Quick, Cheap DIY projects

So many people know me and Wes bought a repo home, and COMPLETELY gutted and customized the whole house (THANKS GABBY & GRANDE!!)except the 2nd bathroom. Well we are finally getting around to finishing it up to an acceptable place now.
Here is where is started. YUCK!

Between the the weird wooden racks, ONE random decorative tile, missing accessories creating holes in the ceramic walls (soap dish & towel holder) equals one UGLY bathroom. And lets not mention the vanity is on its last leg, and the sick purple walls and the old school medicine cabinet. THANK GOODNESS THIS IS GONE!!

1)A new medicine cabinet, which I love from Lowes. It's huge!
2)Painted the vanity black
3)Installed new vanity lights to give it a modern touch
4)Painted walls red (It's the non-cheesy Bama bathroom)
All this gave this result:

Then came the task of ordering new ceramic accessories for all the holes and figure out ways to cover up the holes and weird decorative tile by the sinks.

5)Decorative Tile fix-old school toothbrush/tumbler holder to place right over.
6)Make picture to cover up two missing tiles till re-glazing time. (Thanks to Sherry) It took me forever to decide what kind of picture to put that wouldn't compete with the walls and take away from the theme. Then it came to me! ALPHABET PHOTOGRAPHY! So I found online the letters to spell Lambert. Printed them at home. Found a $5 frame at Walmart. Painted it the same color black as the vanity. Used sticky back velcro. We have a beautiful result for $8!!!

Now that all the accessories came in I hope this weekend we can fix the rest of the bathroom!!! YAH! I can't wait to see the result. I like the fact I'm keeping with the style of the house and not making it modern. Eventually I want to re-glaze all the walls white. Replace the vanity. Finally replace the tile floor with black and white penny tiles.

Next project. Hanging Aiden's curtain rods and valances since Gabby is working on his curtains. Because big boy is going to start to sleep in his room!!!

Well I bought cheapo double rods from Walmart. I didn't like the way they looked. So I bought some teal ribbon and wrapped it around the rod. Turned out great!!! hehe so both rods ended up being less than $9. Awesome!!! Sorry the pictures are dark, my camera was being weird.
