I’m so excited to share with you our up to date half toilet! We tackled this house 5 years in the past and whereas I nonetheless beloved the design of it, functionally some issues weren’t working effectively anymore. So I took this chance to offer it a bit of refresh and make it really feel extra cozy with a classic impressed vibe in partnership with Lowe’s.
THE BEFORE OF OUR HALF BATH
Here’s what it used to appear like. The primary points we had had been with the tap and self-importance.
We used to have tremendous exhausting water till we bought a softener, and it did a quantity on the tap. It was tremendous corroded and inconceivable to show the handles. And this can be a toilet the youngsters use continuously so we wanted to have a faucet that was simple for them to make use of.
Actually, even earlier than the exhausting water did a quantity on it, the water circulation was by no means nice and it was nonetheless exhausting to show the handles.
As for the self-importance…I discovered it for $3o on market and refinished it. It’s an ideal little cupboard, however after time the wooden began to separate on the highest and sides. So earlier than it completely fell aside, we wanted to interchange that too.
I went again to market to see what I might discover, as a result of I nonetheless just like the look of utilizing an previous piece of furnishings for an arrogance – it provides a lot attraction! I ended up scoring this stunning oak dresser for $75 and it was a lot sturdier and stable than what we had earlier than.
In the event you’ve been following for some time, you know the way a lot I really like my darkish walnut gel stain. This dresser was already stunning as is, however the end was a bit of too orange for me, so I sanded it down and gave it a contemporary coat of stain.
After having a wooden high on our previous self-importance, I didn’t love the way it held up over time. So I made a decision to do stone on this one. I went to the native stoneyard, Battista Granite, who fabricated the stone for our kitchen. I discovered essentially the most stunning remnant piece of Mont Blanc quartzite and had them fabricate it to suit our sink.
Purchasing remnants is such an effective way to get the designer look on a finances! It immediately elevated the look of my little classic dresser.
I had papa assist me with a number of whizz banging (aka the oscillating multi-tool) to make room for all of the plumbing within the self-importance. One of many solely cons of utilizing an previous dresser as an arrogance is that’s wants changes in order that every little thing suits beneath. Fortunately we had been capable of nonetheless hold the performance of the drawers!
In the event you’re a DIYer and don’t personal this device, you want one in your life! We use it for every little thing and it’s so multi purposeful.
As soon as we had the self-importance set it was time to place all of it collectively and add some ending touches.

Most of what I used on this toilet got here from Lowe’s who’s all the time our go-to for DIY instruments and provides. However I used to be pleasantly stunned at their collection of dwelling decor too. It began with this beautiful classic impressed faucet that was the inspiration for this entire refresh.

I really like the best way it pairs with our vessel sink with rounded edges – it’s such a singular form and I can by no means say no to extra curves.
To complete off the self-importance, I discovered essentially the most stunning {hardware} at Lowe’s. I’ve all the time admired the big choice they’ve in retailer, however they’ve a good bigger choice on-line with so many alternative types.
I discovered essentially the most good aged brass knobs for the highest drawers, and essentially the most beautiful handles for the bigger ones. I’ll by no means get sick of how brass and darkish walnut look collectively, it’s my favourite mixture to make use of in our dwelling!
The opposite huge change we made in right here was the lighting. It’s superb how a easy lighting change can have such a big effect. I needed one thing a bit of softer and fewer trendy and these beautiful brass mini pendants with frosted glass shades couldn’t be extra good.
To tie into our faucet, I selected a brand new towel hook and bathroom paper holder in the identical stunning brass end. Additionally they have a classic flare to them and add one other aspect of heat to this room.
Whereas I do love my brass, I didn’t wish to go overboard. So for the change plate covers I discovered these nice picket ones and stained them the identical coloration because the self-importance. It helps tie into the wooden of the shelf as effectively and was one other enjoyable method to herald my favourite wooden tone.
And what room refresh could be full with out some classic touches?! I discovered this stunning vintage arched wooden mirror on market and made a enjoyable little gallery wall with some thrifted frames and art work. Added in some hydrangeas from our yard, and a few dried florals and this house was achieved!
