A Simple Bathroom Makeover That Packs A Punch
You know that feeling when you walk into a room and it just doesn’t feel quite right anymore? That’s how I’ve been feeling about our main bathroom at our beach house in Ventura, California. Sure, we did a big remodel on it about 8 years ago, but over time, it’s started to look a little tired and dated.
I’ll be honest – a full-blown bathroom renovation is not really in our budget right now. Between the kitchen, living room, and primary bedroom overhaul we have planned for the main house, our wallets are feeling a little light. But that doesn’t mean I’m willing to just ignore the bathroom and let it keep looking drab.
No way, my friends. I was determined to find a way to give this space a much-needed facelift without breaking the bank. And let me tell you, I think I’ve found the perfect solution – updating the bathroom fixtures and accessories. It’s amazing what a difference just a few simple swaps can make!
Sprucing Up With Liberty Hardware
When it comes to finding high-quality, stylish bathroom hardware and accessories, I’ve had great luck with Liberty Hardware. They’re part of the trusted Masco family of brands, which includes names like Delta Faucet, Behr, and Kichler Lighting. So I knew I’d be getting products that were not only beautiful, but also built to last.
I ended up going with their Westdale Collection, and oh my goodness, what a difference it has made! From the adjustable towel rack that fits our awkward wall space perfectly, to the sleek new robe hooks that can actually hold the weight of our big, comfy robes, every single piece has elevated the look and functionality of our bathroom in the best way.
And the best part? I was able to find all the Westdale pieces I needed right at my local ABC Home store. No chasing down obscure online retailers or having to order custom pieces. It was all right there, ready for me to scoop up and get to work.
A Fresh, Cohesive Look
When I started this little bathroom refresh project, I have to admit, I was a little worried that mixing and matching different fixtures and accessories from various brands would end up looking, well, mismatched. But the Westdale Collection from Liberty Hardware has such a clean, cohesive aesthetic that it all came together beautifully.
The brushed nickel finish ties everything together seamlessly, from the towel racks and robe hooks to the toilet paper holder. And the simple, streamlined design complements the existing style of our bathroom perfectly – it’s a little bit modern, a little bit farmhouse, and a whole lot of beach house charm.
But the real showstopper has to be the new mirror. I found this Deluxe Mirror from Liberty Hardware with the most gorgeous Vintage Nickel frame, and it completely transforms the space. The beveled edge and Safe-Break backing (crucial for us Californians!) give it such a high-end, custom look, and I love how it coordinates with the other Westdale pieces.
Small Tweaks, Big Impact
Now, I know what you’re thinking – how much of a difference can just updating the fixtures and accessories really make? Let me tell you, the change is nothing short of dramatic. It’s amazing what a little attention to the small details can do for a space.
Before the Liberty Hardware makeover, our bathroom was starting to feel a bit tired and disjointed. The old towel rack was practically falling off the wall, and we never even got around to installing a proper hand towel holder. (Don’t judge – I know I’m not the only one who’s guilty of that!) It just felt a little neglected, you know?
But now? It’s like a whole new bathroom. Everything looks so polished and cohesive, from the gleaming new towel racks to the sleek robe hooks that are finally holding our plush robes the way they’re supposed to. And that mirror? Absolute showstopper. It elevates the whole space and makes it feel so much more luxurious.
As the team at My 100 Year Old Home put it, “Any update to a bathroom adds value to your home. It’s one of those things that after it’s done, you think, why did I wait so long to do this?” And let me tell you, they couldn’t be more right. I’m kicking myself for not doing this sooner!
The Power of a Little TLC
I think one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned through this little bathroom refresh is just how much of a difference a little TLC can make. It’s so easy to get complacent about the spaces in our homes, especially the ones we use every day. We get used to the way things are and start to tune out the areas that need a little extra attention.
But when you take the time to really focus on those neglected spaces and give them the care and attention they deserve, the transformation can be absolutely magical. And the best part is, it doesn’t have to cost a fortune or take months of renovations to make it happen.
With just a few simple, budget-friendly updates from Liberty Hardware, I was able to take our tired, dated bathroom and turn it into a beautiful, cohesive space that I’m genuinely excited to spend time in. No more grumbling about the sagging towel rack or the lack of a proper place to hang our robes. Now, it’s a bathroom I’m proud to show off – and that’s a pretty incredible feeling.
So if there’s a room in your home that’s been nagging at you, begging for a little TLC, I highly encourage you to take the plunge and give it the facelift it deserves. Trust me, the difference it makes is more than worth the effort. And who knows – you might even have as much fun with the process as I did!
