The private toilet room is such a luxury! This bathroom has so much storage and my favorite little touch is that a laundry basket can fit perfectly in the nook. The shower could not be more perfect! I am so happy that we created these built-in shelving units to maximize the bathroom organization, too. This will make the bathroom a little less formal and add a rustic touch. □ We reused the mirror that was in the old guest bathroom and will build a custom frame around it. I am thinking we will distress wood and add a dark stain. We still have a few tasks to complete in this bathroom, but like most of our other projects, we are 95% there. The tiles tend to be better quality at a tile-specific store and it never hurts to ask! I priced out the tiles that I wanted at Home Depot and then went to the Tile Shop where they price matched and I saved close to $1,000! TIP: Price out the tiles you want at Home Depot or Lowe’s and ask a tile store to price match. For the floor, I chose a hexagon tile and dark grout. I wanted the color to be relaxing so we went a calming blue gray color, Silver Crest by Benjamin Moore.įor the tiles, I went with a classic look with subway tiles and herringbone for the shower. Next on the to-do list was to pick out paint & tile. We decided to install a pocket door to maximize space in the bathroom. The private toilet room is underway! The window gives the room great light and also allowed us to not have to install another fan in the bathroom. You can see the closet entry has been closed up and the entrance into our new master bathroom. Here is a snapshot of the master bath from our bedroom. At this point, I am 6 months pregnant and need to put these bathrooms back together before our baby arrives! We quickly hired out the plumbing and electrical updates and installed the drywall ASAP. We were so grateful for drywall since our last home had plaster walls and was not as easy to remove! Demolition was pretty easy and these three spaces were torn out in just 24 hours. Once we finalized the floor plan, we wanted to get to work right away. The original master bedroom closet became a small guest bathroom. Essentially we combined both bathrooms to become the master bathroom and closet. The floor plan below is very close to the plan we went with (and includes everything on my wish list), but we flipped the guest bathroom layout so the door is on the other side of the room. Closet large enough for both of our clothes.The biggest challenge of this project was re-configuring the layout. The closet is behind the bifold door and the bathroom is behind the mirrored door. Unfortunately, I do not have better photos of the master closet and bathroom, but you can see the entrances from the master bedroom in this image. Once we had a working shower, we got to work on our upstairs bathrooms! I was already 6 months pregnant, so the goal was to complete this project in 4-6 weeks. This project would take our two full bathrooms out of commission so our first major project was adding a full bathroom to our basement. Since the bathrooms and closet were butted up to each other, we wanted to completely reconfigure the space to make each room more functional. Our poor son had to take lukewarm baths for the first few months of living in our home. The guest bathroom had so much wasted space and there was something wrong with the hot water in the bathtub. The master bathroom had a single sink and a small shower with a very low showerhead. The closet in our third home was large enough to hold most of my clothes, but Chris had to use the closet in the nursery. I am so mad at myself for not taking before photos of the bathrooms before demolition! To give you a better idea of the layout, I did a quick drawing to show the two bathrooms (not drawn to actual square footage): I am so excited to take you through my favorite project of our third house, the master bathroom renovation! Our previous house had an amazing master closet and master bathroom, so when we moved into our new house, the outdated and small master bathroom and closet were NOT ideal.
