Okay, well here is the not-so-big reveal of the guest bath redo. I consider it more of a mini makeover than anything else. There were no major renovations that took place this time around. Sooooo, without further ado, get ready to...
MOVE THAT MOUSE!
For the next three photos, move your mouse over the image to see the before and after!
(NOTE: If you are viewing this in a reader, you'll have to visit the post to view the effect.)
The white walls and beadboard are the AFTER photos. The blue walls are the BEFORES...

MORE PHOTOS
Here are a couple more shots in black and white...
What did we actually do?
- BEADBOARD WALLPAPER: on clearance at Menard's...took less than one roll
- CHAIR RAIL: a few cuts, some paint, and nailed it up
- PAINT: Swiss Coffee from Behr, paint roller, and my trusty Purdy paint brush
- ACCESSORIES: simply switched them out for things I already had
That's it. Nothing too earth shattering...more time than anything else. The costs were minimal but the simple details and textures created by the beadboard and chair rail add some cottage charm to the room.
Up next? Photos of some of the key accessories and details in the room.

OHHH I think it's a lovely little redeux! I ADORE,LOVE, COVET that scale on the back of your toilet! So glad I saw this on White Wednesday...it is my first one!
ReplyDeleteIt was beautiful before, now it is even more beautiful. Love the SWISS COFFEE and all your natural organic touches. Great job! Lori
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty before but now it is gorgeous! I love the nests, the beadboard paper(I use it too- way too easy!) the scale is fabulous! All of it looks like it took a lot of work, love it! Theresa
ReplyDeleteLove it! Great job.
ReplyDeleteKathleen
I like the room both ways. The blue looked serene. The beadboard looks cottage-y. Both are nice!
ReplyDeleteLove it Amy! Would never have guessed it to be wallpaper!
ReplyDeleteGreat transformation and I love the beadboard wallpaper. You have great accessories and I am looking forward to a post on them.
ReplyDeleteTake care,

I love how it came out! How do you do that thing where it goes back and forth over the photos. So neat! I love how it all came out. I am finally done with our bathroom! Yippy! Love the way yours turned out! ~lulu
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous. I love all the natural textures and those scales are so cool.

It looks awesome. I particularly love that little scale to hold soap and towelettes. If I ever would get to visit you at your cottage, you can consider that a goner, because I would so steal it in my purse. (good thing for you there is an ocean between us...)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous room!!
ReplyDeleteYou know what Amy? Both looks in the bathroom were great, but I am a neutral fan, so the update you just did speaks to me more. Lovely results for sure, and as someone else seen, so serene. Love it! Great job once again, and you fooled me with the wallpaper. Love the scale on the back of the toilet as well as the picture you've chosen and the towel rack (which I believe I was out shopping with you when you found.) :)
ReplyDeleteGretchen
Love it, love it, love it! The walls add so much more texture and interest to the room, and it really does look warmer... The scales are still my fave..
ReplyDelete:) Flick
Love the wallpaper and the paint color!
ReplyDeleteTheresa
Beautiful reuse of a vintage scale, everything in your bathroom is so inviting and charming! Very lovely blog, I shall follow you for more inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Beautiful transformations and I heart your black and white photos!
ReplyDeleteJeanine
Well it's official. I would SO take a bath at your house.
ReplyDeleteNo way! I can't believe how great that wallpaper looks. I love your decorating touches, this is a gorgeous makeover!
ReplyDeleteSooo cool! It looks like a million bucks!
ReplyDeleteAmy. it looks fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteWow !!! I absolutely adore your makeover.. love the scales on the back of the toilet! Genius!!!! Would love to find one to be able to do the same thing... I love the how the black and white photos capture the beauty of the art.. hugs ~lynne~
ReplyDeleteI just love the 'scale' and it's painted with iron paint... great up-grade...
ReplyDeletethanks so much for your comments on my blog today.. Sandy
Knew it would look fab- well done. Take that, all you nay-sayers, thinking you need a lot of money and time to spruce up a room.
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic...I covet those antique scales!
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful! I love the hives and scales!

Oh I really like this makeover. I particularly like the thick chair rail that you chose. That, combined with the beadboard, is gorgeous. Did you use a semi-gloss paint and did you like the Behr paint? I just used some Valspar semi-gloss to paint my woodwork, etc. after applying primer and the Valspar paint was disappointing. It wasn't very thick at all and took lots of coats. Just wondering how that compares with Behr. Thanks you for sharing this project on the Boardwalk Bragfest. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI really like how clean and fresh the room now looks. Using the bead board wall covering gave the room so much more character. And I LOVE the scale!!
ReplyDelete:-) Sue
Amy, so gorgeous! I honestly had a hard time knowing which to look for with your photos... the befores AND afters both looked awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteLove all that added character!
Thanks for linking up to SNS!

Beautiful Amy! I love the B&A effect! I love your style! Great changes!
ReplyDeleteSo serene and calming. I love the beadboard wallpaper. I just ordered two rolls I will be using to transform my kitchen cabinets.
ReplyDeleteI am amazed at the effect of the beadboard wallpaper! The result is stunning!
ReplyDeleteKathy
That looks so nice! I would love to be a guest in your home! Marcia
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was such a thing as beadboard wallpaper?! It looks great. Where in the world did you get bee hives?
ReplyDeleteYour bathroom looks fabulous! I LOVE the scale!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great weekend! ~ Jo
So nice, the before is as pretty as the after. I like those rockin' & rollin' photos :).
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love everything about it. The scale is a fabulous touch too.
