We should really call this post Half Bath Makeover: Part 1, because it's really not quite finished. But it's a start & at least it looks way better than it did before!
Here's a quick rundown of what we did in this room:
-replaced
old faucet with brushed nickel faucet
-switched
out the light fixture
-removed the towel bar & added a towel ring instead
-painted
-removed the towel bar & added a towel ring instead
-painted
-made
some DIY art
-added
some accessories
Here is the before shot we took while we were taking our first tour of the house (sorry for the quality- had we known we would be blogging about our home projects we would have made more of an effort):

First thing we did was change out the faucet:
Then we painted the walls a neutral gray tone - Smooth Stone by Glidden:
As we admired the new paint color, we realized that we needed to get rid of that towel bar. It seemed too big & it was awkwardly placed. We thought some art would look much better.
Of course, we only realized that after we painted. So we took the towel bar down, patched the holes, & repainted:
We replaced the towel bar with a more appropriately sized brushed nickel towel ring from Home Goods:
We also swapped out the existing bronze light fixture for a fixture that was more our style. We found a couple of options @ Lowe's that we liked:
We ended going with option 1 because it filled up more of the vertical wall space & also because we simply liked the look of it more than option 2:
Next came the art - we took 3 peacock feathers from Hobby Lobby & framed them in white frames from Target:
We added a white tray from IKEA to corral any items on the back of the toilet.
For now we have some coral & flowers:
Update: We've since changed out the mirror & artwork. See more on that here:
We definitely want to add/tweak some things in the future - but for now we are just glad we can check one more room off the "to-do" list. Best. Feeling. Ever.
