On my journey to refurbish this one hundred year old building, it was refreshing to have a project that would not take too much work to spruce up. Whenever I envision fixing up a home, I usually think that the bathrooms need the most work, but that was not the case this time. The gorgeous antique tile was in excellent condition, and aside from the vanity, the bathroom was really great. The colors of the tile were fairly neutral and the floor tile was grey and beige! (Very neutral for the time period!) All this room needed was some paint, a new vanity and a good cleaning. Easy fixes!
New paint color. The walls, ceiling, and trim used to be beige. Now the ceiling is my favorite Antique Lace White, and the walls are in a soft cream. All of the wood trim was painted to match the accents in the tile, Moroccan Brown.
Here is the bathroom after I painted, and before I replaced the vanity.

| The 1930's style pink bathtub was not in bad shape! (I kind-of like it's charm.) |
I didn't even need to re-do any of the grout... no mold, no broken tiles!
Finished product (For now)
Total cost of this renovation: $200
Paint: $75
Vanity: $100
Decor: $25
