Modern Boho Farmhouse Bathroom Makeover Reveal
Today I’m sharing the before and after reveal of our basement bathroom: a modern boho farmhouse bathroom makeover reveal featuring Golden Select Vinyl Plank flooring.
This is one of my favourite makeovers yet! I may have said that when I shared our kitchen, or our main bathroom reveal, or even the family room makeover. But truly, the transformation of this basement bathroom was quick, easier than we expected, and made an unbelievable difference! I was really excited to have the chance to partner with Golden Select for our basement floor renovation project, and if you’ve seen our family room reveal then you know what a huge difference the new vinyl plank flooring made in that space. Extending the same flooring throughout the basement hallway and into the bathroom truly transformed the whole lower level of our home. I’ll be sharing all the DIY details on how we laid this flooring directly over the old tile in a few days time. Today is all about the fun before and afters of giving the forest house bathroom a completely new look!
A couple of days ago I shared the before of this bathroom space, along with the design plan…
Head over here to read about our plans/process and see all the before pics
Here is what we did:
- Removed the old vanity and took the toilet out in order to lay the flooring
- Painted all the walls a nice, medium neutral gray (very similar to Gray Owl by Benjamin Moore)
- Installed shiplap on the walls behind the vanity as well as either side of it (using the same Metric Complete shiplap as we used in this project).
- Replaced the ceramic tile flooring by laying Golden Select Smokey Barrel vinyl plank right over top of it, like we were doing in the rest of the basement (you can see how we did that in our family room makeover here). These floors are available at Costco in Canada.
- Installed all new baseboards and trim.
- Install a new vanity with a built in sink/stone countertop – we chose the same one from Lowes that we used in the main bathroom renovation but ordered it in the 36″ size.
- Sourced a round mirror, some boho art and accessories, and turkish towels as decor. I just shopped the house for the rest of the decor finds!

After…
We did have one little complication when we took the vanity out, and realized that the plumbing actually came in through the side wall, and that since our new vanity was going to be free standing we would have a black plumbing pipe leading from the side wall into the vanity that would be very visible. To solve this issue, we built a little box out of the same shiplap as the walls and installed it around the pipe so that at least it blends in with the rest of the space. You can see it to the left of the vanity in the picture below:

Despite a couple of minor setbacks (like the pipe and the fact the toilet was set much further out then we had realized, it was actually a pretty quick project and we were so happy with how it turned out! So much brighter, cleaner, fresher, and with a fun aesthetic that matches the rest of the forest house design. We absolutely love the vinyl plank flooring we chose – it was easy to install (watch for that DIY tutorial coming soon), and is so simple to keep clean. I also love that we don’t have to worry about water at all, being in the basement and right into the bathroom and laundry area. Check out the Golden Select products at your local Costco if you are looking for a beautiful, affordable, DIY flooring choice!
