Black Bathroom & Laundry Room Cabinets Before & After

 

How’s everyone’s week going? We are looking forward to the weekend here! Saturday will be filled with indoor soccer games which the boys are dyeing to play in since they had to miss the last couple weeks when they were sick. And yes, I am that mom that never thought she would yell and scream at the games … but I totally do!

Today I wanted to show you the rest of my Brother and Sis in Laws cabinets that we repainted. We did their kitchen cabinets in a nice warm gray (check them out here) and the rest of the cabinets in their house black.

Here is the half bath. I love how they turned out. We used a semi gloss poly on all the cabinets so they would be cleanable but not in your face shiny.

I love the casual style of their home. If you remember their kitchen, it also has a striped wall like this one in the bathroom and I think it keeps the house feeling cohesive. Plus, I’m just a big fan of fat horizontal stripes!

Just to give you a tiny idea of what the cabinets looked like before, here is a shot peeking into the full bathroom and the laundry room.

Here is the laundry room now. Super clean and simple. Anna DIYed the baskets on the top of the cabinets out of diaper boxes. Aren’t they perfect?!

The hardware is the same as what she put in the kitchen, with a different finish. Again, keeping with the flow of their home.

And the full bathroom that is next to the laundry room …

Those stripes again … LOVE!

Here’s a super grainy shot of the Master Bath before. (It’s all she had … but makes for a great before & after!)

Doesn’t the after look amazing?? I love that they added a chunky black frame around the mirror. It really completes the room.

So, there you have it! I am in love with all the cabinets and am always amazed at the huge difference paint can make in your home! Oh, and once again the awesome photography was done by my Sis in laws friend Tosha. Go check her stuff out here!
