We wanted to continue the Native American theme (from our main bedroom found here) so I used tons of patterns and textures that worked alongside that theme as we remodeled and decorated.
Here’s what we did…
We fixed the vanity.
We achieved the previous countertop and sold it for $30.00 on the classifieds. Then I found a black granite countertop remnant for $50 and paid another $50 to possess the holes cut for the sink and tap. Net: $70.00.
We paid a lover to assist with the plumping. Plumbing + parts were $65.00.
I bought the new waterfall faucet and bowl sink at a reduction store for $75.00.
We bought the backsplash, cut, and installed ourselves: $45.00.

The framed native pot was free from my grandmother.
I bought the vase and faux flower for $5.00 at a reduction barn.
We bought the Italian tile off classifieds and cut and installed it ourselves. it had been a tremendous $20.00. We got a steal because she gave us the additional tile she had from a project of theirs.
Grout and other supplies: $65.00.

We sold the restroom within the bathroom and mentioned an existing one from the downstairs bathroom:
The shower rod was found on Amazon: $11.00.
Shower curtain, curtain rings, rug, face towel, soap dispenser: $80.00 (after use of coupons at JCPenny).
Alaskan Native art was bought while we were in Alaska. it had been a pack of cards that I framed: $27.00.

The paint was from Sherwin Williams (with coupon): $30.00.
A small step ashcan with a lid is found on Amazon: $20.00.
Basket holding towels were found at a thrift store: $1.00.
Valance was simply a couple of yards of cloth draped over the window: $7.00 with coupon at JoAnn’s.
Tiebacks doubled as valance holders: $2.00 at a yard sale.
The shower’s title remains nice, the bathtub was in great condition, and therefore the lighting worked well so we didn’t need to replace those items.
Total: $527.00.
