Small areas can generally pack a good greater punch than generously sized ones, and this utility room-turned-bathroom from Christine Gummersall of Honey Constructed House is proof. As a utility room, this area was a clean canvas; “with its small measurement, I needed to make the area daring and impactful,” Christine says. The area wasn’t being put to a lot use because it was: Initially a storage room by the water heater and furnace, it offered the proper place to slip in a much-needed additional toilet in order that friends wouldn’t must crowd into the lavatory shared by Christine’s three youngsters.

Christine took on the redo as a part of the One Room Problem, so she was on a six-week timetable to complete. She did a lot of the work herself, with an help from her dad when it got here to putting in the bathe taps and the bathroom.

Christine began by leveling the concrete ground earlier than putting in new matte black hex tile underfoot. “Grouting and tiling positively took WAY longer than I had anticipated. Two straight days of grouting, I believed my fingers had been going to fall off,” Christine says. She additionally tiled the lavatory’s standing bathe.

On the partitions, Christine put in horizontal wainscoting painted a mossy inexperienced shade; above, she added brush stroke-printed wallpaper from Livette’s Wallpaper in a customized shade to completely match.

“I like the wallpaper matching the paint shade precisely,” Christine says. “So many areas have coloured wallpaper with a white wainscoting, however taking a contemporary moody spin to have the wallpaper and paint match makes the area so distinctive.”

Above is a greater have a look at the colour of the wainscoting and paper—as a result of the room’s an inside area, photographs don’t all the time painting the colour precisely.

For a pure contact, Christine added a wooden vainness; the white prime retains it feeling recent and trendy. Remaining contact? Some open cabinets above the newly put in bathroom, with room for toilet necessities and a bit art work, too.

The full price to convey this area from glorified closet to practical toilet was simply $1,000—a steal! Now, friends have a toilet to make use of that feels trendy, inviting, and really grown up.
