Master bathroom and closet reveal.

Another week, another reveal!
The master bathroom and closet before was in a major need of an update.

Ick!

I wish I had a wide angle lens so I could capture more of the room in one shot.


You'll just have to trust me that there wasn't much worth saving.


The layout of this master en suite had the shower and loo separated by a sliding partition door.
Then the closet and sink in the other.


AFTER:


We moved a wall to increase the space 2 1/2 feet and put everything in one room.
There also used to not be a door that separated the en suite from the bedroom.  
Adding a door has been one of my favorite additions (for obvious reasons).


We found this cool new ceramic tile that looks VERY similar to wood flooring.
If I had to do it over again I would have made the grout a little darker and would have laid it in a herringbone  pattern.



Still need some art above the throne...working on that.






I showed a picture of some closet organizers I wanted to our contractor.  He said it would cost a lot more for him to build them then to just get them from Ikea.  So far they've worked out nicely.


I am in love with these PAX organizers from Ikea.  They are perfect for jewelry, hair accessories, etc.




HUGE thanks to Michelle Rasmussen of Wondertime Photo for the after shots.

Wow! Looks great! I love how open your closet is. We're gearing up to have our master bath renovated and we picked the same sinks you have. They look great and I love the rectangle shape for a change :) Nice job!

OMG I had the same exact cabinet in my bathroom! How funny! It must have been that era or something. The new transformation looks great though. Good job!

I'm glad you used the wood tile. I've been considering it for my entire downstairs! Thanks for providing us with a link!

mlbdesign said...

Beautiful job, and I totally love the floor and fixtures! Wondering your thought process on having the clothes in the bathroom? makes organizational sense, but even in a large room do you find a problem with moisture/dampness from those nice hot showers? I find that the most interesting thing about design blogging is the chance to read about how design decisions get translated into the real world! Cheers!

Gorgeouse closet update. Love all the finishes and details.

Dancinglampshade said...

I loooove your house and your design taste. About your bathroom tile grout colour......did you know you can get a special grout stain to change the colour of the grout? My husband is a flooring installer, and he's stained grout with great success. Maybe if you went to a flooring store, they'd be able to help you out with that. The actual staining process is something a DIYer like you could do yourself. Just an idea, in case you hadn't heard of that. Beautiful bathroom, though. Love.

I was just wondering what kind of drain you used in the shower. I can't seem to see anything in the center of the shower so I assume you used a trench drain. But then again I can only see part of the shower....ha ha ha! Love your blog! :)

OMG, can I please live in your bathroom? Absolutely stunning! The color for the grout is perfect and the tile is to die for. I love the layout . . . The herringbone would have been amazing too! By the way, headed over here from Better After.

Ashley said...

I am sure this has already been said but I LOVE your bathroom. Awesome job. I have 2 old bathrooms that need work. I also have a closet that needs organization/storage units. I may be browsing Ikea now that I see how amazing it looks!
