One Day at a Time: Will you spruce up my bathroom Mom?

For the past few days I have been visiting my son on the West Coast. On my last visit I spruced up his bedroom and on this visit I was challenged to spruce up his bathroom. Keep in mind he lives in a rental, which must be taken into consideration when developing the design. My assignment, and I did choose to accept it, was as follows;

More masculine
Use black
No structural modifications to the room (no painting, etc)
Shoe string budget

After several trips to several thrift stores, Target, Walmart, Michael's, Home Depot, and lots of painting and gluing here it is...

I purchased the rug, towels, and curtains from Target. I like using window curtains for bathroom tubs because they are longer. I do this by using a tension rod and hanging it higher than the builder-grade shower curtain rod. I think it gives a richer feel.

Approximate cost of these items was $40. This was the splurge.

Since there were so many projects involved in this revamped bathroom I will post them separately. Check back soon for the following projects:

Thanks for visiting,

Thanks Linda. I love them too. Makes the makeover that much more fun when you have budget restraints. Its such a fun challenge. Stay tuned over the next three days to see how I did the three projects. Just wrapping up the blog post now.

Thanks D, He was. I did it while he was at work and posted that I had a surprise for him on FB so he could not wait to get home and find out what it was. Thanks for visiting.

Thank you Wanda. I have used drapes for shower curtains for awhile now. Can't remember where I got the idea but it works well and Target always has inexpensive panels that can be used. Thanks for visiting.
