A Peek Into The Half Bath (and my favorite bathroom wallpapers!)

Posted by admin on June 30, 2022

The half bath has turned into one of my favorite little spots in the home. Originally, we were going to leave this pretty much as-is, but we last minute decided it needed some sprucing. We were able to do some really budget friendly updates that completely rejuvinated the space.

Here's a before of what it looked like when we bought the home...

Nothing bad about it, but also, nothing special either! I actually really love the original tile and felt like it would have been a crime to get rid of it. It just needed a little spice!!

Here's a list of the updates I wanted to do:

Wallpaper
New Light
New Toilet
New Vanity
New Hardware (bathroom faucet, towel & toilet hanger)

I searched for HOURS for both the wallpaper and the vanity. Do you know how hard it is to find an 18" vanity that looks semi-decent?! Nearly impossible!!!

I ended up finding this vanity and the price was in the budget enough where I was able to replace the faucet with this beauty and change the knob out. Honestly, the faucet was more than the vanity :/ but I feel like that's what it really needed to take it to the next level.

Side note - I am crushing hard on polished nickel right now. Can't believe I am even saying this, but I think I might do the next houses kitchen entirely in polished nickel. From a die hard gold/brass fan, that is a very large statement ;).

And then the wallpaper...THE WALLPAPER! Loveeeee. Back in March, I went through all different wallpaper samples trying to find the perfect one. I had everyone vote on Instagram stories between these three...

I really liked all of these, but ended up going with the top one. Due to the house being almost one hundred years old, the walls have a little too much texture to them. I thought the business of the wallpaper would do an amazing job hiding the texture!

I got the wallpaper from a new company called Spoonflower. I am really impressed with the quality and would definitely recommend. They have all different textures, but I went with the non-pasted traditional pebble.

Here's the final product!
