trim work details to your walls and ceilings.  MDF boards can be used in place of the more expensive wood and trim pieces, and it comes in a primed option saving you an extra step in the painting process.
Find some inspiration here:

Happy Painting!
