It’s week 6 of the One Room Challenge and this is the reveal of my kids-guest bathroom makeover. 
Hey friends! I am so excited because today is the big reveal of my first ORC Challenge. It’s time for my finished kids-guest bathroom reveal! In case you missed it, I am participating in the One Room Challenge for the first time, and I am renovating our kids-guest bathroom. I had 6 weeks to complete the room, and I am so happy to say stick a fork in it, because I’m done! It came down to the wire because my rug actually didn’t come in by the time I was to photograph the finished room. So most of these pictures were taken without it. However, the rug arrived yesterday, and so I did snap a few photographs of the rug in the room. If you are new to my blog, welcome! I hope you will stay awhile and have a look around! If you aren’t familiar with the ORC, it is a widely anticipated two time per year event where 20 featured design bloggers transform a space and document it once per week for 6 weeks. In addition, everyone with a blog is invited to join the shenanigans and be a guest participant by linking up their own room transformations each week. Today was the big reveal for the 20 designers, and I have to say WOW! If you haven’t checked them out, you really must! Amazing!
If this is your first time catching an ORC post of mine, you can catch the first five weeks here, here, here, here, and here.
I am just over the moon that this kids-guest bathroom is finished, and so happy that I participated in this challenge, because I would have never finished it so fast if not for the motivation of this looming deadline. I can’t wait to share it with you! There are about a bazillion pictures for you all today because I just can’t stop! Today I just want to share all of the pretty after photos with you, and then I have a few posts planned for very soon so that I can share some of the details and tutorials for different projects I completed in this space. This bathroom serves as our guest bath and the bathroom that our daughter and youngest son share. I really wanted it to be special and unique, and I believe I achieved that.
I wanted this room to feel like it fit in with the rest of our house, and like it belongs to us. And it hadn’t really been touched at all since we moved in, so it is a huge transformation. Here are a few pictures of the before space, and then we will move on to the after pictures. This room was a big challenge for me to photograph for two reasons. It is a small space, and there is no natural light, so I did the best I could to capture it for you today. But I so wish you could just come on over and see it in person because it really is better that way! Enjoy!
Now let’s see all of the beautiful after photos! My design style is what I call polished casual, and I feel like this room completely captures that for me. There is somewhat of a rustic vibe, but there is a bit of bling and a bit of modern, and mixed metals. And also a bit of whimsy and quirkiness. Are you ready for the kids-guest bathroom reveal? Let’s go! There will be a source list at the bottom of this post.
Kids-Guest Bathroom Makeover
I have to say one of my favorite elements in this room is the three mismatched shelves you see here. They are what gives this room the personality I so wanted it to have. I bought the top two shelves and DIY’d the one on bottom. There will be a full tutorial on that coming soon! The mirror over the sink was a thrift store find that I gave a special paint treatment to and will also be sharing soon.
This modern ball clock was sent to me for review, and I received it last week and thought it was perfect in the room! I love the colorful, modern touch it adds to the space. It is hanging above a vintage mirror that I found over the summer at an antique booth, and I like it it in this spot because it helps bounce some light around the room. I also love the patina on the mirror. The back edge was particle board, so I painted that with black chalk paint and I think it is the perfect finishing touch to this mirror.
You can find other really cool items from The Regency Shop where this clock came from here, here, and here.
As I mentioned above, I wanted this space to be a little bit quirky and whimsical, and so I added this decal on the bathtub that says get naked. I keep this shower curtain closed, so it is a funny little surprise that pops out at you when you open it. Plus, it made my 9 year old son laugh and laugh. and this is really his bathroom, so that was a plus!
For those of you who love a good list, this is what we completed in the room:
Replaced toilet
Painted vainty
Replaced sink and counter
Installed new faucet
Installed all new fixtures
Replaced light over mirror
Replaced mirror (painted mirror frame)
Replaced shower head
Installed Airstone on walls
Installed trim over Airstone
Painted walls and trim
Installed shelves over toilet
DIY the shelf on bottom
Added new basket and towels
Added decal to bathtub
Refreshed grout with Grout Renew
Installed new shower curtain rod
Hung new shower curtain and hooks
Replaced hooks on back of door
Added new art and accessories
DIY caddy on back of toilet
And that is a wrap for my first One Room Challenge! Now, momma needs a break. I don’t have any more projects planned until after Christmas, other than to decorate for Christmas. Also, my husband just might divorce me if I take anything else on any time soon, ha! But I do want to acknowledge that he helped me with so many little things during this renovation. He doesn’t really enjoy DIY and home decor the way I do (he would have left this room as is for the rest of his life and been fine with it). But he always is there to offer me a helping hand when I need it. And of course he is always happy with the end results and the improvements to our home, he just doesn’t enjoy the process. So, what do you think of the kids-guest bathroom reveal? I keep finding myself walking in there to take a peek, I am in love! I would love for you to let me know what you think in the comments, I love your comments and read every single one! I hope you enjoyed my ORC reveal today, have a great day and I hope you get a day off to celebrate Veteran’s Day, I am so glad I do!

The bathroom looks lovely, however, it looks cluttered with mismatched decor and not very functional for two children. I do really like the Airstone, but, as your daughter grows up, she may decide to use hairspray and that will be impossible to clean off of Airstone, plus, let’s just forget the hairspray for now, how do you keep the Airstone clean?
Wow! I wonder why you would take the time out of your busy life to leave a nasty comment on any person’s blog? It baffles me because if I don’t have something nice to say I scroll right on through. My daughter is not a child. She was a college student at the time and was 19 years old and only home on the weekends. Plus, she doesn’t get ready in the bathroom, she has an area in her bedroom where she does that. The Airstone is not difficult to clean, it is no different than any other stone in any other home, and lots of people have stone. I also have it on my fireplace. It baffles me how you think this room is not functional because my kids seem to have no problems functioning in it. And I love the way it is decorated. That is the beauty of decorating. It’s my house and I can decorate how I like. You can decorate how you like in your house, so you should go do that.
I agree with you!!! You are a great decorater!!! You have a lot of style and courage to undertake such a huge make over. So, keep up the good work and don’t worry about people who think they are perfect!! I am almost 70 yrs.old!!! I was taught, if you can’t say something nice, keep my ___ mouth shut. Thank you for listening. The lord loves everyone and especially you!!!
You are sooo sweet Rosetta! I don’t get a lot of negativity around here, so it is shocking when it happens. Thanks for reading this post!
That’s what I was taught also. If you can’t say anthing nice, don’t say anything at all. More people need to follow that advice in today’s society.
Very nice
Thanks so much!

It’s very pretty. One question though just out of curiosity is Why did you buy a new mirror for over the sink instead of just frame what you had? I have a mirror much like the before picture but I’m thinking of trying to frame it. I love the colors you chose and the antique looking faucet, light fixture. The decal made me laugh too.
Hi Carol! I thought about framing the one I had, but honsetly, that is a project that I have never taken on. It intimidates me for some reason because I don’t know how to account for the little plastic holders that stick out that hold the mirror to the wall. So for me it was easy to change the mirror completely because I had this mirror already. All I did was paint it. Thanks so much for stopping by!
As a designer I look at 100s of photos daily. Some I like, some I don’t, but why oh why must some folks rain on Others? The “dark clouders” don’t have to live with it, it didn’t cost them to look, so what’s the point of being negative or Mean? Your makeover gave me several ideas for a downstairs bath-love the Airstone as wainscoting! Be true to your own style and it will show through. As an aside, you must have a very loving husband and have built your relationship on a solid foundation of trust….they’re probably jealous of that also……so, keep doing what makes you Happy!
Sue, you are so sweet! Thanks so much for those very kind words! One thing I strive to do on this blog is to stay true to myself and my budget and style. It is so easy to fall prey to mimicking what everyone else does, and I really try not to do that. And yes, I do have a wonderful husband, he is the best there is, so thank you so much!
My bathroom is almost identical in size to yours and I’ve been considering options for updating it. Unfortunately, I am not creative so your ideas provide me with lots of possible options! Thank you for posting this lovely makeover!
Thanks so much Betty, glad I helped inspire you!
Looks awesome.
Looks awesome. Job well done .
Thanks a million!

I prefer the cabinet over the toilet instead of shelves. I like to put some things out of sight. You did a lovely job, and I can tell you put a great deal of thought into redoing the bath. And I don’t see a medicine cabinet. Where do you put things. I know you have a lot under the sink but where do you store your personal items, like dental floss, tweezers, deodorants and other things that people just have and want to keep out of site so the room doesn’t look cluttered. With so much stuff exposed, all has to be dusted and kept neat – extra work for someone, probably you.
There are two drawer under the sink, and a cabinet. One drawer goes to each kid and that is where they keep their toothpaste, deoderant, etc. My daughter has a makeup table in her bedroom, so really all she does in there is shower. My son is only 9 and is a boy, so really all he has is toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, a comb, and some hair gel. He has more than enough space in his drawer. There is a linen closet right outside of this bathroom in the hallway, so that is where I keep cleaning supplies, etc. My daughter is 21 and getting ready to graduate college and move out for good, so this is soon to belong to just my son. Thanks so much for stopping by and for your thoughtful comment!
Thank you for some much needed inspiration as I am in the process of redoing both guest and master bathrooms on a frugal budget. The New cabinets were installed today! Yay!
My problem is I don’t know what my “style” or “theme” is going to be! I have searched Pinterest, HGTV, and too many other web sites for a “style” to jump out and speak to me….to no avail! Really, just confusing me more!! It has to be perfect! This is a first redo, and Probably will be the last knowing my husband! I’m so afraid to make the wrong decision I won’t make any decision!
Long story short, I think you hit it…..my style is just that….. mine! And that’s ok! Not having to fit into someone else’s theme. As you pointed out, it’s all about what I like! And not everyone will agree with or like it…. but that’s ok! I’m going to get busy and commit my style choices! Which by the way will include a few of your inspiration pieces! I loved your bathroom! Thanks again!
Hi Lee Ann! You have no idea how much your words have inspired me today! I’m just a small time blogger, and knowing that something I said or wrote or did inspired someone else makes me so happy! In my experience if I just try to stick with what I love it always just seems to go together. At least in my opinion it does. And no one else has to live in your bathroom but you, so you get in that bathroom and do YOU! And you are gonna love it!
I love the stone on the walls ! How do you cut these and apply to the wall ? Do they need grouting ?
I love the framed mirror vs the builder quality plate mirror … my mirror is glued to the wall . How can I get it off ?
Thanks
Hi Darlene! These are cut using a hacksaw. It was easy enough that I was able to do it myself. No, they do not need grouted. You can find a tutorial for installing the AirStone here: https://sweetparrishplace.com/diy-fireplace-surround-using-airstone/
My mirror was not glued to the wall, it was held to the wall with little plastic clips, so I’m not sure how you would remove it if it is glued. I guess you could pry it off but it would probably break in the process.
Love the color, shelves up about, and the “Get Naked” decal your funny!… Great job
Thanks so much!
Lovely makeover, I love the wooden sign which says when I wake up give me Jesus.
Looks awesome! it inspires me to revamp my rooms!
I am so glad you were inspired by this! I loved the way this room turned out. We no longer live in that house, miss it!
