Budget Kids Bathroom Reno

We did three big home projects in 2020: the backyard, the kids’ bathroom, and our front room. Today, nearly a year later, I’m finally revealing the kids’ bathroom project! I have such a hard time sitting down to write things out before we move onto the next project. Nevertheless, we finally had a sunny day and took photos of our finished project so that I could make this post!

This was a budget makeover for a builder-grade bathroom — everything was cosmetic, nothing structural — and we did it all ourselves! I was inspired by @jaci.daily on instagram for this one. I saw her mirrors and hexagon tile, and knew it was exactly what I wanted for our kids bathroom facelift. Since it is such a small space, I could really focus in on the details and use hexagons as a subtle theme throughout.

After

For this budget bathroom update, we started with painting the cabinets Sherwin Williams Tricorn Black, and the walls Sherwin Williams Pure White. We did this project on such a whim that I didn’t even take a photo before we removed the old mirror and faucets!

This was a project of many firsts. Our first tile project, first flooring install, and first bit of plumbing for Garret. We used Calacatta Oro Hexagon Mosaic tile on the back wall, with a dark charcoal grout. Garret installed the new vinyl planks over our existing vinyl. The matte black faucets are super affordable, from Lowe’s.

My favorite part of this bathroom is the wood hexagon accent wall. I had this idea in my head, made it with tape on the wall, and Garret brought it to life. He made a template and cut strips of pine to make the wood hexagons. Then he nailed them to the wall with a pin nailer, then spray painted everything Pure White. He’s amazing!

I just love all the details in this bathroom. We replaced the “boob light” with a gorgeous flush mount from PB Teen. I used the Hex cabinet hardware from CB2 on all the cabinets. I ordered a large hexagon mirror from Target online. I found hexagon stools for the kids at HomeGoods and spray painted them black. Everything just pulled together so nicely!

So there you have it! Our kids’ bathroom renovation is complete. I hope this inspires you to DIY something in your home this year! I’ll link everything I can in LTK below.
