Master Bath

It's kind of hard not to jump around with this whole blog. The reality of it is, that's how things go around our house... we have 10 projects going at one time. Next weekend we hope to hang our curtains in our master bedroom, so I thought it was finally time to reveal the master bathroom. Hubby gave me a new master bathroom for a wedding present before I moved into the house. I can't think of a more perfect gift!

Here is the before. Obviously previous owner's stuff. One tiny sink. No storage and maroon tile. And that little light you see, was the only lighting besides a dingy ceiling fixture.


Right outside the bathroom there were built in drawers. The old school kind without rollers... we tore them out and made this area part of the bathroom so we could have a double vanity.

Props to hubby who did ALL the demo. The tile was layed in this concrete backed by mesh. It was really impossible to tear it all out.

Here you can see the studs that divided the bathroom and the little area with the built ins.

I won't miss that wallpaper

Time to get to work! We had a contractor do the drywall, but we layed all the tile ourselves.

Getting there. Tiling those niches was a major pain... but so worth it now that its finished.

Since we tiled to the ceiling, we went ahead and put in an extra tall shower curtain. You can really see how tall our ceilings are. We also added crown molding and grey paint.

Recessed cans. Not so dark in the shower anymore : )

Beautiful shower

Double vanity I purchased at: http://www.directtoyoufurniture.com/product.aspx?ID=195237&CatID=1393&s_cid=nxt195237 ... It's a knockoff of Restoration Hardware... a little scary having something that big shipped in the mail but it was flawless and 1/3 of the price.
Mirrors I got a Lowes, Sconces are from Restoration Hardware, and faucets are Delta Victoria widespread in chrome finish.
Quite a transformation don't you think??? We are so pleased with the way it turned out.
