Small budget big imagination! This great looking bathroom was brought to life thanks to the homeowners' imagination, and despite their small budget. The owners are both taller than average people and they decided to use a little ingenuity to create a custom solution. A tall, wide sideboard unearthed at a local antique shop was easily transformed into a wonderful (& high) double sink washstand: two holes were cut out to drop in sinks and faucets, and the top was resurfaced with durable ceramic tile. The result?  A simple solution with tons of charm! More discoveries two inexpensive mirrors are a perfect fit with the antique washstand and the lampshades were transformed with painted finish by adding the mirrors' matching metal cross detail. The subtle patina on the walls was very easy to do and, its natural hues complement the antique look of the furniture. Let imagination be your guide. Try the simple combination of utilizing beloved objects and discovering new ways to approach design solutions to create an attractive and unique décor!
