Whew!
I can finally show you pictures of the Master Bath Remodel that I recently finished for my clients (and friends). I went looking back through my pictures to find the "Befores" and WOW! A lot of life has happened during this remodel! Anniversaries, New Puppies (my client's),
Summer vacations...
It just goes to show you that the world doesn't stop just because you get busier, you just start juggling!
Let's take a look at the Before, then the During and THEN the Ahhhhh's (I hope!) of the Afters!

Here is what the Master Bath looked like when the home was up for sale. It's a very spacious room measuring about 17' deep by 12' wide. It has tall ceilings and a skylight. The main problems for the new homeowners was the short cabinet height, poor lighting, outdated shower and tile. The previous homeowners had done a lot of remodeling but had yet to tackle the bathroom. Our plan was to replace the vanities, the vanity tops, add lighting, put in a new tub, re-tile the shower and tub surround, paint and add trim molding, and add new hardware. We wanted to do all of this while keeping the same footprint of the bathroom.
Here it is on Moving Day.
Miss Beaux's job was take pictures of each room.
I ended up with a LOT of selfies! Teenagers!
My BFF and I spent a day at Barnes and Noble armed with our IPADs and Venti Starbucks and access to all of the shelter mags and books there. We planned and sketched and made preliminary design decisions. You can read about that HERE. Of course things tend to change along the way and that's normal.
We hired a contractor, selected all of our materials, met with the cabinet company and the project was in full force around the Fourth of July weekend.
Out with the old shower! Which turned out to be a good decision! There was a leak and it was terribly moldy underneath! ICK!!!
Teeny cabinets are gone! Can you believe they were only 32 inches tall? The floor was protected as we were keeping the existing tile.
A new tub was installed along with the His and Hers vanities. And a taller half wall was built between the shower and tub.
Paint colors: Walls~ Sherwin Williams Patience 7555 (flat)
Cabinets and Trim: Benjamin Moore White Dove (enamel)
The cabinet company built the vanities and then the construction crew put up the crown molding and trim before the marble was set. I drew out the preliminary cabinet design and then some things changed during the process. We wanted to have a sitdown makeup station but we also wanted the uppers on her side for extra storage. Storage won out! The upper cabinet design also changed from being open with mesh or chicken wire to mirrored with the custom mullions that you see in this photo. That changed our look a little bit to more of a Glam Hollywood look.

And Finally..... The finished room!!!
The 3X6 Crema Marfil marble tiles were laid in a staggered brick pattern in the shower and around the tub. We added trim around the tub for a more beefed up look.
I love this beautiful glass shower enclosure. The basketweave on the floor was added as an accent to the shower wall and surrounded with pencil trim.
I love this detail! Very Spa-like!
On His vanity side we built the lights into the molding. We added fluting to the sides of the main cabinet and bumped it out a bit for interest. The great thing about these vanities are the soft glide drawers and cabinets. When you close them they stop at the very end and softly close themselves!
On Her side we placed the sconces directly on the mirror and bumped out the center of the vanity for more counter space. The old chandelier was too small so we relocated it to another room. This is the dining room chandy. We put it here temporarily while we look for a really cool Drum shade chandy.
Swoon!
Or maybe this one!
How soft and beautiful is this Crema Marfil Marble!
I just want to hug it! We kept the faucets as they worked with our design and we saved money there.
And added new hardware in brushed nickel.
We replaced the brass door hardware with brushed nickel hardware.
How Glam is this shower door handle? It's the little details that make you the happiest sometimes!
