Extreme Makeover Bathroom Edition: The Reveal!

I am SO EXCITED to share pictures of our newly remodeled bathroom with you today!  This project is FINALLY done with shower door being installed yesterday! (Remember, my blog post from March about this project?!)  Well, regardless of how long it took, we absolutely love our bathroom! 

Remember this bathroom?!

Now check this out!!

If you see anything you like, are curious where we found the idea or got the supplies, let me know and I'll get you the information!

Our vanity sits where the toilet and built in shelf used to sit (picture directly above.)  We completely re-did the layout of our bathroom which was a great decision!

Our cabinets are all custom made out of walnut - I love them!  We incorporated so much storage.  My cupboards aren't even full!

We have a local custom surfaces company that we worked with in town for our granite counter tops.  They do fantastic work!

To lighten up the room some, since we chose dark wood, I had glass inserts put into the doors.

Kind of funny to include a picture of our toilet but moving our toilet to the opposite corner of the room was a good move.  Now when you look into the bathroom you don't see the toilet.

Glass doors are definitely the way to go on a shower.  It seems so much bigger.  Apparently not many bathrooms have a combined tub and shower, but since this is our only bathroom (besides the half bath on the main floor) this was necessary.

I LOVE this shower inset that we included.  It saved space in the shower and added a little bit of dimension and interest!

Thanks for sticking with me on this project... I bet you were wondering if you were ever going to see after pictures!

What do you think?!

I Found It!

Our bathroom remodel project is progressing quickly meaning that we may be able to paint this week!  Our tile, accent tile and granite are picked out, but I've been looking for a color pallet.  I knew exactly what I wanted, I just needed to see it first! (have you ever had that happen - the, "I'll know it when I see it" thought?)  Well, I FOUND IT!

Now, I just need to decide between the light blue (color at the very bottom) or one of the off-white (I refuse to say beige) at the top accented with light blue and and deep grey (middle color) towels.  I am thinking of adding a splash of dark pink just to spice things up! Any thoughts?

 

I'm sure you have seen these beautiful color pallets all over Pinterest, but have you stopped by to check out their website?  It is so fun and interactive plus they give you the HEX codes to re-create the color!

Bathroom Remodel Inspiration

It's fun seeing our bathroom come together, it's like a suprise every night when I come home!  The tub/shower is now framed up and installed and the tile will start to go in next week. 

Since I mentioned in my Extreme Makeover: Bathroom Edition! post that we were able to start completely over, here is a look at some of my bathroom remodel inspiration!

Cabinets & Cupboards

Via

I love the glass inserts in the cabinet/closet doors.  The cabinets in our bathroom will have frosted glass inserts.  This will help to keep our space light and create the illusion of space.

Vanity "Extra"

Via

I love jewelry and since I am a Lia Sophia advisor, I have plenty of it.  This is going to be built into our custom made vanity. 

Shower Built-In

Via

 This picture is basically what our tub and shower will look like.  Tiled shower surround with glass doors.  We also will have a built-in ledge in the shower just like the one in this picture.

Tile

 Here is the tile that we chose!  The off-white tile will be on the floor and shower surround.  The glass tile will go in the built-in ledge and behind the sink.

I hope you've enjoyed the sneak peak of my bathroom inspiration.  For more bathroom inspiration, check out my Bathroom Remodel board on Pinterest! We still need to choose our towel racks, lighting and other accessories, but our plans are coming together nicely!

Have a great weekend friends!

Extreme Makeover: Bathroom Edition!

In case you haven't been following Design Your Dwelling on Facebook, you probably haven't heard that our bathroom is getting a makeover!  Yep, that's right a complete face-lift!  ( I secretly wish that the people from HGTV's "Bath Crashers" would show up)

Here is what our bathroom looked like pre-makeover!

We were in the process of packing up the bathroom, if you can't tell! :)

The bathroom was very 70's with the mint green, vanity and mirrors.  We are ready to replace the wooden floors with tile floors.

Here is what our bathroom (construction zone) looks like now.  

When we removed the toilet, the date stamped inside the tank was from the 1950's! Do you think it's about time for a new one?!

Since our bathroom was gutted, we had the opportunity to start completely start over and create a new layout.  Our bathroom is actually pretty large for bathroom standards, 9' x 11' 1/2". Here is the rough sketch that Adam drew up for us!

Here is what's next:

New floor plan

Replace sheet rock & ceiling

New plumbing and electrical work

All new lighting & bathroom fan

Custom built vanity, closet and cupboards

Replace wood floor with tile

Tile the shower

Glass shower doors

New mirrors

New bathtub, toilet and hardware

Whew - what a list!  Basically everything is going to be replaced and updated.

Coming up next, I'll share some of my bathroom design inspiration with you!
