{ Itty Bitty Living Space: The Bathroom }

Well hey y'all. Happy Monday!

Sorry for the radio silence - we've been a little busy over here getting settled into the new apartment.(yes we finally got one!) 

While we couldn't be happier to have found a little home to call our own, the new place is definitely not without its challenges. I'll give you a full tour of the {before} apartment photos soon, but for now let's start with the bathroom. 

Y'all. It's tiiiiiny. I mean, there is no way on earth Trevor and I will ever be in here together at once. A few people even let out audible gasps when they saw it for the first time {before we began the process of giving it a little face lift}. It's definitely one of the eyesores of the apartment {along with the kitchen, but we'll go over that another time}. Take a look...

BATHROOM BEFORE

Despite the size, it does have a few things going for it. The pedestal sink is rather cute and the vintage tile and flooring is actually pretty charming. Unfortunately, the walls were peeling, the pinky beige color was doing nothing for the space, and it didn't feel the least cared for or clean, let alone special. 

And here's how it's looking as of today: 

BATHROOM PROGRESS

{shame on me for forgetting to light that candle before snapping the photo!}

We went with a light grey throughout the rest of the apartment, but decided to go a bit bolder in the bathroom. Since it's such a small space, we wanted it to make a big impact. Let's face it, none of that "paint it white to make it feel bigger" business was going to work in here. The space is tiny, and that's that, so why not embrace it? In time, I hope to make this "itty bitty living space" {points for you if you can name that movie reference} feel like a little jewel box.

The Deets:

Wall Color: Intellectual by Behr

Shower Curtain: Nate Berkus Home Collection for Target (i can't find it online but i'd check your local store if you're interested - we just picked ours up last week!)

Hand towels: Room Essentials at Target

Pair of Toothbrushes: Kikkerland Pantone Toothbrush Set

Side Stool w/ Magazines: Discontinued Plant Stand from Ikea 

We still have a lot more to do in here, namely adding some art and functional storage on the wall space above the toilet:

We're thinking open shelving for towels, jars of cotton balls/q-tips, and other concealed toiletries. I also definitely want to add a healthy dose of art - most likely in a thick, metallic {not sure if i'm going to add in a bit of gold or stick with silver} frame to jazz things up a bit and break up some of the grey. 

Eventually, I'd like to style it with a more leafy {and less grassy} plant, but all in good time. For now, it's way more livable than before, and  seeing as we've only been here about a week, I'd say thats progress.

So what about you guys? Seen any fun, mini makeovers lately? Do tell!
