Bathroom Before & After Ideas and Tips

Bathrooms are a portal to relaxation, calm and serenity!

Unless your bathroom doesn’t look like this……

ugly bathroom
https://www.flickr.com/photos/akbuthod/2851965302/

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!

Stop over and check it out!

2016 Color Trends.

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.

Our Holiday wish for you!

Thanksgiving 2012 - Copy

Over the last few years, BLACK FRIDAY has seemed to creep its way into the Thanksgiving Day Celebration. Many have criticized businesses for opening on Thanksgiving day and we here at The Carpet House agree with the critics.

Our policy at The Carpet House, Inc. has always been to close over the Thanksgiving Holiday from Thursday to Sunday allowing our employees quality time with their friends and family! While we greatly appreciate and look forward to helping you in purchasing flooring….we are confident that our customers understand the importance of why we stay closed.

Which is why, on December 5th, our beautiful town of Morrison, IL comes to life in  a very special way to celebrate Christmas.

Friends, Family and Strangers all come together to enjoy sleigh rides, decorated store fronts, visits with santa clause and our Holiday Hometown Parade! (which is always a favorite!)

For the last sixteen years, The Carpet House has hosted an Open House during Morrison’s Christmas Walk. We open our doors offering a yummy variety of homemade goodies and hot cocoa from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm! Holiday Baskets will be given away, good food and fun will be had for all!

So while we may be closed this Thanksgiving weekend, our HOLIDAY wish is that you will take the time to join us December 5th from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm for our HOLIDAY OPEN HOUSE!

Reclaim Bathroom DIY IDEAS that we LOVE!!

image

Take an old pallet and use them to create a beautiful focus wall!! What a fantastic way to bring that WOW factor to a half bath.

image

Vintage is awesome and this idea has my wheels spinning. Taking a vintage bicycle and upcycling it into a vanity is stunning….and take a look at how they used the bicycle basket. ❤

image

I am a huge fan of antique furniture, so this idea of using a side table as a vanity is love at first sight!

image

The key to a beautiful bathroom is first impressions and this reclaimed barn door has it all! BEAUTIFUL!!

image

Last but not least, little touches like this make reclaimed DIY projects so much fun! How can you resist such a neat idea?!?

This mom loves her PERMASTONE flooring!

image

This is my entry. Our crazy kid entrance….full of dirt and kids messes!!

A few months a go, we had permastone vinyl tile installed in our front entry and I am crazy impressed.
First, it looks amazing!
Second, it is so easy to clean and even if it gets a little dirty (which with three kids lets be honest is often) still looks great!
Third, the kids dragged a cracked up plastic bin across it….I was freaking out that there was going to be a giant scratch….and there wasn’t!!
Woohoo!!

Love this floor!!
