Hello my friends! We are starting to get moving around here and figuring out what’s next in our new to us house. I’m very grateful that our 12 year old home is in great condition, was move-in ready, and just waiting for us to put our stamp on it.
Getting motivated to change out so many things at least can wait until we decide we want to get to them and nothing is really calling out to us to rip it out immediately. In a house that’s nice, functional and newish, but everything isn’t pretty yet, we get to decide what we want to do next, not based on we just can’t stand this space one more moment. Everything in here is just fine, just not what we want to live with forever. It’s very much builder’s basic beige so to speak, so one space at a time, we’ll start to add our stamp and get things looking the way we want.
We have 3 bathrooms that are so boring and beige and these bathrooms will definitely get some love this year after we figure out what we really want to do in them. And we don’t have any of that completely figured out yet, so it’s fun to look at what other bloggers have done to spruce up their bathrooms. So, today I’ve got 50 bathroom updates for you to see from my fellow blogger friends. From $100 makeovers to way more expensive complete bathroom renovations, there’s something for everyone, so if you’re in the mood for bathroom remodeling this year, hopefully this will help you too! I couldn’t just share a few of them, there were so many styles shared with me that I can’t wait to share with you too.
Bathrooms are spaces that need to be functional, but there’s no reason not to make them beautiful as well. Treat those small powder rooms or bathrooms as little jewel boxes and have fun with them! I can’t wait to beautify our bathrooms.
Here’s what we’re working with in our downstairs bathroom and the other 2 look just like this one. Clean, functional, but totally uninspiring! That will be changing soon, I hope. This one may get a cosmetic makeover, keeping what we have but enhancing with paint and accessories. We will see what happens after we get going. I’d love to at least get a new tile floor in here (something much more snazzy) and paint that vanity (or maybe get a pretty new one) and get a new countertop/sink combo. This space won’t take much to update and add some pretty details.

Roeshel from DIY Show Off shares a beautiful makeover that’s very neutral and soothing. New vanity, flooring, lighting, and mirror makes a huge difference in this space.
Stefanie with Brooklyn Limestone helped a friend with this powder room makeover, with an industrial and farmhouse vibe. White shiplap walls and those trendy black and white concrete tiles makes a huge statement as well as the black hardware.
As much as I love these black and white concrete tiles, I don’t think I’d have the nerve to put them in one of my spaces, because they will get dated pretty fast, just my opinion. But don’t get me wrong! I think they are beautiful for now. If you like to live on the edge with your design styles, then go for it!
Lauren, from Blesser House opted for a mini-makeover in her kid’s/guest bath for now using mostly paint, lighting and a few new accessories to tide her over until a bigger remodel can be done. Again, the power of paint and freshening up a space with a few things is powerful. For just under $500, great budget makeover.
Here’s a fresh, modern makeover on a small master bath from H20Bungalow.
This small powder room from A Blissful Nest adds a lot of punch with board and batten and this impactful blue and white wallpaper. I’m thinking something like this for our downstairs bathroom might be what I want.

Dana from Bella Tucker has been really busy the last couple of years with some fabulous bathroom makeovers. Dana’s a friend of mine in Franklin, TN and I’ve actually stayed in this downstairs guestroom and used this guest bath, so it’s been fun to see this makeover! Her husband, Brooks, is a decorative painter and did all the painting on the walls. This is a very cool makeover utilizing new tile on the floor and fresh everything!

Amy from 11 Magnolia Lane did a makeover on her bathroom without gutting it all, but a few changes made a difference, like the 2 mirrors instead of one big ole’ mirror over the vanity. We plan to do two more decorative mirrors in our master bath eventually too. Makes a difference!
Another modern farmhouse renovation from Amy at My Life From Home, features more of the black and white concrete tile.

Modern farmhouse seems to be the hottest look going right now, but we’re not going in that direction, even though I like it. We’ll be going with classic and timeless as much as possible. It really gets hard these days to narrow down one style to stick with, so that’s why I love looking at all this inspiration in blogland. There are so many talented bloggers out there now and they are all doing amazing things!
Here’s a look at our own master bathroom renovation.
I hope you enjoyed this extensive post on bathroom renovations, from low budget to high-end. I get so many ideas when I get out and start looking at them all and I know we’ll figure out just what to do in our bathrooms as we move through our house.
Those were so fun to look at. They are all lovely. My favorite, aesthetically, not considering function, was the cottage style one with yellow wallpaper from The Heathered Nest and I am not a huge yellow fan. I just loved that down home comfy feel.
Cannot wait to see what you do with yours! I cannot believe how quickly you accomplish things–you are a wizard!
Great post Rhoda. So much variety. I’m in the concrete tile camp and love it! If you love something you should follow your heart. I agree with you some things will go out of style but along with certain tile is ship lap walls, brass colored fixtures, sliding barn doors, etc. And we live in a designer driven environment today. Just do what you love and not just because it is a trend and all will be happy 🙂
HI, Gwen, I agree we should all do what we want. Every style is represented now so there’s something for everyone. I’ve been around long enough to look ahead though and see what’s going to not stand the test of time, so I try to keep that in mind too as I make decisions. We definitely live in a designer driven world and now we get to see inside real life homes more than ever.
So much amazing inspiration here Rhoda!….I am getting ideas for my future “right-sized” home! Have a great week! Happy New Year!
They are all great, but Lauren, from Blesser House is definitely my favorite. Looks good with the beige tile floor too. Cant wait to see what you do. I know it will be beautiful.
Fun!!! I love working on home projects and three years ago when we were prepping the house to be sold, Charles and I took out a small wall between the commode/tub area and the vanity front area in our kids’ bathroom. We should have done it years before as it really opened up the area and the fact that there were two different ceiling heights really wasn’t a factor once it was all said and done ~ probably why the builder put up the ugly wall in the first place! Lol!
Have fun working on yours this year! The bathrooms you’ve shown here are beautiful!!! <3
Barb 🙂
Wow, this is a LOT to see. I tell myself I love serene *but* that pineapple wallpaper is adorable. Can’t wait to see what y’all do in your house.
I can’t believe you didn’t share On Sutton Place today…she’s part of this group and remodeled two bathrooms this past year
