Retro Bathroom Makeover

For the longest time, I've been trying to figure out what to do with our bathroom. The first thing that inspired me was a bathroom I saw on Madmen with gray walls and a black sink cabinet. (Ok yes, it was the Glen scene. But the bathroom was still pretty awesome.) Unfortunately the color was way too dark and didn't have the same class without the amazing wallpaper from the show. So after leaving our bathroom in limbo for several months, I finally went back to square one.

Here are some designs that really inspired me:









This is how our bathroom looked when we bought the house. It seemed like parts of it had been renovated pretty recently. The medicine cabinet, sink cabinet and light fixture are definitely not my style.



Soooo this is the plan! (Yay for Photoshop!) It's simple, but I think it's a lot more cohesive (and vintage) than what we had. The most expensive part is definitely going to be tiling the floor and tub area. But since the room is so small (and what I picked is so basic), it shouldn't be too bad. Home Depot has the square tiles for $0.85/sqft and the octagonal floor tiles are about $2.50/sqft. I'll be sure to post our forays into tiling when it comes to it. I can't wait to see all this come together!
