Guest Bathroom Reveal

Our guest bathroom just got a major upgrade! Due to a water damage issue, we needed to replace a few things. Instead of just repairing a few things we made the decision to give this bathroom a full renovation and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!

 

The Before and After

Here is a quick glimpse of what this bathroom looked like before and how it looks after. As you can see we kept the general layout the same, but just elevated the look with the design choices. We also made a few plumbing and electrical tweaks to improve the functionality of the space. You can read more about the design plans and material choices on this blog post.

 

 

The Shower Tile

The tile on the shower walls is hands down my favorite tile of all time! It’s a natural white Zellige tile that is handcrafted and made from natural clay. It is well known for its variations in coloring, organic shape, and imperfections— making each tile unique. It’s not perfect by any means and that is what I love about it! We had the 2×6 sized tiles installed in a traditional brick lay pattern for that timeless look. The grout color used here is Mapei Alabaster.

 

 

One layout aspect we changed (I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend) was moving the shower control valve to the opposite side of the shower head. This made all the difference with our bathroom layout. You no longer need to squeeze between the toilet and the tub to turn the shower on. This also allowed us to add a fixed shower panel for a cleaner look.

 

 

The Floor Tile

Keeping with the natural stone theme in here, the floor tile is a Moroccan Limestone tile in a honed finish with a tumbled edge. It is a larger format size at 12″x24″ and also laid in a traditional brick lay pattern. The grout color used here is Mapei Biscuit.

 

 

The Bathtub

We were having a hard time parting with the idea of not having a bathtub in our home, so we deiced to keep a tub in this bathroom. And since it’s the only bathtub in our home, why not make it extra special? And so, we did! This is an alcove drop-in tub. The front of the bathtub is open so that you can be a little more creative and either tile it or add a slab to the front like we did.

 

 

The Vanity

We were able to get a slightly wider vanity in this space, but still limited to a single sink due to the way the door swings open. I was incredibly impressed with the quality of this Collette vanity from Home Depot. It’s white oak with a beautiful wood tone, great storage, and lots of little design details that give it character and charm.

 

 

It came with a beautiful marble top as well, but since we planned for a wall mounted faucet, I replaced the top with these stunning porcelain countertops and backsplash. I go more in-depth on why I chose porcelain countertops on this blog post, but after using them for a bit, I love them and want to use them everywhere now!

 

 

And how good is this mirror and sconce combination from Rejuvenation.  The scalloped towel rack (to the right of the vanity) was a quick little DIY build and fills the space behind the door beautifully.

 

 

The Ceiling

With the overall design of this bathroom being very neutral, the ceiling was the perfect spot to bring a little drama! We planked the ceiling with white oak, added matching beams, and stained everything to match the wood tone of the vanity. I don’t think this room would be the same without that ceiling feature!

 

 

It truly is all in the details! I hope you’ve enjoyed this renovation as much as I have.
