What better way to end 2009 than on a high note with a room redo! This is the post that’s been in the making for oh… going on about 2 months now. Admittedly, I still have some accessorizing work to do, but for now, I at least wanted to post some photos.
The scary, 1990’s honey oak, bleh-I-can’t-stand-it befores:
Ugly faucet, be gone!!
Getting ready to demo. We saved the mirror, no breakage!
And after demo, we had new hardwood floors laced in where there were none under the vanity. This was done by a professional. We removed the toilet during this process. After the floors were complete, Mason and his dad installed the pedestal sink, a new faucet and re-installed the toilet just in time for a house full of guests for Thanksgiving!
We also hung new beadboard around the bottom half of the walls, and painted it black.
Then we cut all of the trim – both the chair rail around the top of the beadboard and also the baseboard with shoe, and installed it around the entirety of the bathroom and painted it with black semi-gloss paint + primer by Behr. Love this product!
The top half of the walls were painted Aristocrat White by Behr.
We installed a new round mirror from Hobby Lobby, a chrome light fixture from Lowe’s above the mirror, and bought new chrome bath hardware from Target.
Then we applied these trees to give some interest and personality on the top:
A little birdie told Mason that he’s excited that the half bathroom is almost done. 
And here is the (almost) finished product! Still need to get some accessories. But I was just too damn excited not to post. ;-)
The trees go around the whole bath, and overlap at some points. You can see the trees on the wall opposite the mirror in the second picture below.
We went with a square towel ring, which I thought was unique. That was Mason’s suggestion actually! One of the things I like the most about having a black & white bathroom is being able to change out the towels to match the season or my mood!
Say today for instance. Turquoise blue sounds fun.
As soon as I get my accessories going, I’ll get more pics posted! Happy 2010 all!

The trees are so cool and the black bead board is to die for. You have a great design eye. THANKS FOR SHARING AND HAPPY NEW YEAR
I adore the trees. Where did you get them?
Oh - this is flor by the way. :)
Thanks Flor! The trees are from Etsy seller Popwall. They have a nice variety. Their new birch design is amazing. :). Enjoy!
This is stunning, I love it. You're right, the square towel ring is highly original and you'll have so much fun playing with the black and white base...
Love what you've done! It makes me desperate to redo our bathroom in black and white (of which I am a diehard fan).
I love it!! Love that you can jazz it up with different pops of color!
This is so "Leslie" I cannot stand it!! I wish I had your DIY prowess. PS - come visit me! I finally posted again!!
This is fabulous! Wonderful job! I LOVE the black beadboard.
Les, I love it!!! It's fantastic! Great work!
It looks FAB!! You guys did an amazing job!!
LOVE IT! Was the beadboard tricky? I'd love to put some in my blah powder room...
@ E from Oh Apostrophe:
Love your blog name! The beadboard was not difficult at all. Just a matter of getting it cut to the proper size. Then we applied to the wall with a tube of paneling adhesive from Liquid Nails. Coat of paint and bam! Easy peasy Japaneesy.
Hella Cute! I love it!
One word: Wow!
Your bathroom is stunning. Love the beadboard.
Your bathroom looks great! I really like the trees on the way! What a difference your hard work made.
wow!!! What a transformation. Love it! Thanks for sharing.
Oh wow!!! What a neat room!
Love everything here! And I think it's great that you went with a darker color for the beaded board-- it really grounds the space. Great job!
I love your bathroom-it's so unique and beautiful! :) I enjoyed seeing the process. Love those trees!
I love your Bathroom. The black beadboard bottom is awesome!!! The trees are great too!
Oh. My. Gosh. This is AMAZING! I can't go on enough about how much I love it! I found you as I was searching through blogs today, and I am excited to keep reading your posts. Good luck with the office!
Can I ask how expensive the wall art was? I looked at differnt websites & one tree alone was over $100. Did this cost a fortune?
I want it, but can I afford it?
STUNNING, absolutely STUNNING!
Hi Amy! The wall art was from Etsy seller Popwall and it was $88 for six trees with branches and 4 birds. I hope you find something you like!
How gorgeous! You guys did an awesome job putting it together :)
Popping over from Better After. Beautiful job! It's stunning!

Love the trees!! all you need now in the bath is to somehow rig a tape of birds singing when someone flips the lightswitch on!
But, kind of sad at this decal trend, puts mural artists out of business.
