Young House Love » Reader Redesigns » A Neutral Bathroom With Classic Basketweave Tile

A Neutral Bathroom With Classic Basketweave Tile

This unbelievable bathroom makeover sent in by Kathleen is a true demonstration that one major change (the floor tile) along with a lot of little changes (painting the walls and the mirror) can really result in an entirely new space.

Here’s the eek-tasatic before:

Bathroombefore

And the gloriously fabulous after:

Bathroomafter

How great is that? Of course we love that basketweave tile (as we have some of our own). And isn’t it amazing how much sophistication the subdued wall color and trim tones add?

Nice work, Kathleen!

      Bahaha! Oh the days of wallpaper border. My parents house had it in almost EVERY room growing up. Glad to be rid of that:)

    Kathleen, that looks awesome! You should be so proud of yourself. Where did you get the floor tile? I’d like to do something like that in our bathrooms.

    Oh my goodness! What a great change! It should be required for all persons who submit their updates/remodels/etc to list where they bought everything. :) The train rack is gorgeous!

    Totally agree with Meghan. I’ve been very impressed with Kathleen-I live vicariously through her with her blog and Braid adventures:)
