Fun & Unique Guest Bathroom Ideas & Makeover

Bet you've never seen some of these unique bathroom ideas before! You guests will love using your bathroom and so will your family using a few of our ideas!We have two bathrooms in our home, one in the hallway and then a master bath in Roy and my bedroom. The hall bathroom is pretty much the boys/guest bathroom as our son lives here too and as is my typical MO (method of operation) I wanted to make it unique, lovely, yet something that would appeal to guys. I also wanted a touch of fun. Yep that’s me… the woman who wants her bathroom to be fun. S,o below shows what I did and everything I purchased. I linked to what I bought if possible in case you too would like to add some “fun” to your own bathroom. You’ll also notice there is a separate post on how I did my Sturdy Granite Contact Paper Countertop Makeover. It turned out beyond beautiful and made a huge difference in the entire bathroom. We’ve also got a freebie for you below. There’s a PG version and a G rated version. Do you have a tub that you don’t use often or at all? Check out How to Make a Removable Bathtub Cover. It’s amazing!

We also did a full makeover on our master bathroom complete with recovering the counter with contact paper.

These are the “before” photos. Notice the folding door on the very small linen closet. It was hard to access with that door. Everything had an orange tint to it.

We chose a cool grey. And what’s up with that towel rod in the shower?? Its not like you can use it when your showering. The middle part was missing when we bought the house. We did buy the middle part just so it at least looked normal. Bet you've never seen some of these unique bathroom ideas before!

Under the sink was plain gross. I wiped it out and cleaned it up. Bet you've never seen some of these unique bathroom ideas before! You guests will love using your bathroom and so will your family using a few of our ideas!

Then we added paint. Paint can fix a multitude of sins! The rag was removed and the hole filled. I also painted the outside of the cupboard.Bet you've never seen some of these unique bathroom ideas before! You guests will love using your bathroom and so will your family using a few of our ideas!

We took the double fold door off as it was ridiculous for that spot and made it even harder to access the tiny closet. Bet you've never seen some of these unique bathroom ideas before! You guests will love using your bathroom and so will your family using a few of our ideas!

Roy decided to add a wood frame around the plain mirror to dress it up. It was fairly easy to do by mounting wood strips around, then cutting some baseboard trim to go around it.

As you might recall from my post about tree decals, “Nothings Right Till There’s a Tree on My Wall, I’m a tree person and usually have at least one vinyl tree somewhere in the house. Right now there’s some in my living room but I wanted to add another in the bathroom so we purchased a white one and Roy did the honors of putting it up for which I’m grateful as its fairly tedious work.Bet you've never seen some of these unique bathroom ideas before!

First the trunk.Bet you've never seen some of these unique bathroom ideas before! You guests will love using your bathroom and so will your family using a few of our ideas!

This is the basic tree. Leaves were still needed at this point. Bet you've never seen some of these unique bathroom ideas before! You guests will love using your bathroom and so will your family using a few of our ideas!

The next and probably biggest project was covering up my countertop. This was the paper I chose. I researched how people had done it but was concerned about longevity and how well it would hold up. So I found a way to make it very sturdy and long lasting. Bet you've never seen some of these unique bathroom ideas before!

This is how it turned out. I did a full post on this process which you can click the link below. You’ll also notice the knobs we replaced.Bet you've never seen some of these unique bathroom ideas before! You guests will love using your bathroom and so will your family using a few of our ideas!

There was only one drawer so we lined it with contact paper and added some dollar store organizers.

Organized under the sink then added what I think is the greatest invention ever. Store bag holders for trash. They attach INSIDE the door and you hang the bags on them. That way there’s no need to place a trash can on the floor. I have a set in both bathrooms! They’re called Handi Hanger Trash Bag HoldersBet you've never seen some of these unique bathroom ideas before!

This pen is above the toilet. We have no small children so we opted for the PG-13 version for giggles though I’ve blurred it out so as not to offend. We’ve got a free G rated version too. Both are free downloads up top.  I added a simple mason jar with stones and fake greenery that I already had.Bet you've never seen some of these unique bathroom ideas before!

The other two shelves were added next to the sink. I purchased two baskets, one for my husband and one for my son. They hold shaving gear etc. Plus a clock.Bet you've never seen some of these unique bathroom ideas before! You guests will love using your bathroom and so will your family using a few of our ideas!

I also bought a hand towel holder and really nice soap dispenser. I buy the soap in bulk for refilling which saves money.

There were no towel racks in the bathroom, unless you count that weird one on the shower. So we bought two nickle plated ones. One hung above the toilet as shown with one shelf above.

This is artwork I specifically chose for the men’s bathroom though its certainly perfect for a woman’s bathroom also. I framed it in an old gold frame I already had and then painted silver. If you know the artist you’ll know why. If not, it’s beautiful iris flower. Underneath is my fun cupboard. Bet you've never seen some of these unique bathroom ideas before!

Believe it or not this started out as me needing a place to put a toilet paper holder. The toilet was too close to the sink to place it there so I was debating on a stand alone holder which I wasn’t thrilled with. Then I saw these Cabinets and my brain started working. It wasn’t quite as tall as I liked so Roy put a base under for me and we painted it white. Now I really could have some fun! I attached a white toilet paper holder to the side. The kind that is slip on and off because I wanted that to be super easy. Bet you've never seen some of these unique bathroom ideas before!

Then I bought some bottles of Poo Pourri which I’ve always wanted to try. Lets just say I’ll never be without it again. It works amazingly well. So far we’ve tried “Poo La La”, “Deja Poo” and “Party Pooper”. Bet you've never seen some of these unique bathroom ideas before!

Inside the cupboard is more TP, wet cleansing wipes an MP3 player loaded with music, Bathroom Book 1, 1227 Interesting Facts to Blow Your Socks off and of course Everyone Poops 410 Pounds a Year which is full of info you may or many not want to know about that particular bodily function.
