New Christmas Decorate with Me 2025 Budget Friendly Bathroom Makeover with Mirrormate

Hey everyone, welcome back to my channel or if you are new here for the first time then hello, welcome. In today's video we're filming a bathroom makeover and Christmas decorate with me here in our a little kiddos bathroom. So here's some before footage of what the bathroom looked like. We are not going to be demoing anything so this is going to be very budget friendly. We're not going to be replacing the vanity or anything and here is the items that I got for this bathroom makeover so you can see the color scheme and what we're going for. The first thing that I'm going to do is remove the shower curtain in here which I know a lot of you are probably going to be sad about this. I get so many questions about that shower curtain and unfortunately it is unavailable so I can't link it. I did get a new shower curtain rod, some new hooks and curtains itself from Amazon. Here you will see the reality of trying to film with kiddos. They pulled down the camera so I had to set it back up but I'm just going to be putting the new hooks and the curtains onto the rod. I really wanted to warm this space up so I am going to be adding a lot of brushed gold details. As you can see we have a lot of the brushed nickel in here and we are going to be changing most of those things out. These shower curtains were really affordable on Amazon and I do also have the liner to go behind this. I just didn't put it on for the video. We almost never use this shower. We only use it for bath time so the liner does not need to be on right now. I am going to try and take some of the wrinkles out of here by steaming it. I love the look of having tall shower curtains. It really elevates the space and makes it feel like it's bigger because this bathroom is pretty small. I had thought about adding a pop of color in here with the shower curtains and doing like a burgundy color but I decided against it so you'll have to let me know if you think I should have added that pop of color or if you like me keeping it neutral. We did also get this new faucet on Amazon. This faucet was $20 which is crazy to me. I knew that I wasn't going to find a faucet this cheap at Lowe's or Home Depot so I went ahead and bought that one. We're also removing the towel ring that is brushed nickel and I did get the new one on Amazon of course. I will have everything that I can linked in the description box down below and shout out to my husband for always making my projects come to life. This was the first project we have done in what feels like years so it was kind of nice to get back into it especially with having a little chaotic life. I am going to change out the hardware on the current vanity that we have in this bathroom. This vanity that came with our house drives me absolutely crazy because there's no drawers and we had thought about changing it out and buying a new one at Home Depot or Lowe's but I wanted to keep this very budget-friendly for now and maybe eventually we can replace it out. Because we didn't replace the vanity I didn't want to replace the whole entire mirror so I am teaming up with Mirror Mate for this video. If you have never heard of Mirror Mate before you can transform your mirror with a custom frame in less than 30 minutes with one of their easy install frame kits. So here my husband is just going to unbox everything and then we are going to put together the frame. We went with the Cherokee barnwood frame in the slim. There are so many colors and styles to pick from there is truly something for everyone. Assembling the frame was very easy to do. My husband was able to do it in a few short minutes. We just brought it over to our kitchen so we had more room to work with. Upon opening the frame I was pleasantly surprised with the color. I was a little bit worried that it wouldn't go with our bathroom but I am so happy with how it turned out. The stain detailing is perfect and exactly what I was going for. Like I had mentioned I wanted to add some warmth to the space and this frame choice did just that. If you want to elevate your bathroom without having to get a whole new mirror definitely check out Mirror Mate. I will have a link to their website below. Now that the frame is built my husband is taking some rubbing alcohol and cleaning the edges of our mirror so that we have a nice prepped canvas for putting the frame on. While the glue on the frame sets my husband is going to install our new light fixture. I was so happy to see this builder grade light fixture go bye-bye. We got the new one at Lowe's and I will have it linked down below for you. I'm so lucky and happy that I have a husband who can do all these things so we don't have to call an electrician or anything like that to do these projects. We actually had to take our original box with our new light fixture back to Lowe's because upon opening the box one of the pieces was broken which was kind of a bummer but we just took it back and got a new one. This light fixture can be positioned up or down. We went with having it down but that's entirely up to your style and what you prefer. Once the light fixture has been installed we're going to install our frame around the mirror. We are first just placing it on here to see what it looks like and get a size reference. They include these foam sticky mounting supports in the box that you put on there so it allows you to dry fit the mirror before you take all of the sticky backing off and actually apply it to the mirror. Next we're just removing all of these sticky backings on the back of the mirror before we get to actually installing it. And that is how simple it was to install our new MirrorMate frame. I could not be happier with how it turned out and I highly recommend checking them out if you have wanted to elevate your bathroom but don't want to spend the money on getting a whole new mirror. Thank you so much to MirrorMate for sponsoring today's video. I will have a link to shop in the description box down below like I mentioned and make sure to let me know what you guys think of it in the comments down below. We did also get some new towel hooks at Lowe's. I had originally wanted to get them on Amazon and I did buy some but come to find out they were just sticky which they would have never held up on our textured wall so we got these at Lowe's. They aren't an exact match for the brushed gold throughout the rest of the bathroom but they will have towels on them pretty often so it doesn't really matter. I am changing out the bath mat in here to one that fits the space a little better because our old one did not fit the space it was way too big. This is the Viral bath mat from Amazon that so many people love. I will have it linked below. I did get a new tissue box holder from Amazon as well. I originally went with this camel brown color and I ended up not liking it at all so I ended up ordering a new one that is a more neutral tan color. Now for styling the vanity I took this travertine tray that I got from Wayfair and I'm just styling a few things on top for Christmas. I wanted to see how this wood tray looked so you'll see that I swapped everything out really quickly to see which one I liked better and I definitely liked the travertine tray but let me know which one was your favorite in the comments below. As for the other side I'm going to change out the soap dispenser so that it's not so matchy matchy. I believe I got the one that I'm using from Amazon and I will have it linked below if I can. I wanted to add this little wooden stool that I got from Walmart which is unfortunately unavailable and they've never brought it back but I will try to find something similar and link it for you. I'm then adding in this cute little Christmas tree that I also got from Walmart. I shared this over on my Instagram and I love the way that this looks. Next I'm going to take some rub and buff in the color gold leaf. I did get this from Hobby Lobby and I'm using this on the handles of the closet that is in the bathroom. I didn't want to leave them the brushed nickel color because you can see them. I'm also going to be using this on the trim of the shower that is in that brushed nickel just to add that little bit of warmth. To finish off the bathroom I am adding some artwork which I actually went back and added a Christmas artwork piece that is a little silly goose which I thought was perfect because I call our oldest foster babe a silly goose all the time and speaking of that I'm also taking this artwork my mom found for me at Hobby Lobby that has a little silly goose on it with a red frame and I'm just going to be adding that to the floating shelves in their room adding in a small little Christmas touches. I also found the most adorable Christmas outfits at Carter's so I'm taking the two sweaters for the two girls and I'm hanging them onto the floating shelves. I'm still undecided but I think I want to put a full-size Christmas tree in their room but we shall see. I'm going to get the rest of the house decorated and see what I have left. We have like four Christmas trees but I honestly don't remember what all of them look like so I need to see which Christmas tree I'm going to put up in our bedroom and then go from there but this little Christmas tree from Walmart was the perfect addition for this corner. I also found this step to my first Christmas tree at Target. I can't remember where I saw this but the second I saw it I knew I had to get it for our oldest. I just thought it looked so cute next to the other Christmas tree that I put in this corner. So that is going to be it. I hope that you guys enjoyed this bathroom makeover and Christmas decorate with me. Like I said make sure to let me know what you think of it in the comments below. It is not a complete reno or anything but a nice budget-friendly makeover.
