Master Bathroom Remodel

I can't believe it has been a full year since the remodel began on our master suite.

Here is the inspiration board I put together to show the Interior Designer for the Master Bathroom:

And this is what the bathroom looked like when we started:

Straight from the 90s. White tile, tiny shower that made me feel claustrophobic, seashell patterned tile around the whirlpool tub, honey oak cabinets and trim, one large builder grade mirror. Not my favorite look.

I brought in an Interior Designer to help me with the design plan. This is always the very first step in my remodel projects, find out why in this blog post.

I knew I wanted to rip out the shower and install new tile and open it up more. She helped me pick new tile, a gorgeous marble looking tile that would also flow through to the whirpool tub as well. She helped decide on new flooring and which way it would run in the room, which is something you need to consider with wood planks.

As far as the vanity area, I wanted to paint the cabinets a blue color, and she agreed. We decided on Poolhouse by Sherwin Williams. Then she said that I could pull the shiplap plank look from the bedroom to coordinate in the bathroom by adding it behind the mirrors. I loved that idea! I wasn't sure what to pick for the wall color in the bathroom, and she picked Canvas Tan from Sherwin Williams, which is a nice neutral tan color.

After all the planning and hard work, here is what it looks like now:

I added the shiplap myself and painted it, along with the walls, cabinets, and trim. For the cabinets, I really wanted to change a few things like I swapped out the old hinges for new hidden hinges, which meant drilling new hardware holes. I also wanted to hide my hair tools inside the cabinet, so I had an electrician swap out the electrical box from the outside of the cabinet to the inside.

We hired contractors for the plumbing, electrical work, removing the old shower, installing the new tile and glass shower doors, and installing the flooring.

I also swapped out the light above the tub from a recessed light to a pendant, you can find out more about that in this blog post.

This cute shelf is new and hangs above the toilet for extra storage. The Interior Designer that I hired owns a home decor store as well, and she selected this item for me. It fits perfect and adds some height and storage in the space.
