When we moved into our house 3 years ago this is what our half bath looked like:
So ugly!!
Using the same paint from our dining room update, we quickly painted over the atrocious wallpaper.
I added a couple of ledge shelves and accessories (for under $15) and a shabby chic mirror that I already had. Then I gathered and spray painted a handful of mismatched thrift store frames in the same color. I added some prints/photos that I had on hand....and voilà...and updated half bath for under $20:
Much better!
