| I recently gave my bathroom a complete | | | | looks great. The bathroom is much brighter now |
| makeover. It was much | | | | than it was |
| easier than I expected, and only took a few | | | | before.To gain some extra storage space, we |
| days to complete. | | | | purchased a white cabinet |
| For less than $200 I gave my bathroom a | | | | that stands over the toilet. It has four shelves |
| completely new look that | | | | and a cupboard |
| I love.The first thing I did was choose some | | | | and cost about $100 at Home Depot. I recently |
| paint. I started out with | | | | saw that Walmart |
| bare white walls. I chose Kilz brand paint. The | | | | had some similar cabinets for between $50 and |
| color is called | | | | $75.We have two windows in our bathroom so I |
| "Garden Glove" (a cheerful spring green), and a | | | | thought plants would |
| gallon cost about | | | | really brighten up the room. I bought some |
| $15 at Walmart. One gallon was plenty to paint | | | | pretty solid color |
| the entire | | | | flower pots from Walmart for a couple of dollars |
| bathroom. Just painting the bathroom gave it | | | | and some |
| whole new look. I | | | | matching spring primroses (less than $2 each). I |
| also bought a small can of white paint to touch | | | | set the pots on |
| up the paint | | | | top of the new cabinet. The finishing touch will be |
| around the doorways.Because our master | | | | a couple of |
| bathroom is not very well lit, we decided to | | | | ferns to hang above the garden bathtub, in front |
| change the light fixture. For only $40 (including | | | | of the windows.I love my new bathroom. It looks |
| bulbs) at | | | | like a completely different |
| Home Depot, we installed a vanity light fixture | | | | room. Just a few simple changes can update and |
| over the mirror | | | | rejuvenate your |
| behind the sinks. It only took a few minutes to | | | | bathroom too!Rachel Paxton is a freelance writer |
