Andrea’s bathroom was okay before, but it bugged her that it didn’t fit with the style of the rest of their home: “We live in a 122-year old farmhouse, and this cookie-cutter bathroom just didn’t cut it. So we brightened and farmhoused this baby up.” Here’s how it looks now…
What a difference! And the entire remodel only cost $1,300 — not bad considering they gutted the room and started over.
They found the (now-discontinued, boo) sinks at Menard’s for only $110 each. The walls and floor are painted “Cotton White” from Better Homes & Gardens. And the rug is Dash & Albert’s Staffordshire Stripe.
“For the shelf above the towels and the doors on the cabinet we used old fencing we had lying around,” Andrea explains. “A quick sanding unveiled a beautiful worn wood…perfect for adding some warmth to this mostly all white bathroom.”
I love the bathroom’s new farmhouse look!

Hi Julia,
I think the results are fantastic. I love the farmhouse look and the clean white walls. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers!

Just spectacular. So many before / afters I could browse all day. I love it that people put more value in re-using and recycling rather than throwing away and building new. Such an inspiration.
WOW! That was quite a transformation. So clean and crisp. I love the all white and love the sinks especially. What I really admire was the price tag. Nicely done!!!!
I love this bathroom and it was really nice even before!
Very cute.
You say they painted walls and floor: does it mean that they are made of wood?
Now that you mention it, the walls are wood, but the floor looks like tile. It does look like they painted the tile, though, doesn’t it? I’ll have to check her blog to see if she explains it better than I did! 🙂
Love what they did to match with the old farmhouse look!
My only caveat would be that I hate to lose the storage space under the old vanity! But the sinks look great!
I love it! I’m very jealous about those sinks – what a price! And the mismatched mirrors are one of my favorite things.
Oh, this is gorgeous! I love the mismatched mirrors and weathered wooden elements, along with the crisp and clean whites. Amazing!
Love those sinks, the different mirrors, how clean it all looks. I wish the landlord would let us remodel our little postage stamp-sized bathroom like this!
Beautiful!!! It looks so open, airy, and clean now! Love the sinks, they are so cute and old fashioned, actually $110 doesn’t really seem that much for a stylish pair of hand washing basins like those!
Gorgeous! I love how homey it feels now!
FYI, those sinks look like the sink I just bought from Pottery Barn. Needless to say, they got a much better price. I waited till I had a coupon but it still didn’t come close to that price. Very clean and crisp feeling! We’ve slowly got rid of our builder-stock cabinets and it has made such a difference in our baths too. Great job!
Love those planked walls! Perfect for a farmhouse; so refreshing! The “before” was ordinary and the “after” hardly looks like the same space! So impressed with the price she spent; looks like thousands more. I like that the mirrors don’t match; makes me want to know their story!
Yes, I love the mismatched mirrors. I would have never thought to do that, but it is quirky and fun. They look like part of the 122-year-old history of this farmhouse! Great reno!
Really like this! Super great job. I really like the mirrors as is, but for living with I’d probably go symmetrical. I’d love to try red or black mirrors! I’m definitely going to her blog to see about the painted floors. I truly appreciate the idea of the cabinet door above the toilet. Well done!
What a differnce lts so light and airy
Lovely bathroom renovation. I love the panelled walls and the large rug. It’s all so fresh. I agree with House Crazy Sarah about losing all that storage space, as I’d love to have some under my wash basin! But maybe not having that much storage space keeps things clutter free.
Those sinks are amazing!!! That is a crazy good price for a reno. Not sure how they managed that. We’re adding a basement bathroom and that’s the price just for the plumber. :-\
I love the upgrades you made with this bathroom. They look amazing.
Yay! Thanks, Kristine!
Hello Julia, that bathroom was nicely done! I love the layout. I love the upgrades you made with this bathroom. They look amazing. Floor is so cool. Great bathroom and great use of the space. I really love that door those tiles are pretty and I like the reused door. Great job.
