A main bathroom used daily by family members and guests needed an aesthetic upgrade. The space was highly visible from the front door and hallway, and it felt drab after years in the home. The homeowner began by removing a builder mirror and found unfinished drywall underneath. Attempts to patch the drywall with putty and paint were unsuccessful, leading to a new plan. Peel-and-stick wallpaper was considered but was too expensive, so black-and-white floral print contact paper from a dollar store was used instead. The contact paper provided a better-than-expected result. The dated cabinets were then updated by removing the doors to continue the refresh.
"Everyone who comes into our house sees this bathroom. It's visible from the front door, and you see it when you go through the hallway. In addition to being the most visible bathroom, it's also the most used. The kids and my mom share this washroom, and it's the guest bathroom. We really wanted to refresh this space."
"Raj started her bathroom makeover by taking down the builder's mirror, only to discover unfinished drywall underneath. After a few unsuccessful attempts to patch it up with putty and paint over it, Raj scrambled to come up with a backup plan. She thought about peel-and-stick wallpaper, but found that it wasn't in her budget. She ultimately landed on black-and-white floral print contact paper from the dollar store, which ended up working out even better than her original plan to paint."
"We wanted to clean it up before the kids started school so that it would be a happy and bright place for them to start their mornings. After four years in her home, she decided it was finally time to spruce up this room. A drab bathroom can be particularly disappointing when it's the one the whole family is using every day."
"I absolutely love the wallpaper, and I can't believe it happened by accident! Then it was time to work on the dated cabinets. She removed the doors"
