Around here, summer = project time. The school year ended on June 8, which means that I have time to tackle some things off of my to-do list {when I'm not chauffeuring my kiddos to & from camps, lessons, practices and games, that is}.
The upstairs kids' bathroom was pretty neutral when we bought the home a year ago and we knew a complete bathroom gut job was not in the budget. So, we simply made some easy cosmetic updates which have brightened up the space a ton! I'm not in love with the existing tile or countertops, but with the change in color tones, I can now live with them!

As you can tell, the vanity and countertops are original, as is the tub/shower (not pictured here). So this is a great example of how a little paint and lots of time can go a long way!
