"Half bathroom" probably doesn't make you feel super inspired. But these rooms are super functional and commonly used, so might as well express your style in them! There can be function issues to solve in them, too, like small sinks and no cabinets.

Updating a powder bathroom is a fantastic way to start DIY-ing or just do a quick, easy, fun update to a commonly used room!

Plus, how gorgeous is this half bathroom inspiration??

Ashley and I both have experience redoing several bathrooms and half-baths and shared some great budget-friendly and custom-look project ideas in episode 27 of the Your Home Story podcast!

Projects and resources we mentioned:

• Easy half bathroom update: My faux chair rail look
• My faux wallpaper project and how it looked when she painted over it
• My 90’s home $391 powder bath total makeover (and video about that lightening-fast bathroom project)
• My palm leaf removable wallpaper and chair rail project
• Ashley’s modern powder bath vanity round-up

Plus, we talk through the elements you can change in a powder bath to update it, from most to least intense/expensive: cabinet/vanity, flooring, backsplash/wall, lighting, mirror, paint, and decor. Here’s Ashley’s cute DIY vanity light tutorial and the kit by Grand Brass.
