1. Create shiplap
First, we created shiplap using 1/8" MDF. To do this, we cut the MDF into strips, ensuring each strip had a nickel gap spacing.
This method provided a consistent and professional look to the shiplap.
Once the strips were ready, we installed them on the walls, ensuring they were evenly spaced and securely attached.
2. Paint the walls
Next, we painted the walls a lovely deep blue color. This bold choice added depth and character to the room, making the shiplap pop even more.
The deep blue provided a perfect contrast to the clean lines of the shiplap and created a sophisticated atmosphere.
3. Install wainscoting
For the wainscoting, we used 1x4 boards. These boards were primed and painted to match the shiplap and walls.
We carefully measured and cut each board to fit the lower portion of the walls.
After installing the wainscoting, we touched up the paint to ensure a seamless and polished finish.
4. Make DIY wall vases
Finally, we made DIY wall vases to add a touch of greenery and life to the room.
These vases were mounted on the walls, adding an element of nature and freshness to the space. The wall vases were a simple yet effective way to personalize the bathroom and make it feel inviting.
5. Add shelves
In addition to the structural changes, we also added some decorative elements to enhance the overall look.
We built and installed shelves to provide additional storage and display space. These shelves were painted to match the deep blue walls, creating a cohesive look.

By following these steps, we were able to achieve a beautiful, modern makeover for our powder bathroom.
The combination of shiplap, wainscoting, shelves, and wall vases resulted in a stunning transformation that we absolutely love.

Great job. How long did that take you and what cost?

Oh it didn’t take me more than a week and since it’s just a small space I bet it cost no more than $200 (not including paint)
