Staffers' Challenge: Budget Bathroom Makeovers

Three staffers give their bathrooms a budget-savvy makeover with soothing colors, sleek storage, custom window treatments, and home improvement store finds.

Water Works

Decorating inspiration can come from anywhere, and for Katie Leporte, art director for Do It Yourself magazine, it came from a single seafoam green glass mosaic tile. She sprinkled the bright hue throughout her bathroom -- on the walls, the floor, and the bathtub surround. Together with cool white fixtures and artistic flourishes on the walls, these elements give Katie's bathroom a chic update for just $1,635.

Modern Accents

Silver accents and touches of black ground Katie's bath and give the seafoam tiles more weight. The brushed nickel faucet, towel ring, and mirror add a modern touch to the cottage home's bathroom. Opting for an oval mirror, rather than a traditional medicine cabinet, gives the bathroom a contemporary flair.

Personal Touches

Katie created the display shelf by removing the door of an old, shallow built-in cabinet. She painted the border and shelves black and decorated the back with coordinating scrapbook papers. To add even more flair to the area, she drew a simple design on the wall and painted it with black acrylic paint.
