Our Woodland cottage has 2 full bathrooms, 1 upstairs with a bathtub, and 1 downstairs with a shower. The one downstairs is right off the living room. We’ve been wanting to update it with a simple DIY bathroom makeover.

Home Depot and Lowe’s both have “oops paint” sections, where you can purchase paint that was unclaimed or a customer decided on a different shade, and take it home for a fraction of the price! Several months ago, I bought a $5 gallon of dark blue paint and a $9 gallon of light blue paint.

We used the dark blue paint to update one of our bedrooms, used both shades of blue to transform our entryway into a playroom nook, and are now using the light blue paint for our bathroom makeover. I love how it transformed the bathroom!

DIY Touches!

After watching @thishouse5000’s insta stories several weeks ago, I had been on the hunt for a neglected little piece of art to revamp using a dip-dye paint technique.

I got the little framed lighthouse print for FREE from a neighbor’s driveway. I cleaned the frame using glass cleaner, and used painter’s tape to section off part of the frame. Then I used leftover white trim paint to add several coats to the glass and frame using a foam paint brush.

You can check out all of the how-to details about the dipped-dyed DIY artwork with before and after photos. I think the dipped-dyed update adds a little modern flare!

Several months ago, we had also picked up a free set of three 2-tier shelves from a neighbor. We are using a couple of shelves on the floor of our closet to store Margaret’s baby clothes. I took the extra shelf and sawed off the bottom legs, painted it the same light blue shade as the walls, and then screwed it into the wall over the toilet. It’s the perfect spot to store extra towels and washcloths, a cute plant, and a little tray we purchased last year at Salvation Army.

We purchased these clear glass bottles to hold hand soaps and dish soaps, and decorated them using these chalk labels. A tiny blue flower pot holds small lotions, and our bathroom makeover is complete!
