It can sometimes seem like an overwhelming task to update a bathroom that lacks personality and character. Especially when you’re starting with stock materials that are bland and boring to begin with. You know, those vanities and cabinets that every contractor gets when doing a remodel? Yawn…

Well our retailer Robin Burpee of Chicken Coop Treasures in Kalamazoo, MI had the perfect remedy for plain bathroom cabinets. Here’s what she started with:

Oh yikes. Did we forget to mention Robin was updating the entire bathroom at the same time? Focus your attention on that cabinet on the wall. Look familiar? Have one in your home? Wood has its place, but every time we see this orangy fake wood it just makes us cry a little inside. Thank you, Robin, for showing us the light.

After putting a coat of Manor White Mud Paint (which already made a HUGE difference!) Robin took 8 C7 corners and used them to dress up the inside corners of the cabinet doors.

Simple upgrades gave this bathroom a ton of personality and pizzaz. A once stock cabinet now looks like an expensive custom-made piece of furniture all thanks to some bendable latex corners.
