Designing A Bathroom Mood Board That Will Attract Renters
We can finally see the end of the tunnel on this rental bathroom renovation. It has been a journey! Here’s how it started:
We ripped out the old vanity, mirror, light fixture and 2 layers of floors. Then we realized we had to rip out the walls to replace the old cast iron plumbing stack that goes from the roof to the basement. There was a leak in the shower water lines as well so we had to replace those as well.
Once all the issues were resolved we were able to start patching the walls with drywall!
Now we’re ready to make our mood board for this space come to life! We’re going to install new LVP floors, add bead board treatment to the walls, new vanity & light fixture. I wanted to keep the design for this space clean and classic to attract a wide range of renters. What do you think of the mood board?
I did add the art, basket and plant to the mood board because I will be doing some staging of the bathroom for taking pictures for the rental listing. I may thrift the decor or take some things from my house but this is how I’m imagining the space!

Sneak Peak of the Plans for our Guest Room
The blue room in our house is finally getting adressed! We barely ever go in here right now and it’s used for storage for camping gear and other things (like my wedding dress that’s been hanging in here for almost a year…). We desperately need to get on top of our storage. The closets in this house are small and maxed out. We also would love to have a room for guests to stay with us! The plan for this room should address both of those needs. This is the picture of the room from the original listing:
Dark blue paint, wallpaper ceiling border, and old carpet. Last summer I removed all of the carpet in here to reveal original hardwood floors:
We had our floors professionally refinished in October (read that blog here) and this room quickly filled up, see below how it looks now. Yikes!
I am so ready to tackle this room. We’re not doing anything crazy, just paint and new furnishings but I think the transformation is going to be stunning! We’ll be painting the walls a gray white (Snowbound by Sherwin Williams) and the trim will be a slightly contrasting gray (Repose Gray by Sherwin Williams). This is the same colors we painted the living room!
This is my mood-board so far for the guest room! I am going for neutral, cabin-cozy vibes. I’ll be adding some things I already own to this plan as well, like a vintage luggage rack. I’ll be starting this weekend and hopefully it will be a straightforward project! I can’t decide if I want to keep and repaint the window shutters or remove them completely. What do you think?
