Bathrooms are a portal to relaxation, calm and serenity!

Unless your bathroom doesn’t look like this……

and instead looks like this?!?!

So how do you get your bathroom from “Woah….that’s scary!” To

“Wow! That’s spectacular!”

We have a few blogs that took a scary or underwhelming bathroom and turned it into an amazing bathroom retreat!!

Provident Home Design did a great job in this powder bathroom redo!

One tip I love is that knockoffs are awesome! If you see a mirror you fall in love with but it is $700 why not try to make it yourself for a fraction of the cost?

Don’t think you can do it? Well why not check out the local goodwill or salvation army. You would be surprised what knockoffs you can create with a thrift find and a can of spray paint!!

This blog has all sorts of tips, tutorials and if you’re looking for style inspiration…so when looking for decorating help….look no further!    Provident Home Design Bathroom Redo

Next is a fantastic bathroom DIY before and after project!

Persnickety Plates is an adorable blog.

Melissa shows the redo of various projects done. Like us here at the Carpet House, she loves a good before and after post! This post of her bathroom redo lives up to high standards!

This post highlights the redo of her bathroom. As she says it is not to big but not small by any accounts….so finding the right color choices was important.

What we liked best about this post is her choice of paint and floor tile! Grey is the new trend and her photos highlight how beautiful and calm the right color grey can be.

Interested in learning more about the 2016 Color Trends…..we have a post about that!

Our next blog that has a pretty fantastic DIY Redo is The Handmade Home. For Ashley and her husband Jmnin, it all started with a bit of mold in the bathroom.

The bathroom went from choppy and dated to open and airy. The closed in shower was opened up with glass doors and the dated tan tile was transformed with beautiful white wall tiles and a beautiful mosaic tile floor.

This Redo made our list because of the detail included in the blog/article. Pictures show just how damaging one leak can be and how in-depth a full bathroom remodel can get.
