It’s Week 3 of my guest participation in the One Room Challenge hosted by Calling It Home and we’re at the halfway mark of my Spa-Inspired Bathroom Makeover! In case you missed any of my previous posts, you can catch up here:
Week 1 (Bathroom Before Photos) // Week 2 (Gray and White theme) // Week 3 (You are here) // Week 4 (Updates to Refresh Guest Bath // Week 5 (You are here) // Week 6 (The Room Reveal) 
Besides sourcing for products in store and online, this past week was all about painting our guest bathroom. You’d think painting a small bathroom wouldn’t take too much time but with all the tight corners, it actually took more effort than I anticipated.
The arduous task of cutting in edges of the wall is always my least favorite part of painting.
Remember how I chose Valspar’s Gravity paint color for our bathroom? Here’s how it came out after 2 coats. This color looks like a deeper gray in the evening.
Here’s how the paint color looks by our shower. The light from our window hits this spot so the paint color appears lighter. I think it goes nicely with the tiles in our shower!
Of course, I love to create more work for myself by not just sticking to just 1 paint color for the room.
Yep, I had to add an accent wall color to one of the walls! It’s very subtle during the day when the room is brighter. In the evenings, when the light sconces are on, you can clearly see the difference in the 2 gray paint colors.
I’m not done with all the painting yet. While the walls are all painted, I still need to paint the trim and door. Oh yeah, there may be one or two or three spots I may have to touch up by the ceiling. 😉
In the past week, I must’ve spent 4 days out shopping for products. Fortunately, I had a few successful trips because I was able to find things perfect for our bathroom. Here are some peeks:
1. White Bathroom Towels
I bought 2 sets of these towels from Home Goods. I love the gray threading. It’s a subtle detail but perfect to go with our gray and white color scheme!
2. Gray and White Damask Fabric
I found this fabric at Hobby Lobby. I only needed 3/4 yard of this fabric to make a valance for our existing bamboo blinds. This is a great way to refresh the look of the blinds! Will need to start on this project this week!
3. Hand-crafted Wall Art
I’m always drawn to carved wood decor. This wall art will add interest and texture to our bathroom. Guess what? I won’t just be displaying this piece as it looks now. I’ll be bedazzling it with some beauteeful elements. Can’t wait to show you!
4. Floral-carved White-washed Mirror
This purchase was a biggie! I literally spent the most time online and in stores looking for the perfect mirror to go above our vanity. Not only did the style need to go with the overall theme, I needed the mirror to be within a set measurement.
Since I don’t want to have our sconces moved, I had to stick with a mirror that had a width of 24 inches max! The width also had to be at least 21 inches or it’d look too small for the vanity area. Let’s just say these restrictions excluded quite a number of mirrors that I really wanted for the room! Ah…c’est la vie!
Here’s a peek at the floral carved mirror that I ended up purchasing. I love the intricate carvings and the pattern works perfect with some of the other details I’m planning for this space!
Love these ideas? Pin it for later.
In closing, I’d like to thank American Standard for being a sponsor of my spring 2018 guest participation in the One Room Challenge! You’ll be hearing about our new toilet from American Standard very soon!

We just did paint in our bathroom this week too. I absolutely love how the little change makes the biggest difference. Its wild how lighting during the day vs night changes the whole vibe. Cannot wait to see what you do.

We are right there with you in the wall painting. We would much rather paint furniture than paint walls and the ceiling in our guest bathroom again LOL! Love your color choices and accessories!
Thanks so much, ladies! Look forward to seeing your progress update this week!
Teasing us with the sneak peaks of your accessories! Looks like it’s going to be one very pretty spa-like bathroom!
Thanks, Jessica! More peeks this week. Ha!
Painting bathrooms can be such a chore! There’s so much in the way that can’t be moved. Your paint looks perfect!
Finding that perfect piece to fit within size restrictions is the worst – it’s always SO hard. Lucky you finding a mirror that you love that will work in your space!
Oooooh I’m dying to see how it all turns out!
It is really starting to come together now. The colors are so pretty and perfect for that spa feeling.
The paint looks amazing! It’s all coming together – it will be such a relaxing space!
Excited to see that mirror!! Love the towels too!
LOVE all your new goodies for the space! Lovin the paint color, too. It’s so exciting to see your progress every week. Great job, Tee! ~~ Susie from The Chelsea Project
I love gray paint on walls and I may have a few spots here and there on my ceilings too, lol!! I can’t wait to see that mirror, I am having an awful time trying to find one I like too. It has to be a certain size to fit the space and I am having a heck of a time! I can’t wait to see next week!!
Thanks, Susanne! Yeah, it’s definitely no easy feat to find the perfect mirror along with the right size. Good luck with your search!
Looking great! I love the paint choices!
This room is so soothing and relaxing!
It’s funny… cutting in and trimming out is my favorite part of painting. Ha! It’s looking great 🙂
Thanks, Sarah! Ok, you’re gonna need to come over and do all the cutting the next time I need to repaint a room. LOL
That color is gorgeous! It’s funny how the smallest spaces take the longest time to paint!
Thanks, Emy! Yeah, you’d think a smaller room would equal less work 😉
The paint color is perfect for your space! Very hotel/spa like for sure.
Thanks, Monica!
