Small Apartments: Meinhilde’s After Bathroom

We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.

In April 2013, I moved into my own apartment. Through luck and the help of family, I was able to get this small apartment in a house over 100 years old, renovated.

The Bathroom

First, have a gander at the before photo.

Now take a look at the after photos!

 

Another print I bought from The Wheat Field on Etsy.

 

Here’s what I did to transform this teeny-tiny space on a budget:

• All the walls were painted Simply White (Benjamin Moore)…
• I installed a mirrored medicine cabinet from Ikea over the sink…
• Added an under-sink cabinet, also from Ikea, with custom knobs and legs…
• Installed a new light fixture over the medicine cabinet…
• Switched the toilet paper holder with a stainless steel one from Umbra (a gift)…
• Replaced the towel rods and hooks on the back of the door…
• And attached a new soap dish⁄toothbrush holder from Ikea…
• Lastly, I added a shelf above the door to store extra towels and toilet paper, also from…Ikea….
• Then I accessorized it with a couple green bath mats, one from Target, the other from Bed Bath and Beyond…
• I sewed a curtain out of hedgehog fabric for the small window…
• And the piece de resistance, my Marimekko shower curtain!

You  may have not noticed, but the plants I have in there are fake. I tried keeping a few shade-loving tropical plants in the bathroom (so they’ll appreciate the humidity, right?), but they almost died on me. So in with the not-real, until I can figure out which plants like ultra low light!

Check back soon for photos of:
