Painted Shower Tile

Hi, I'm Amber Oliver! I hope if you enjoy this project you'll also stop by my blog!Tearing and replacing the tile in your shower is expensive, difficult, and time consuming!

If you can read and follow directions, you can transform your dated tile shower with a little bit of PAINT!I teamed up with a Hometalker in my community who had wanted to transform her bathroom for a while but needed a bit of help and guidance.

A Brilliant Solution for Small Bathrooms With No Counter Space!

We just moved into a new apartment & our bathroom is tiny and oddly laid out with no counter space & no vanity... We had some existing shelves hung - but as you can see (even with baskets) it just wasn't enough storage....

Bathroom Blanket Ladder

We are currently renting the house we live in. That presents some designing and decorating challenges. We needed a little more storage in our bathrooms and found a way to add some design and decor as well as a little bit of storage. Come take a peek at how we customized a blanket ladder to fit over the toilet.

Wicker Bike Basket Storage Hack

Lacking towel storage in the bathroom?Here’s an easy, super quick hack to make your bathroom practical and stylish!There wasn’t a great deal of storage in my bathroom for towels, and I’d been looking for an alternative for a little while.One day whilst out shopping at (Kmart) I spotted a cute wicker type basket sitting on its own in a trolley. I read the label and discovered it was a wicker bike basket. It had a great look about it , particularly the leather look buckle straps that were attached. I didn’t buy it, but I kept thinking about it and wanted to use it in someway.Then I had a light bulb moment! I had recently purchased a bamboo decorative ladder from Kmart and had been intending to use it.

Floor Stenciling Makeover

From what I’ve researched, floor stenciling is a much cheaper and easier route to switch up floor tile vs removing and reinstalling. I was a little nervous to tackle this, but I decided to try my hand at it and am so excited to show you the results!!

Get Instant Shower Storage for Less Than $20

Need more shower storage? I definitely did! There's nothing worse than trying to get clean while bottles and soap containers are falling on your toes. Instead of adding shelves or making a more permenant (read: expesnvie) change to my shower, I came up with a simple solution! I used a tension rod, shower baskets, and some curtain hooks to create more shower space. It's simple and space saving.

How to Create a Gorgeous Gem Stone Accent Wall

Several months ago, I created a backsplash in my bathroom using gems from the Dollar Store. After that, a lot of people requested that I continue the mosaic on the rest of the wall. While I didn't want the entire wall covered with the gems, this is what I did.

Dollar Store Dollar Tree DIY Backsplash: Budget Friendly Bathroom Reno

If you’re a regular Dollar Store/Dollar Tree shopper (and aren’t most DIYers?), you know about those little glass gems in the floral aisle. Their purpose is to hold your flower stems straight in a vase but there’s so much more you can do with them.

Faux Stone Tub (Bathroom Makeover Phase 2)

I must admit that I was SUPER intimidated to do this project. I've seen it around online and had to try it, but I felt like I was going to royally mess it up. With some logistical help and elbow grease from my dear sweet husband, we got this project done, and it wasn't near as painful as I thought it would be. I feel like this tub makeover screams,"Welcome to the spa! (minus my horrible floor--haha!)"We want to help you DIY, so some of the materials in this post are linked to sellers.

Can I paint my gold tone shower door metal?

/> Jean

We are looking to sell our home, built in 1996 when gold tone was hot. Now, we are told that our shower door and faucets are outdated. I hate to spend money on new doors and fixtures since they are still working fine, and we won't recoup the money at the sale. Can they be painted?

How to cover the AWFUL cultured marble counter tops from the 70-80's?

/> Melissa

We bought an 80's house with UGLY cultured marble counter tops that have the molded sink in the bathrooms - they are scratched and stained and have ugly color combinations. How can we cover/paint these - we are on a tight budget with other home reno's going on. I have looked into those repaint "kits" but those seem more for laminate counter tops and not the cultured marble. ANY suggestions would be appreciated. Just don't have in the budget to completely replace these right now. I have considered removing them and replacing with wood and inexpensive sinks but wasn't sure how this would hold up in a bathroom.
