You will not believe your eyes when you see this before and after master bathroom remodel. To call this a transformation would be an understatement. Every square inch of this master bathroom was gutted to make way for a beautiful larger space. Get your eyes ready, because you will not believe how this bathroom looked in its original state.
I mean, who really thought carpet in a bathroom was ever a good idea? The amount of germs that was living in that carpet gives me the chills. I have never seen a client so excited to tear out carpet before, and I don’t blame her.
Everything in this space was brown. From the carpet, to the tile, to the old aged brass (not in a good way) faucet and hardware. The closet was taking up significant space when there was already a huge closet in the bedroom. If you are wondering what type of shower that is, that right there is a roman soaking tub, a.k.a hold on for dear life when you are climbing in and out of the tub to take a shower. Glossy tiles on a shower floor are never a safe idea unless they are tiny and have a good amount of grout area to reduce slipping. All of the bad tile and carpet was taking away from the many positive aspects of this bathroom.
And now, feast your eyes on this new beauty.
To highlight the height of the bathroom I brought the white subway tile all the way up to the ceiling. This helped draw your eye up the wall and also reflected the great amount of light the original skylight provided. Whenever you can with tile, always take it to the ceiling. The drama it adds, even with the simplest white subway tile, is memorable.
Since the client loved to take baths, I removed the closet to make way for the biggest tub I have used in a bathroom yet. It was a double wide two person soaker tub. Heaven on earth. The wall on the tub side also had the beautiful pitched ceiling, so we match the shower side and brought the tile to the ceiling. This allowed us to feature the stunning wall mount satin brass faucet from Newport Brass. We could not put in a two person tub and leave out the shower. Since the space was so wide, we added a second shower head so two could enjoy this space at once. Really probably five people could fit in here comfortably. More goodness from Newport Brass for the fixtures.
A floating walnut wood vanity was used to keep the airiness the bathroom now had. I did not want to weigh down and darken the space with a large solid vanity. I accented it with a marble top and top mount sink with matching satin brass faucet. The vanity is flanked by two amazing handmade ceramic and walnut wood sconces from one of my favorite lighting sources, Cedar & Moss. Last but not least, those floors. I choose a gray cement like tile and had it laid in a herringbone pattern that was carried seamlessly through the walk in shower.
