35 YEAR-OLD SMALL BATHROOM MAKEOVER + DIY PAINTED COUNTERTOPS!!

What did you do with the first gallon of paint because they don't buy back paint once they mix it up? and you may have oodles of money to spend on samples at $6 they add up you bought five that's $36 then a wasted gallon of paint when you could have picked up as many paper swatches for free and taped them to the wall to decide what colors you wasted about $70

[@aunt_b3365]

@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher does this paint for the countertop not scratch or chip after time? I e never heard of panting countertop.also, don't you think the color of the sprinkles would change once added to the pant to the same color as the paint? I believe it is to give it texture and keep it from scratch . ??? Thanks God bless

You made a smart choice selecting navy blue for the cabinets. Amazing how much it transformed the space! Love the shelf and the gorgeous peel and stick wall paper in the drawers. Your mom has such a warm, friendly smile. She must have been the homecoming Queen and captain of the cheerleaders back in the day!

Thank you so much!

[@melissaosman1033]

You did an amazing job. I'm so bold I would have done a frame around the mirror in the navy & the window in Navy with some privacy decals or frost. I also would have done a Navy Shower Curtain to tie everything together. You did an amazing job as is. Amazing job. That's just the home interior decorator in me.

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

You are so inspirational! So cute that you did it for your parents. Keep up the great job Lauren. You are doing your part to keep furniture out of the landfill.

Lovely. Such fun to see their surprise! Maybe I would have added a round mirror. ?

[@daniellelouise7587]

A tip I learned with the door stops, when you take the old one off, fill the baseboard trim, paint over it and use the type of door stops that go on the top hinge of the door!

[@Cherie5353]

Girl, you are a young version of your mother. Beautiful makeover.

[@shoequeen1503]

The more I watch, the more I learn, and thank you for being such a great teacher!

[@twatquat3322]

I used Beyond Paint on my kitchen cabinets, ( not even real wood, formica I think), in Brilliant White. It's been almost three years and they are still perfect. I followed the Beyond Paint prep instructions down to the simple green and water rinse. All I have to do to keep them clean is wipe them down with a cloth with warm soapy water. Best desician I ever made. My old cabinet color was a dark brown and this lightened my kitchen up so much. 🙂

[@Angela-ny7hj]

Beautiful job on the makeover of your parents bathroom!! One suggestion I would offer, which I have done in the past myself is frame out the mirror. This will give it a new feel and hide the worn edges of the construction mirror. I didn't even miter mine! I used some nice profile baseboard on the top and bottom with the flat edge facing up on both the top and bottom pieces and cut just over the width of the mirror about a 1/4 or 1/2 inch. For the sides I used a different wood trim piece that was just about as wide as the bottom and top pieces but was a trim piece that just had some groved vertical lines in it. The side pieces I measured and mounted those to fit in between the top and bottom pieces and fit flush on the edges with the top and bottom pieces to form a frame. I painted them the same color as my cabinet or you could paint them whatever color you think will coordinate. I attached them to the mirror with some construction glue calk. It really updated the mirror and gave it a Hotel/Spa feel! Just an inexpensive suggestion to give it an additional finishing touch. 😊👍

[@divinelyengineered]

I love this idea!! We're moving into our first home and the mirrors are still the builders grade. This sounds like a simple, inexpensive way to upgrade the mirrors

[@rhondadavis1483]

You can get the pieces to frame it at Lowe’s really cheap if you don’t have it already on hand. That’s what we are doing to our bathroom

[@jillpackard5305]

Job well done FFT team! The attention to detail takes it up a notch. I recommend framing the mirror out in white trim to match the window.

[@kmil1967]

Yesss

[@rhondadavis1483]

I was going to say the same. I just re-did my bathroom and that’s what we are doing...haven’t gotten to it yet lol

[@heidifritz3053]

The Beyond Paint products seem very user friendly and forgiving. I’ve been looking at the Rustoleum cabinet kit but will probably watch your full kitchen reno for more details about Beyond Paint. Painting the wood trim and door and caulking around the sink really gave it that extra touch. Beautiful job!

[@conniepleasantnails]

Awe…your Mom was so excited but your Dad he’s very proud of you ❤️

[@rosaliefunk1629]

You and Neiman are a loving and appreciative. Parents give with their heart. It’s a beautiful transformation.

[@ruthwhitfield9043]

Wonderful job you did for your parents. One suggestion to upgrade that mirror for less than $30. Buy some decorative wood molding and glue it straight to the mirror.

[@truthbetold4178]

Just Beautiful! Your parents must be incredibly proud of you and your talents. You ROCK. 👋

[@DramaMustRemainOnTheStage]

You are such a sweet daughter. I love it. So happy for you and your parents

[@kathic8823]

A trick I learned while helping my mom choose a paint color for her bathroom was to do the samples so that each of them is next to the trim or tile that will still be there, rather than have some further away. It made it a lot easier to catch the ones that didn't compliment the existing colors as well. Also, you can buy stick-on sheets that you can paint, then peel off the wall easily - so you can move the samples around to get an idea of how it looks on different surfaces. Lastly, my experience from having to repaint a rental-house bathroom every 3 years or so - the samples are usually a flat paint, so using that above the shower isn't the greatest idea. A semi-gloss, or satin, helps with water resistance much better. Eggshell at minimum for a bathroom if you don't want condensation to damage the paint. Beautiful makeover!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

we used eggshell (:

Those counter tops are perfect for doing a resin pour. Wish my counter top was more like that one. I use resin and it turns out beautiful. Great job on the makeover. It's so much fun doing bathrooms.

[@Bionicbabyy]

Some people are allergic to the resin projects

[@dawnlight348]

I thought the speckles were pretty.

[@Lisa-yd8di]

Great job 👏 if i may suggest...trim out your mirror with some wood trim! Paint it white, grey, navy...or a grey/whitewash would be really nice with your scheme. It makes such a difference to frame it!

Lauren, I love watching your videos! You have inspired me to do my own renovations! I just have not got the nerve to start yet! LOL! I did try painting a fiberboard and wood oak colored lateral 2 drawer file cabinet in my office using white chalk paint and what a disaster! I used a foam brush. It looks like either the person was drunk (which I was not) or it was a child who painted it! You make it look so easy! I am glad your parents appreciated and liked your hard work! I would do 2 other things: first, use that navy paint and clean up that frame. It may be cosmetically distressed but not what I can see from a distance. The other is to frame out the mirror. Great job, Lauren!

[@hollyhicks9613]

Okay now I have to go back and look for your 👻 ghost to see what everyone is talking about. I totally missed it! Great job! My favorite part is when you and your dad were underneath the sink working side by side. Love it!

Photo finish!!! It looks amazing!!! Pro-tip, dip your finger in some blue Dawn dishwashing liquid then smooth your caulk. It won’t stick to your finger and gives a smoother finish to the caulk.

[@fiberfox2409]

Another transformation success! Love all the colors you chose from the colors on the walls, trim, cabinetry, to the lighting fixture and sink. And as mentioned, you don’t have to spend an outrageous amount of money to make updates. I always say that paint is the easiest and most efficient way to go when updating / freshening up a home. I was so happy to see your father and mother be so excited to see the changes. Great Job 👏🏻 Lauren!!

I'm going to be moving in the next 6 to 8 months and by watching your channel you have made me realize that I can find my perfect house even if the house itself isn't totally perfect because apparently paint now in days can work wonders on everything as long as it's in decent condition.

[@Redberryfarm888]

Great job! Another thing would be to not attach the faucet in place until AFTER painting the countertop... (more room to paint the backsplash and behind the sink) and perhaps even learn /have help putting in a water line shut off valve there so that just the faucet is without water... but little things add up and where does THAT ever end?... you'd be doing the whole house! 😂

If you start with painting the door backs, let them dry a little, then put on pyramids and paint the front, it will save dry time and the worst that can happen is you’ll have four tiny pimples on the back

[@rozannecamacho4938]

If you were giving a complete refresh, why not replace the mirror?

[@imahick5723]

Most of those mirrors are applied with an adhesive that you cannot loosen. That means that you have to cut a hole in the sheep Rock and replace a huge piece of sheetrock, tape mud and paint. We opted for framing in that big ugly mirror rather than going through the whole mess of taking it out
