80s bathroom refresh using paint

Liselotte78

When we moved to a bigger house where our boys had their own teenage “wing”, the old 80s girls’ bathroom didn’t quite look the part. While we’ll eventually do a full bathroom renovation, we simply don’t have the money at the moment.

However, thanks to some elbow grease and paint products and advice from Bunnings, we have a much more modern-looking bathroom that is perfect for our teenagers and their guests.
