Check out our martini-themed DIY bathroom makeover! With olive wallpaper, a vibrant DIY French bobbin mirror, and martini decor, this has become my new favorite room in the house!

A before and after of our martini-themed bathroom!

This powder room is the most used bathroom in our home and I wanted it to be funky and fun every time someone steps foot in it. Plus, I love a small space makeover, as evidenced by my Italian Italian-inspired patio Makeover. Even small spaces deserve some TLC!

The inspiration behind the bathroom came when I found this Lemon and Olive themed wallpaper. As soon as I saw the paper I fell in love with it and knew it was the perfect statement-making wallpaper. Plus, I love a good cocktail theme!

Before and After:

The before:

This bathroom has great bones! It’s got a giant window on the west-facing wall and a large pedestal sink. This is the only bathroom on our first floor and gets used often, so I wanted to make it a little more inviting! I built out a little mood board that matched the vibe of our home and set out a plan!

The After:

I took my favorite elements from the mood board and got to see them become reality over a pretty short period of time! I absolutely love how the olive wallpaper is a subtle nod to martinis, but then the martini accents really drive it home. Check out the specific pieces I worked on down below.

The Olive with a Twist Wallpaper:

I found this Olive with a Twist wallpaper on Chasing Paper. It comes in two different colors (black and white) and considering I was only doing one wall, it was relatively affordable. I went with the peel and stick option for installation ease and in case I wanted to change it out easily. I don’t have any plans of changing it out, it’s super cute and we love it! My brother and I put it up in just about an hour and we did just an accent wall. I thought about doing all the walls but my stress levels weren’t up to tackling the wall with the sink and toilet…

DIY French Bobbin Mirror

I loved the idea of doing bold red accents with the wallpaper. Anytime I tie in red to my home decor it instantly makes a room feel more french to me, which is what I’m going for. We tied the red elements in with the checkered curtains and a DIY Red Bobbin Mirror that I created.

Stay tuned in next week to see how we turned this $900 mirror into a DIY masterpiece for less than $60!

Martini Accents

We tied in a few other martini elements to keep the aesthetic going. I needle-pointed a martini glass with similar colors to the bathroom’s color palette. I also got this seashell martini print from Etsy to put in a large gold frame on one of the walls.

Additional Bathroom Accessories:

So what do you think?! I’m absolutely in love with it and I think it matches our playful yet sophisticated vibe. My goal is for all of my guests to feel comfortable, and I think this small DIY bathroom makeover makes a big difference!
