Projects Under $5,000 Winner: Powder Room Makeover

Patience and a creative eye were the keys to this powder room transformation. Jackie Kalin of Valparaiso, Indiana, updated the flooring, paneling, vanity, and toilet, then glued flat-back glass gems to the walls above the wainscoting. To make the tree, she cut mirrors and art glass into the desired shapes and glued them in place, then filled in around the tree with gems.
