unit b bathroom refresh

Recently, unit b, the space where I have my painting studio, underwent a pretty big transformation. We were gearing up for our launch party and were pretty pumped to get the place looking awesome. We redid the floors, painted, added new baseboards, chalkboard painted and spruced up each of our offices. One of the major issues with the space was the dingy/scary bathroom. I took the task on of making it less 'scary' and wanted to refresh it on a tight budget. Here's what the bathroom looked like before I started:

I cleaned, sanded, primed, and painted the existing countertop with a melamine paint and finished off with a semi-gloss varnish. I found instructions here on how to do it.

I found two gallons of paint, green and off-white, at home depot in their reject paint section for $9/gallon, instead of the regular $40. I replaced the sink with one I found at ReStore for $15 and found a brushed nickel facet on sale at home depot for $30. A friend of mine helped out with the plumbing – thanks S! After everything was painted, installed and caulked, I found a few inexpensive pieces of art to add colour and accessorized with a few things I picked up at Superstore. I'm a big beliver that you don't have to spend a lot of money to make something look good.
