Addition Update…the Bathroom
A major reason we added on to our home was because of our need for another bathroom and bedroom. Our house had a master with a bathroom attached, but it was really small and since we knew we were going to add on, we decided to go with the master suite. It has been fun and stressful, deciding on all our finishes and layout for the bathroom. We decided to splurge on the shower and although it has been a labor of love and tears, it has turned out beautiful. I am really excited. After sharing a bathroom with the kids for over a year, I can say, I am SO APPRECIATIVE of privacy and my own space.
Here are some highlights…
I love how this turned out around the bathtub…I went with the brick pattern with the tile and I am really pleased…
This is our beautiful glass (if you have any cleaning tips let me know). I love it. FLAT OUT LOVE IT! You can also see that we have several options..
one shower head, a handheld and another shower head. Again, this was our splurge!
Our fixtures are tuscan bronze from Price Pfister. We bought them all off of ebay and saved a mint!
Our inset…
We turned the floor on a diagonal and I am really pleased with how it turned out.
The mirrors have been my nemesis. Because we centered our sinks on the cabinets, the space to fit the mirrors is tight. I wanted separate mirrors and between getting the right size and
the right color….it has been a challenge.
These are mirrors #9 and #10..
Excuse the wonky pic, it is turned on my computer but not on wordpress.
Option #7 and #8 would need to be painted black with some distressing of the oil rubbed color..not sure exactly how to pull it off.
What do you think?
This is a big weekend for us to finish out a lot! We are working on painting trim, finishing the trim, finishing the landscaping, sanding drywall and painting touch ups…
We are so close!
Kelly, it is absolutely beautiful!!!!!!! Hey, we have a glass shower (not NEAR as nice as yours BUT…) every time we shower we have a squeegie (I think that’s what you call it, bought it at Bed, Bath and Beyond) and use it to swipe off the water. It helps so much to keep water spots forming. Also the Mr. Clean eraser sponges work great.
Kelly! Its wonderful!! All this and Disney too! What a year for you guys! On distressing that mirror – paint it the color you want and let it dry. Then with a rag go over it and light rub the highlight color into it. Let it dry for just a but and then rub some off. Or you can use the dry brush method when after you have painted the primary color and let it dry you use a dry brush. You dip only the ends in a very little amount of paint and then dab almost all of it off then you just drag it around the frame. And for those glass walls, clean them first with foam shaving cream. It will leave behind a sheen that anything else should just roll off of. My grandmother swears by this!
It looks great!!! Personally, I like the oval mirrors. There are so many hard lines in the room with the tiles, the tub and shower lines, the lines in the cabinets…so I think the oval mirrors would be a nice contrast and would also mimick the lines of the sinks. The distressed finish would be nice, too! Really either will look great! Thanks for sharing the progress!
Kelly,
Wow, it looks amazing! I can’t wait to see the finished product. Looks as if you have a great talent with remodeling and decor. Love the size of your shower, what a nice splurge!
What a gorgeous bathroom, it looks beautiful! I’m sure you have decided now, but I like the oval mirrors also. Our current bathroom looks a lot like this (similar granite & same faucets) and we have very similar looking oval mirrors from Lowes, but they came in a black with a rubbed bronze finish. Our vanity is the same exact lay-out as yours. I bet you are really enjoying this new space! Blessings!
