This vanity refresh is a favorite, because it is mine! Hi, Melissa here!

This vanity is located in our master bathroom, and after recently moving in, my husband and I were putting effort into other areas of the house, and didn’t want to do anything grand to the master bathroom quite yet. However, I wanted a refresh that made the master bathroom feel a little more like an oasis instead of a tired space.

The first step was to update the faucet, cabinet hardware, and towel rods. The previous homeowner had a silver finish in this bathroom, but I wanted to glam up the space with some mixed metals. The faucet was switched out for a luxurious champagne gold and matte black combo faucet. The cabinet hardware was swapped for a matte black linear pull on the drawers and a funky gold and black decorative pulls on the doors. The towel rods were all swapped for a matte black as well!

Although this is a master bathroom - it is quite tiny. We were struggling to store their necessities in an organized way. We added a towel rack for additional storage above the mirror, and some vertical shelving for smaller items to keep the prime real-estate of the counter more clear. Besides a clutter-free counter, a key to forming an oasis is to style and decorate the space with the end goal in mind. This included adding some wall art, candle, and other decorative items to help add personality in the space.

One of our favorite additions to this master bathroom is the rug in front of the vanity from Boutique Rugs. This is the Rudo Beige area rug to tie in the existing tan/beige tones of the master bathroom while pulling in some greys and other tones that we were incorporating into the rest of the home. It is a great piece to connect the master bathroom to the rest of the house while we wait to take on the large renovation project, AND the rug is machine washable!

A few other notes include that no major painting was completed for this project. We found a small can of paint that matched the existing color and used that to touch up some scratches and patch where the old towel rods were hung, but no major painting was needed - a key element for a quick refresh in my opinion!!

Now I walk into the master bathroom and feel more at home, in a house that is slowly but surely becoming our own.
