Masterbath Renovation
Centsational Girl is having a link up party of bathrooms before and after. She just re-vamped her friends bathroom, and what a difference it made. And she did it in 8 hours…superwoman! It looks beautiful, you should go check it out. When I saw her bathroom remodel, I realized that I have never shown the before and after pictures of Shannon and Nate’s master bathrooms that I renovated.
The master bath. Oh me oh my. This bathroom had some good qualities to it. Two sinks, lots of counter space and storage underneath. The size of the vanity area was perfect. It had good bones but needed updating. On the chopping block was the dated counter tops, the color of the honey oak cabinets, Hollywood bar light fixture, muddy brown looking floor tile and contractor faucets. The one thing that needed addressing the most, was the shower toilet room. When you opened the door it almost hit the shower and toilet. Then once you got in the bathroom, you would have to close the door in order to use the toilet. It was super squishy and poorly designed. Once I got in there and accessed the situation, I noticed there was some wasted space in the vanity area next to the window. Since the wall between the toilet and vanity wasn’t structural, I had the contractor move the wall out 16″, closer to the window and install a pocket door instead of a swing door which saved even more space.
Powder Room Updated
Thought I would give a little update on my daughter and son-n-laws renovation project that has been keeping me so busy. Wanna see the lovely before of the powder room? If you are squeamish I would scroll down really fast and get to the good part.
Can you see the disgusting flith these people left this place in? Yuck, yuck yuck. Now that we have gotten past the grossness, look at the layout of the counter top. Dont’ you just love the white Formica top, and how they continued the beautification all the way behind the toilet? (they call that a banjo style I guess) And don’t forget the beautiful octagon mirror that is centered above the sink, and the hollywood style lighting is centered to what? {Yep that is me in the mirror taking the picture, I wanted to get the whole messy room and that was the only way to achieve it. Not real fond of this picture, but it is all I had} But not to worry, the powder room is all fixed now.
I had the oak cabinet stained dark, added a quartz counter top (but left off the banjo of course) and moved the lighting to allow for the two sconces that flank the mirror. The sink and faucet I purchased from Overstock.com, my new bestest friend when you do a remodel. The wall sconces are from Lampsplus.com I used a suede wall paper on all the walls, the color is elephant. I just happened to have some left over from doing my house, which lucky for them was just enough to do their whole powderoom. And I mean just enough! The mirror I got at a consignment shop here locally in San Diego.
