bathroom remodel

Earlier I had posted a blog about our lil house and some DIY I've been doing. I really wish I had taken some before pics but, I never thought I'd really share it with the world!
Lol
Back in Feb 2014, I decided to sink some money 💵 into the house and start fixing it up. I wish I was rich sometimes so I could have my "dream" house or bathroom! But, at the same time I am also humbled and thankful because, it may not be the best of the best, but, it's ours, and my daughter and I did it ourselves!
Since money was tight, we saved money by looking at clearance paint at Lowe's and WalMart. We found this sage green color for 20.00.
Green? Ugh, wasn't excited at all!
(now I have green everywhere)
We attempted sponge painting the walls.... And, I really ended up loving it!
There was this huge ugly medicine cabinet right behind the toilet! I hated it. Every time you sat on the toilet you would hit your head! We removed it just to discover my bathroom mirror almost took up that whole wall!! Just by removing that cabinet and having that huge mirror made my bathroom look so much bigger!
I had some black home made shelves that were already here when we bought the house. I was gonna paint them but got lazy. After I added them back, I loved the black accent! So, I started to incorporate black in with the decor
For flooring we just got those cheap peel and stick squares
Looks pretty good, huh?
After adding a new shower curtain, rug, accent towels, and a few odds and ends, my bathroom was complete, and all for under 100.00! Not to bad!
I'm pretty proud of it. I do believe the best part was getting to do it with my daughter though!
Y'all got any cool DIY ideas you wanna share?

just a quick DIY.....

Just a quick DIY. We bought an older small lil house which is so out of date!! Lol I've been slowly trying to fix it up... By myself 😉 so, if yall like these kinds of posts let me know!!
(I'm in the process of cleaning so, please excuse it)
As you can see, my kitchen is teeniny
My washer and dryer are to the left and very few cabinets.
My neighbor had an entertainment unit he was wanting to give us if we wanted it!! Of course.... It was free, and like I've said before, I love a bargain 😉
Unfortunately our tv is to big to for in it. I had to figure out something to do with it. Anyhow, took the does off the front to and poof..
I had this adorable microwave stand!!! (don't mind the code pot, not everyone in the house is Mormon lol)
In the bottom cabinets I use for food storage. Kind of my lil make believe pantry
