Small Bathroom Makeover

I am finally home from my crazy fun trip to Texas!  I went to help my sister fix up her new house.  They just moved there from New Jersey, and they went from a very small home to a much bigger one!  So they are still working on trying to furnish it, but we did manage to update and beautify certain areas that were needing it!  We were up past midnight most nights, but it was so fun, I loved every minute of it!  We even squeezed in a few days to shop and decorate!  

I wasn't quite sure how to go about blogging all of our projects, but finally decided to just do it by room. 

 So first I'm going to show your the little powder bathroom we fixed up!

This is how it looked when I left:

 My sister wanted a beachy theme for this space...pretty cute, right?!

Before I got there, I had my sister paint the walls in Valspar's Jekyll Grand Dining Sea Mist:

This is how it looked when I first saw it:

So the first thing we did was paint the cabinets white, and distress them:

This alone made such a difference in this bathroom!  

We also painted the existing mirror.  My sister HATED it and wanted to replace it, but because I'm so cheap, I suggested we paint it to see if it would change her opinion of it....and it did!  

We decorated using some antique glass bottles and fun seashells.

While my sister lived in New Jersey, they found this beautiful horseshoe crab that was fully intact.  She wanted to incorporate it somehow, so we got a basic white frame from Michaels, backed it with muslin, and attached the crab with hot glue: 

I also made her this fun pallet sign (my tutorial found here):

I absolutely loved how this bathroom turned out!!
