The guest bath is finished! Actually we still have caulking to do... but it's 99% finished!
When we first moved here we had the opportunity to look at a neighboring townhouse that was for sale (great inspiration!). The biggest difference between this house and that one was actually color and light. Everything was white and bright in the for sale unit, which made it seem fresh and modern. The most transformation comes when we lighten the color and put in brighter lights. So for this bathroom the challenge was to de-pink the space! Since the tile is all pink (and we were't going to remove it), we decided to go WHITE white for everything else and shiny chrome fixtures. I think it worked!
Here's before:
The ceiling, cabinet, and doors were all pink.
This bathroom was certainly more challenging than the other two. There was the leaky faucet to start, the fan install, the huge wall repairs where the ceramic towel bar and toilet paper holder came out, and the really difficult wallpaper! This bathroom was actually re-done at some point, and this pink wallpaper did not want to come off easy. Perhaps the glue in 50 year old wallpaper is more deteriorated? Also, it was two layers thick in places...

The beautiful faucet! I can't get over the difference it makes.
This is now my favorite bathroom :)
it looks so good!! I love it, I can't wait to see it in person - I'm so impressed! We just replaced our faucet too, and it's similar to your new one :) And we painted the living room - bright white for now!
