Our house is old. Like, built in the 1950's old. So needless to say, there are some parts of this house that have likely NEVER been updated. Our hall bath was one of those places. We have been dying to remodel it, but weren't looking to spend $5,000+ to do so. So, we found a way to make it LOOK as if we completely remodeled it, but the only thing we tiled was the floor. The rest of the tile was "painted" with a substance called amorpoxy. It's basically a super heavy-duty paint that won't mold and lasts for 10+ years. And it is MUCH cheaper than re-tiling, of course!
Here are the BEFORE pics of the bathroom:
Peach "vintage" tile on floor, countertop, shower walls, and wainscot
White cabinets, old mirror & light fixture
Disgusting, stained original tub!
Cannot believe we even used this tub! Pouring straight bleach on it wouldn't even budge these stains.
And now the AFTER pics:
All tile was painted white
Painted cabinets a taupe color, new mirror & light fixture
Looks like a new tub, but it was just painted!
Another view of shower, and new blue/grey paint color on the walls
New tile looks like carrara marble
We are loving our "new" bathroom!
Looks great! Y'all are so handy... need you to come over to my house and do a few things :)
ReplyDeleteI AM SO IMPRESSED!!! Looks like a totally different bathroom! You are so clever and talented :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks great!! I am curious as to how well painting the tile in the bathroom held up? I would like to do something similar in my bathroom but I am scared it will flake off.
ReplyDeleteMan! That tub looks like mine with tile & fixtures, except for shower head which mine is smaller & attached to the title wall!
