A Cozy Farmhouse Bathroom Update

Sharing is caring!

Planked Walls

Back in January, I started planking my upstairs bathroom.  I totally hurt my back after doing it though, so the rest of it is going to have to wait until after my baby is born.  But I love the way it looks so much, I want all my bathrooms to have this look!  Planking is actually not that difficult, especially using the tongue and groove panels.  I did a full tutorial here.

I topped it off by adding a few robe hooks for towels.  It’s so nice because the towel bar fell off from day 1 and we could never get it to stay.  I think the hardware guy used screws that are too short, by the way, so if you have that problem, maybe it’s that.  Anyway, I added some brand new fluffy white BHG towels.  I only buy white towels now because it seems like the ones I’ve bought in colors always end up getting bleached out or stained or something.  I never have good luck with colored towels.

I decided to hang the sunburst mirror there for now because I tried to hang something larger there but it seemed to overwhelm this small tight space.  There is literally like two feet between the shower and the wall so I don’t want something screaming at you when you get out.  Maybe I’ll switch it to some cute found letters that say something like ‘WASH’ in the future.

    Loved this, Heidi. Farmhouse style is beautifully clean and simple with a touch of nostalgia. Pinned and shared on my Wife Sense FB page.

  4. what did you use for the top trim (where the towel hooks are)?

    1. Heidi @ Honeybear Lane says:

      It’s a pre-primed MDF piece, approximately 1×6 or possibly 1×8, I can’t remember.
