Mix month is still going strong and I have a big line up for you next week! But for the weekend I wanted to show you some progress I’m making in the girl’s bathroom. In July, I’ll have a whole month of house projects and frugal nesting ideas for you–this is just a sneak peek :).
Smart Tiles generously supplied the tiles for this post (after I begged them) and I honestly thought I would have it up and ready for them in April. If you remember, the space looked like this–very green:
I stripped the wallpaper and the popcorn ceiling and was stuck with how to repair this:
…and many areas like it. I finally hired a drywall guy to rescue me. He was amazing and affordable and I wish I had called him months ago.
This week, I primed and painted the space. It is white, white, white…from the ceiling to the floor. To keep it from being boring and cold, I have lots of gold accents and dramatic floor to ceiling curtains planned. Plus texture from faux bamboo shades, terry cloth rugs, and hexagonal tiles. These, to be exact. #onsalenow
I chose these tiles because I want the space done quickly without messing with concrete backer board, wet saws, adhesive or grout. Yet, I needed something to look great, be durable, and create a waterproof area. I was not disappointed.
Here’s a before and after picture:
The sink will eventually be white too.
I made a video for you showing how they work :).
It’s looks great!!! I’ve seen these tiles before in a store, but have never heard a review on them. So helpful to see this here, now maybe I’ll give them a try 😀
The company has been really great to work with, Debbie. A lot of their styles are on sale now. When you compare prices keep in mind that you don’t need anything else to install these. When you price tile, you also need to price mastic, backer-board, grout, sealer and a tile saw.
I love all your make it nice for now remodel posts they are so inspiring; smart tiles have me very excited! They look really easy to use and fast to put up which is avery appealing to someone in the process of attempting to buy a ranch with three houses on it that are all in a terrible state of really bad 1970’s remodel and 15 years of neglect. So impressed with you having the courage to dive in and make it beautiful along the way.
Anna, Your Ranch sounds AMAZING! I hope you get it.
O.M.G. I totally forgot how cute you are! Keep up the good work.
Aw, Thanks!
