How To Makeover A Bathroom For Under $200 - Part 1

I'm so excited to be sharing how we made over our boys bathroom for under $200! This bathroom makeover should have been done when we first moved in, 2 years ago! But, I'm glad we waited so I could come up with a better design plan than just painting the walls. I'm going to break this bathroom makeover post into a two or three part post since going into all of the details about installing some of products gets pretty lengthy. For this PART 1, I'm sharing the before and after pictures with the products we used. I'll be sharing the process with tips on installing the Peel and Stick Tiles and the Board & Batten in PART 2 and PART 3!

When I started planning this bathroom makeover I had planned on buying a new mirror (a gold one), spray painting the light fixture black and spray painting the faucet black. Once we finished installing the board & batten and painting , the brushed nickel finish didn't look as dated anymore and decided to leave it as is. I think brushed nickel is a timeless finish and changing everything to black will eventually go out of style. It saved us about $60-$120 too by leaving the black mirror.

French Country Nightstand Makeover with Fusion Mineral Paint

I really have a soft spot for furniture that has a lot of detail! I check Facebook Marketplace about 100 times a day looking for antique pieces at a good price. A good price to me is $20! 🤣 The most I've ever paid for a piece of furniture was $60. It was a buffet that was already painted HERE and felt that it was well worth the $60 considering the size of the piece. 

When I came across this gorgeous French nightstand listed for $50 I really wanted it! I messaged the seller offering $20 and he said no. About an hour later he messaged back saying if I came that day for it I could have it for $20! It was meant to be mine!❤

I used Fusion Mineral Paint in "Little Whale" for the body and "Casement" for the white details. Fusion Mineral Paint is my favorite paint for furniture! There is minimal prep work, the paint goes on supper smooth and there's a built in top coat, which means you don't have to apply a sealer over most projects. I'll be sharing a more detailed post about FMP products soon!
