hi guys welcome back to my channel as you can see from the title I'm doing a
little bathroom refresh and our main bathroom my husband's bathroom so
nothing dramatic just some fun updates and I'm thinking about doing an accent
wall I haven't decided yet what I'm gonna do playing around with that still
so really excited to kind of do something different but nothing like
crazy crazy but I don't know maybe it will be crazy who knows because we're still in a
pandemic at the point of me filming this video and there are no stores open so so
most of the items are gonna be from online shopping I'll be purchasing so
I'm a lot of Amazon probably, Target and then I'll probably pick up a
few things here at my local Walmart so that's pretty much where the majority
will come from so I'll be sure to share all the items I get and where
I got them from if you have questions you can of course let me know so I'm
just gonna do like a little before and after so I'll kind of show you where is
that now and then show you a few things on the way and then you can see the
reveal at the end so I hope you guys enjoy this and let's get started on this
a bathroom at refresh alright so I'm gonna give you a little tour of the bathroom
that we're gonna just kind of freshen up this is my hubby's bathroom and you know
it's pretty simple nothing crazy going on we have a statue right here named
Ozzy just didn't know if you knew that but we do oh he's moving but yeah
I'm just gonna do a little freshen up with some decor and done with this sign
new mirror light fixture and then just kind of you have new probably new shower
curtain new rug just kind of make it cute in here so that's what I'll be up
too in here
all right we are on our way to Wal-Mart I need to get some items for the bathroom
thinking plants, some shower hooks for the new curtain yeah just like items like that
so you can come shopping with me at Wal-Mart
I can't decide which one you guys this one has a goal to frame which I love and
then this one has like a light wood hmm the haul at Walmart wasn't too bad so I
ended up getting two of these like long trailing plans I'm gonna put some plants
in there and then I found this really cute fern so I got this base for that
guys I love that and then this guy I'm in a paint white so that will be a fun
little project got these little towels those are really cute design they match
the rug that I bought on Amazon and then this is the frame I ended up going with
we'll see once we get everything together I'll see if that's the frame I
want so yeah overall not too bad we'll see Oh everything kind of comes
together good morning so I decided I'm gonna do the herringbone print paint
wall and on the back wall of the bathroom I really loved that pattern and
I thought that would be really fun for this bathroom so right now I'm just
getting everything like measured out and then taping everything and then I'm
gonna be painting and yeah I'm really excited because I've not done any
herringbone of type styles in my house yet so this will be kind of a nice
different theme in here so let's get started
all right you guys I just wanted to give you a kind of an idea of how I did my
measurements cuz it's it's not that hard I think the hardest part is getting
everything measured and taped off so making sure you have behind so straight
um so what I did is I just took this wall divided it in half and from the
center and then I put a line down the center and then I just went from Center
to this wall did a line centered it same with like this wall to the center put a
Center and then I did one more strip down between these two centers it's
pretty even I didn't measure like in between there off like maybe a quarter
and Shh away which I really don't care about those types of things so no one's
really gonna notice the quarter inch or not there's the lines they're all taped
now the fun part I get to do all the diagonal stripes fun fun
alright so now I'm starting the herringbone diagnosed stripes I just did
one section cuz I just wanted to make sure that I liked the measurement that I
did in between I didn't want too much right I'm onto a little cuz it's a small
wall so I'm doing the herringbone eight inches apart so that's the width between
each of those so I gotta get this until your wall diagonals
all right we got it all taped off looks so cool I mean besides the blue
obviously I'm really excited to paint this um so around the toilet was a
little tricky but I want to show you what I ended up doing so I just went to
got a piece of paper and lined it up with you know the width of this and then
I just used that as my template to guide me all along the toilet because that was
like really difficult yeah I'm excited all right time to paint so I'm doing
drumroll please wait what a shocker no white no this is actually the primer
I'm going to do first do one coat of primer then I should just be able to get
away with just doing one a coat of paint yay let the fun begin
this is the primer I use and have always used and it's awesome so I just stick
with what I like that's it
primer is done now it's dried and we are ready to paint shocking and painting it
white it's specifically delicate white it is what I'm painting
okay so I'm just waiting for the paint to dry in the bathroom and while I have
all my pink holes on and I'm already full of pain I think hurt this is a good
time to paint at this cute little pot don't you just love these little guys
they're the cutest when they come in all sorts of different sizes so what I'm
gonna do is I'm gonna use my exterior paint that I used outside on all those
projects that I talked about in my one week out blog that I love this paint so
much because it's one coat and it truly is so we'll see if it's one coat on pots
as well as I'm painting this I just want to show you how I'm doing so this brush
is like an old brush and like the bristles are kind of separated but I
like that because it's kind of giving this some texture so I think I'm just
gonna kind of roll with that that's really cool
there they are easy-peasy now I love how the texture came out on this with my
brush can you kind of see that it kind of like peeks through the like
terracotta color so I love that I'm gonna leave it but doesn't started
painting it I'm like yep I love having that texture and then I only went half
way down inside the pot I just wanted to make sure that wherever we put the soil
up to that that was covered with white as well so yeah I just went half way
down because most that's gonna be soil covered anyways so let's get this taped
down and see how the wall looks
all right guys the bathroom is finished I love love love everything about it I
can't wait to show you so here we go ready here it is why I love it so much
so I ended up making a new towel rack here just had some scrap pine and then I
did the early-american stain on it and then I added these new hooks to it I
love these hooks the hooks are from Amazon this wall so you guys it really
wasn't that hard I'm so surprised and was very impressed on how it all turned
out it turned out so cool I love it so much and all I did was paint on top of
the paint that was already in here and yeah it's pretty much perfect I ended up
putting some greenery in here so I have this little plant stand the plants now
is actually from Walmart I found that I thought it was really cute and then I
got that terracotta base that I painted and at that plant to it this is a really
cool piece art so kind of different from like what I thought I'd be doing in here
but I just love this simple classic design I went ahead and got this from
Etsy so I love getting prints from Etsy and this is one of them you can just
download them and then get them printed as you want so that's what I did here
and the frame I got from Walmart another favorite of mine is this round black
mirror this was an Amazon vine and it has a really wide metal frame on it and
I just love how it looks in here and then the lights are also from Amazon I
got the gold with the black and then like the bubble vases which I love that
style so I wanted to actually have the lights facing down but the mirror was
way too wide and it didn't fit so we had to flip them up but actually I don't
mind it it looks really cool so I'm fine how that turned out but I'm loving like
the gold styled right now and that's why I ended up getting this gold soap
dispenser this is from Target love how that looks and then I got some matching
Kleenex box holder which has the gold trim on the
bottom that's from Amazon and then this fern I got from Walmart and then this
little vase has like gold holder with the black base so love how that looks
and then the little towels are from Walmart I was actually really impressed
with these towels they're really cute and they work perfect in here and then
we just did a matching towel holder right here too to match the one along
the shower over there this rug you guys oh my gosh I loved love loved this rug
this is another Amazon one such a pretty design and then the shower curtain is
from Target and I want really simple in here since
we have the accent well I didn't want to do anything crazy with a shower curtain
so it's a really pretty simple design on here and then on the bottom it has this
pretty detail on it so love how that kind of matches like
the rugs so one thing I want to mention about the shower curtains so when I buy
new shower curtains I actually always buy two curtains because I love the
ruffle effect of shower curtains so if you just buy one it's like just straight
but I'd rather have it gathered and ruffled together so that's why I always
buy two and then the middle seam I don't even know where it is because you can't
see it because it's ruffle together over here I just take pins and I pin it
together and then that's just like part of one of the ruffles and then you can't
even tell but yeah I love the ruffle effect of having two shower curtains so
that's why I always buy two of the same one so I can make it look ruffled so
there you guys have it there is my DIY herringbone nice little fresh update in
here I just love how it turned out everything looks so put together and I
love the design alright guys they are nice I hope you enjoy this DIY bachelor
refresh with the herringbone Alexson wall not hard to do like I said
it was actually really easy you just have to get it all measured out so so
much fun I hope you like this if you like these types of videos the DIY type
