The cabinet is painted Farrow & Ball's Pavillion Gray and the walls and ceiling are Benjamin Moore's Bunny Gray. The floors are 1 x 1 Bianco Carrara honed marble surrounded by a border of 3 x 6 honed subway Bianco Carrara.I don't have it pictured here but we had a Panasonic Whisper ceiling exhaust fan installed. We were so happy with the Toto Aquia Dual Flush we put into our hall bath that we used it again here.
The Ikea sink only had one opening and I wanted to avoid a single lever faucet so I chose Porcher's Reprise faucet in chrome (now discontinued). The handles are labeled hot and cold and have a nice feel to them. Off to the left is a Bombay Saphire gin bottle converted into a soap dispenser. You might notice the faucet is off center by about a 1/2 inch. I forgot to take into consideration the cold water valve when measuring!Lillangen cabinet and sink: $229
Mosaic and subway tiles: $740
Installation of floor, labor cost: $800
Porcher faucet: $270
Toto Aquia dual flush - $392
Paint: $100
Ceiling exhaust fan and installation: $400
Total cost: $2931
2012 - The shower stall is still pink. It doesn't bother me so I have a feeling that when we finally decide to sell our house, I'll have it professionally reglazed. However, this summer I am planning to replace the old glass door with a new, frameless one. (We also had the carpenter remove the drywall overhang so the opening goes straight to the ceiling.)

YOU INSPIRE ME! I have a similar shade of pink and white tile in our hallway bath. This bath is the one my sons use and the color has been a bone of contention with them for years! How wonderful your economical face lift project turned out to be! It's inspired me to do the same with the pink and white tiles that surround the exterior walls of our bath too! Well done and thanks again for sharing and the inspiration! Linneman House, in Cincnnati, Ohio - Salutes you!
I did something similar in a bath years ago and the painted tiles held up very well. I would urge you, though, to go ahead and have the shower reglazed now so that you can enjoy it yourself. Why wait until you're ready to sell. Every time you walk into the bath now it will seem half-finished to you.
amazing job!!!
congratulations xxx
I love what you did and your determination to do it with a reasonable budget. You may have just inspired me to find that Ikea sink/cabinet. I have a lovely brown faux wood model from the 60's at the moment and have done everything but the sink... and now it's Time!
Perfect fix for tiles. Great makeover!
LOVELY!....I too have a soft place in my heart for IKEA bath sinks...smiles
Genius! I have gone back and forth between those decisions, we left the 'classic' tiles and this year(after 10 years) we are able to re-do the bathrooms....
Your reno is amazing! Well done!
I've had a company come and paint over ugly tile colors in two of my houses. You're right, it was horribly fumey, but after the first time, we left the door closed and sealed off the bottom of the door. After 3-4 days we opened the door and the fumes had gone. Having the weird tile color gone was GREAT!
AMAZING! What a fabulous and smart way to work with what you've got. Love the combination of vintage and new in this bathroom!
Wow, so much better! Never thought painting tile would actually work... Keep us posted as to how it is holding up!
Love your new fresh look, it is phenomenal.

Hi Notting Hill,
We at American Standard noticed you mentioned the Porcher Reprise Faucet which is discotinued. However, our JADO Savina collection offers a very similiar style inspried by the Reprise collection. Feel free to check it out http://www.jadousa.com/products/productDetail.aspx?id=4545
I thought you might be interested. Thanks, Debbie
I'm so excited to see that you painted over the tile. I have a bathroom in old blue tile and I have been dying to paint it...I'm inspired!!
Boy...what a difference everything made. You were so brave to try painting that tile!!! I am in love with the floors and well really just everything!
The elegant-looking black tiles on both sides of the shower's glass door caught my eye right away. :) Are you the one who came up with this design, Notting Hill? That's one of my favorite movies, by the way.

Doing make-overs’ are pretty exciting! Although you’re bathroom looked good already but by changing a little part makes it even better. For some, white color is a bit boring but the black tile idea added some glints on the background.

Brilliant renovation. The result was new and as if newly constructed. The ceramic tile (
home repair service st paul) colors blends well with the surroundings.
looked very good but will the paint stay on the tile I want to paint my bathroom tile .but not sure yet

I actually haven't seen this done so well before in a DIY project! It looks great. I had some friends who moved into an old, old house in Canada and paid someone to re-do their tile in Toronto. If someone can afford professionals it's nice, but you proved that with a bit of hard work and smart planning, one doesn't always need to go the most expensive route to get a nice look.
I have a very similar shower stall. You mentioned you were planning a frameless shower door. I want that, too. Did you buy one? Who was your supplier? Any problems going that route? Thanks.
Great bathroom update! I love what you did with those old tiles!
I am very impressed by the info that you have on this site. It reveals how nicely you understand this subject.

Thanks for sharing. It looks amazing! I don't know how you managed to make it look that good and that easy. Congrats. I'd love to revamp my ceramic tiles in Calgary.
I took a lot of photos in this town, so I'm going to break them down into two posts.
