The project started with a leaky toilet and a stinky shower curtain. Every now and then when you flush our toilet it starts leaking from the handle, so Sam called our landlord, Dave, and told him about the dilemma. Sam said he could fix it, and Dave said to deduct the cost of the parts and another $50 for labor because he didn’t want to call a plumber. We wandered over to Home Depot, and after talking to his dad, Sam realized he could fix it without replacing any parts. Somewhere between the bathroom section and the front door, we were buying paint to makeover our ugly bathroom vanity.
The face of the vanity was wood and the rest was partical board. I’m thinking 70’s vintage? As you can see, the vanity doesn’t match the original black and white tile floor. So, we primed and painted for a quick and cheap updated look. We, also, spray-painted the rusted brass hardware a metallic finish for a more modern decor.
And what about that smelly shower curtain? Curtain liners always get so stinky and gross, so we opted for a machine washable liner/ curtain. Our bathtub is very old and we need two shower curtains to fit all the way around, and the one and a half that we had just wasn’t making the cut. We went to Bed Bath & Beyond and bought two pale, blue gray shower curtains that double as liners. Total makeover: $50.
Jasper seemed to enjoy the new shower curtain. I moved them from the bed, so he couldn’t lay on them, but I guess he found them anyway.
