Think a stunning bathroom makeover requires a big budget or hiring an expensive contractor? Think again! Amy Howard at Home customer Sallie Wysocke recently proved you can achieve luxury results without breaking the bank. With Amy Howard’s DIY-friendly products and a little creativity, Sallie took her outdated bathroom from drab to designer-worthy.
Sallie’s original bathroom had dark cabinetry, brown walls, and outdated flooring that made the space feel tired and cramped. A full remodel would have cost thousands, but Sallie knew there had to be a better way—an affordable DIY makeover using the right tools and techniques.
Using a few key products and techniques from Amy Howard at Home, Sallie transformed her bathroom into a luxurious retreat featuring faux marble floors, elegant concrete-style walls, and refreshed vanity cabinets.
Here's exactly how she did it:
Sallie gave her existing floors an impressive faux marble finish using Amy Howard’s popular One Step Paint in these shades:
After carefully applying the colors using Amy’s faux marble technique, she sealed the floors with a protective coat of satin water-based polyurethane, providing durability and a flawless, professional look.
To complement her new marble floors, Sallie sponged the same One Step Paint colors onto her plastered bathroom walls. The sponging method created a subtle texture, giving her walls a stunning, contemporary concrete-like finish. This added depth, style, and elegance to the bathroom.
The bathroom makeover wouldn’t be complete without a fresh look for the vanity cabinets. Sallie updated them using One Hour Miracle Paint in the beautiful, neutral shade Atelier. This quick-drying formula provided smooth coverage and refreshed her vanity cabinets beautifully.
Sallie’s incredible bathroom makeover demonstrates how a small investment, combined with the right DIY-friendly products and techniques, can lead to stunning results—without spending a fortune. If you're inspired by Sallie’s project, it’s time to start your own transformation!
