I’ve mentioned before that I truly love the Bohemian style. It’s minimalist, however, it’s packed with personality. There really aren’t any rules and you can mix so many pieces together to come up with a really fun space.

When asked by “H’s” mom if I could remake his bathroom into a space that would coordinate with his bedroom, I was all over it. Not only do I love BOHO, but I love coordinating rooms together based off of this style. So, here is where we started.

Since “H’s” bedroom got a sweet black chalkboard wall with a color palette of black, white, and butterscotch, I wanted to make sure I carried over these colors into the loo. This bathroom is attached and easily visible from his bedroom so it need to have some cohesion.

It started with the vision board:

Let’s just say I had a ton of fun creating this space because “H’s” mom gave me full creative liberties. So when I mentioned creating board and batten moldings in this amazing butterscotch hue (Valspar’s Butcher Block), she didn’t even bat an eye! Love that! When I introduced the idea of Swiss cross decals and leather pulls for the cabinetry doors and drawers, she was on board. Swoon! And when I mentioned painting the vanity in a shade of black, she said “yes!” Sweeeeet!

Valspar’s Dogwood Petals and Butcher Block going on the walls and trim!

After three coats of this beautiful, creamy white (four coats at the crown and edges), and only two passes using this butterscotch hue, the bathroom was starting to take shape! “H’s” mom opted for the chair rail over the board and batten and even installed it for me (that girl is handy)!

Next up? Swiss cross vinyl appliques. Now, these could have been painted on but in an effort to keep this as semi-permanent (and uniform) as possible, I opted for decals. Plus, they are super inexpensive and truly make the top portion of this wall all the way around the room.

These cute, little, inexpensive X’s (available on Amazon) are totally making this space come to life at this point. This also happens to be the part where I start getting all giddy over my client’s spaces because they are right on the cusp of completion.

So, how about the “after” shots?

You guys! I love this space. I love every detail that went into it. Believe me when I tell you that there is a lot of love, thought (and sweat) that went into the creation, execution, and installation of this one space.

Let’s start with some details:

The shower curtain is the same Wal-Mart piece I’ve used in a previous client’s refresh. With black fabric added to the bottom and a modern shower curtain rod placed high, it looks super cute and fun. Also, how about that light? Mrs. “M” selected this sweet thing and I totally love it.

Here’s a shot of that great mirror, the recently painted black cabinetry (Valspar’s Iron Ore), and those charming (yet masculine) leather drawer pulls all the way from Poland. Yes, Poland!

There were a number of vanity lights we could have chosen that would accommodate the Boho style BUT we opted for horizontal caged light (as shown below) fixture, as to not disrupt the height of the mirror. Basically, if we used a vanity with light sconces that pointed downward, they would cause the mirror to sit lower (too low, in fact), and it just wouldn’t look right. The other option was to raise the light fixture and electrical higher on the wall but that was a bit involved. Too involved.

So, we opted for this and I think it looks great!

How about this angle? Look at that sweet toilet decal. Perfect for a little (or big) boy’s restroom, don’t you think?

Swoon.

This stool was a great HomeGoods find. It jived perfectly with the rest of this newly refreshed restroom, and was the perfect height for “H.” Also? It was a total steal at only $14.99.

Last but not least is this great print. Mrs. “M” made using Photoshop and the awesome gold frame found on Amazon. A fun saying for a really fun bathroom.

Here are the before and after shots one more time:
