Our guest bath was the room I closed the door on when people came over. One weekend and a few hundred dollars later, it is the room I want them to see.

How I did it
Paint
Bathrooms need a satin or semi-gloss finish so they wipe clean and handle steam.
Swap the faucet
Turn off the water under the sink first. A basin wrench makes this a 30 minute job.
Hang the mirror
Find the stud, or use heavy-duty anchors rated for twice the mirror's weight.
Style it
Baskets for extra toilet paper, a plant that likes humidity, and real towels.
What I'd do differently
- Take the faucet box to the store with you. Matching the hole spacing saves a second trip.
