Folks, this moment in time has been about a year in the making.
I've done a looott of talking about this project (including yesterday's look back at the entire renovation). In fact, after exactly twenty posts on the subject,
I think I've said just about enough!
Sooo... I've decided that I'll just let the pictures do the talking in this post : )
Feel free to post any questions you might have in the comments- "how to" questions, source questions for items you see, etc- and I'll leave answers and links down in the comment section. For a full source list, check out this post.
Without further ado... here is a full tour of our (mostly) do-it-yourself renovated master bathroom!
*one quick note: this awesome art is from Modern Bird Studios!
I guess I could have warned you... there are a looot of pictures : ) Bet you feel like you know every ounce of that tiny little rectangular space now, don't you?! I'm just so proud of it, I had to share every corner.
And because everyone loves a good before & after....
(FYI- the "after" photos are taken from the exact same position in the room as the "before" shots!)

Before I conclude this epic saga, I have to give major props to David, my man with the plan. And back up plans! And the back up plans for when the back up plan falls through....
And thanks to all of you for your sweet comments, encouragement and support!
Annnnnd I'm starting to sound like I'm accepting an Emmy right now. I'm such a dork.
But seriously, this bathroom rocks.
PS. You can also find me over at Centsational Girl today. I'm a contributive writer for CG and today, I shared one of my favorite new design trends- all things rustic! I've even got a few DIY rustic projects described in the article, so be sure to check it out!

ReplyDeleteI am seriously so obsessed with your bathroom!!! I've been loving all white kitchens and bathrooms for a while now but your small additions of gray are even better! Okay, tell me 'bout the tile. Floor tile, subway tile, and shower tiles...I need details!

ReplyDeleteOMG RB!!! that looks amazing!!! and hello double shower heads......
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE~! michelle, you guys did an awesome job! love the mirrors you chose and the tiles! amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! Love that you put in the water closet... I wish our bathroom was large enough to add one haha.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you purchase the pocket door from and how much did it cost? We'd like to use a pocket door for our bathroom door to save space! :)
WOW, michelle! worth the wait... so worth the wait! it is amazing! ad you know one of my favorite parts is that vanity which was such a hard thing to finally achieve! :) i also loooove your choice in materials- the floor tile is awesome... all of it!
ReplyDeleteI love what you did..I may be stealing some of your ideas..I am in the middle of a bathroom re do...http://www.theinspiredhousewife.com/2011/08/removing-a-bathtub-d/
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!! Where did ya'll get the D & M towel hangers?? I love them!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing!!! All your hard work definitely paid off. It is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteOMG!!!!!! I love it! What an awesome job!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a beautiful job! I especially love the tile in the shower. Dreamy. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the tile. It's gorgeous! I also really love the paint choice on the cabs.
ReplyDeleteWhat a FANTASTIC bathroom!! Seriously, all your had work paid off. Its fresh, bright, and beautiful. You guys did an awesome job.
ReplyDeleteeeek! i die. its too fabulous!!! love the tile!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMichelle it's PERFECT! I really love it! Everything about it is just beautiful. The mirrors are fabulous! Excellent job!
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS! You did such a wonderful job! It looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWOW! This is so amazing. You guys did such a great job! I love the shower cutouts! And the letter hooks. And the....ok the WHOLE thing!
ReplyDeleteYep, your bathroom is amazing! You did such a great job selecting all the materials, it is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNice job!! I love seeing the finished room after seeing where it has come from. I featured your blog today at stylesson.com.
ReplyDeleteAgain, so so pretty! I love all the finishing details... the mirrors look great, the letter hooks... great work!
ReplyDeleteWhat a transformation - it's gorgeous now!!! I like the new layout a lot, so much better. And the vanity is beautiful, but I'm also loving your tile choices - the honeycomb and subway tile in the shower is fabulous! You did amazing!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the love, everyone!! Ya'll are the best!! (this is where the Emmy award show music would cut me off for making too long of a speech! ha)
ReplyDeleteJulia- all of the tile is from Home Depot. We shopped around and found that it was the best selection for the best price (and so convenient). Both the marble floor tile and the subway tile were found at our local store. We did have to special order the hexagon tile from the HD website, but got it on sale that way : )
Kerry- the pocket door kit we bought at Lowes. It actually comes as a frame (I think $75ish) that you add the actual door to ($40ish). It was not an expensive endeavor, but we were really lucky to have my carpenter brother-in-law to install it for us. Then we just drywalled around it and BOOM! You've got a water closet : )
My Munoz- the towel hangers are actually just Hobby Lobby finds! I did buy them over a year ago (they've been sitting in my guest room, waiting for their big debut!), so I'm not sure they still have them. I need to paint them, though, so that they silver screw tops don't pop so badly... oh boy, here comes another project... ; )
Where did you get the toilet paper magazine combo holder?
DeleteLove the bathroom vanity! What is the paint color? How was it done?
DeleteLooks AMAZING!! Love the tiles and the gray vanity! I bet you are so happy that project is done!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! I'm obsessed with the marbled tiles and the color of the vanity. It's stunning!
ReplyDeleteWow! It looks so beautiful! I love how clean, fresh and modern it looks. The colors and finishes are gorgeous together.
ReplyDeleteLOOKS TO DIE FOR!!! You killed it. AMAZING girl!! So happy for you :)
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! And, so serene. Love that pocket door!
ReplyDeleteOh, Michelle! It's amazing. So gorgeous. I love how clean and fresh it is. You must love getting ready in there. WELL DONE!
ReplyDeleteIt looks stunning!! GREAT JOB! I know you're SO glad to finally have it all done! :)
ReplyDeletethis is gorgeous! The mirrors are my favorite part. Well done, my friend :)

I lOVE how you rearranged everything..and two shower heads? oh yes, my hubby will be getting word of this! :) thanks for sharing- it looks tranquil, almost spa like :) enjoy your new bathroom!
ReplyDeleteIt looks AMAZING!!! Wow...you and David did such a fabulous job! Love how soothing the space is...the double shower heads are awesome!!! It's your own personal spa! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats Babycakes! The bathroom looks like you -- fresh and modern!
ReplyDeleteWow!! It looks soo gorgeous. Fresh, clean, modern, and GREAT! Awesome job :)

Wow! It's so inviting and peaceful. I love the door change and all the tile work. It's really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's really beautiful and so serene. I was obsessing over that great towel and I saw it yesterday in Boscov's - perhaps Lenox? It's really pretty. And I love your shower!
ReplyDeleteLove it! what a gorgeous bathroom!! one question though because we are in the process as well... how are you liking the glass window pain door that lets you see right in?
ReplyDeleteI really like everything! It looks great! I have my eye on that small tile you used at the bottom of the shower! AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great Michelle! What a transformation from the yellow. Really love the mirrors and how they are angled on the wall!
ReplyDeletelove the bathroom. i am doing a similar looking re-do currently. what color paint did you use on the walls? is it a light gray? thanks!
ReplyDeleteOoooo la la!! This is sooo gorgeous, Michelle. Love all the cool crisp tones ~ super fresh. :) Kudos!
ReplyDeleteHeidi @ Show Some Decor
What an amazing transformation!! Everything you have done to your home is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteLove is an understatement!! It's spectacular (: All the finishes, accessories etc...they are all stunning. Such a great eye, girlfriend!
ReplyDeleteLovely and beautiful---I hope you submit the photos to a magazine - they are worthy of publication!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your hard work and gorgeous designs!

absolutely amazing! I LOVE every bit of this bathroom... but I think I've already told you that in another one of your posts! ;) You guys did an absolutely amazing job! And I love all of your wall decor- so tasteful and simple :)
ReplyDeleteStunning- simply stunning!
ReplyDeleteIt is perfect! Agree with Linda... definitely magazine-worthy! I adore the hexagon tiles.
ReplyDeleteWow, it's AMAZING! It's a total 180 from the banana yellow fiasco. Gorgeous work. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great! So worth the year of reno, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteWe are re-doing a guest bathroom so I know how awful the process is. And since we are doing the work ourselves...it's taking a long time.
I have to ask about your mirrors. I was thinking about using mirrors like yours so I would like to know how they are working for you. Since they seem to tilt forward, is that an issue?
So serene and lovely!!! Such an amazing job!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness michelle it looks INCREDIBLE!!!! i absolutely love it!!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful Michelle!! You and your hubby did an awesome job. I want it!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, love the tile! I might just have to run to HD and pick me up some of the floor tile, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove how this turned out! The double shower heads, tile, and pocket door are chic and practical! NIce job!
ReplyDeleteYou guys really are the sweetest! Magazine worthy? I'm blushing : )
ReplyDeleteHolly- the bird hand towel is actually just a cheapie little Target find! Cute, isn't it?
Bee- we are loving the window paneled door. It lightens and brightens the space from our master bedroom, instead of shutting it off. It makes it more like an extension of the room, which we need since it's such a small bedroom! As for privacy, we have privacy with the pocket door for the toilet area. The shower area is not visible from the door, so there is some privacy there. Of course, when we have little ones someday or if we have guests over, we would simply shut the door to the bedroom for more privacy. We love it!
Anonymous- The wall color is actually a verrrry light blue color! It's Gliddens Misty Moonstone.
Mary- yes, the mirrors are angled and tilt towards the floor some. It drove the hubs crazy at first, but I think we're getting used to it. It doesn't change your view in the mirror, but just looks a little "off" (to him at least, I like it!). If it keeps driving him nuts, we might figure out a way to tweak the mirror so that the pivoting mirror plate is upright, which shouldn't be too hard to do. But they are pretty! : )
Could you tell me where you purchased the vanity? It is exactly what I have been looking for to add to my bathroom..Thanks!
DeleteAbsolutely gorgeous !
ReplyDeleteIt looks huge ! the lighting, the tiles, the decoration.
A job well done.
I have bathroom envy.
I love the gray vanity! Okay, I love it all! I am painting a few things in my bathroom and the vanity is one of them. Was going to paint it white, but after seeing these pics I think gray would be awesome! Can you tell me what color the vanity was painted? If you went over this in a different post, sorry, this is the only one I have read.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

ReplyDeletePerfection! Love all of the little details. And double shower heads are a dream of mine! You guys did a wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! The transformation is incredible! You did such a great job. I love all of the tile! The flooring and white subway are elegant and classic.
ReplyDeletethe bathroom came out amazing!! i love the color of the vanity! and the artwork is awesome too! you guys did a great job!
ReplyDeleteBTW, did you mention what color you painted the vanity?
ReplyDeleteFor those asking, the vanity (after I painted the laminate base with an oil-based primer) is painted with Martha Stewart's Cement Gray, which you can find at Home Depot. It's gorgeous! : )
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous Michelle!! So calm and pretty, I would love to get ready for the day in that bathroom!
ReplyDeleteMichelle- I loved your bathroom redo so much that I decided to feature it on my little blog on Wednesday. Feel free to stop by and check it out!

ReplyDeleteI can't believe I hadn't commented on this before! Your bathroom is totally gorgeous! You guys should be so proud of yourself- I just LOVE it!!!!
ReplyDeleteMichelle, this is freakin AMAZING! Our hall bath was a total nightmare (hideously ugly + plumbing issues) http://bontempsbeignet.blogspot.com/2010/04/hall-bath-nightmare.html
ReplyDeleteY'all did a wonderful job. It doesn't even look like the same room!
Came over here from YHL. Wow!!! That is my dream bathroom. Excellent job. Well done :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous remodel! I'm stealing your tub-to-shower idea. Just what I've wanted for our bathroom!!!
ReplyDeletePopping over from YHL. Looks great!!! LOVE the grey. :)
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous!! I am trying to decide what to do with our Master bath and this is some incredible inspiration!! Enjoy your new bathroom!!
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! Pardon my language, but that is amazing! Loooooove the double shower!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW! :) Stopping by from YHL. :)

ReplyDeleteJust stopping over from Young House Love to say wow wow wow and WOW!!! My husband and I are not really DIY people, but I LOVE seeing the hard work of those who are. Great job guys! I love your shower!
ReplyDeleteWow! Amazing transformation! Stopping by from YHL.
ReplyDeleteTotally amazing redesign! Where are those towels from??? I am obsessed!
ReplyDeleteAmazing renovation! We have a similar master bath in our house. Would you mind sharing the dimensions of the entire bathroom? I apologize if you've already done so!
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS - and so inspiring as I'm planning our master redo :) Love the idea of the window door (our master bedroom is small also so adding the visual "extra" space of the bathroom is a great idea for us. Also -love love love that shower! The hex tiles are awesome! We were thinking white subway walls, but that just adds the extra pop! I'm already on the Home Depot site looking for them - Can you tell me if they are the Grecian White Marble Hex tiles, or which ones they are called on the website?
ReplyDeleteThanks and i hope you enjoy MANY years in this fabulous bathroom!
Thanks so much to all of you sweetums stopping by from YHL! Big smiles over here : )
ReplyDeleteBlondeJeni- the handtowel is actually from Target! Cute (and cheap!)... my favorite combo!
Bethany- you can find the dimensions (and actually the original floor plan + our floor plan options!) right here: http://www.tenjuneblog.com/2011/01/whats-plan-stan.html
Aleah- you got it, the hexagon tiles from Home Depot are indeed the sheets of Greecian White Marble that you found! We were lucky and scored it on sale late last winter. They're actually kind of marbelized with gray like the carerra marble tiles on the floor... very pretty : )
Thanks again, folks! Let me know if you have any other questions!
xo- Michelle
What a change! I'd be walking on air. That's like my dream shower, and oh, the pocket door. Almost makes me want to reno, but I don't know if I could stand the craziness!
ReplyDeletewhere did you get the vanity? LOVE IT! Gorgeous redo and now a Ten June reader!!-- mandie
ReplyDeleteDid you have to replace the window since it's now in the shower? We're looking to move ours under a large window but have concerns about water damage. Also where did you get the vanity? Is it painted?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful makeover. I love marble, white and grey. The perfect combination for a bathroom!
ReplyDeleteMichelle, I can't believe I'm just now seeing this!! It's GORGEOUS! You guys did a fantastic job!
ReplyDeleteI love your bathroom...especially the shower. I love your style too with the pop of pink flowers. What did you choose for a shower curtain? Was it a DIY curtain or did you buy one?
ReplyDeleteYou've done a fabulous job with your bathroom and I love the details (oh and those tiles - gorgeous!!!) I've got this linked to my bathrooms post as well today, for inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYou made such stunning choices for everything, I LOVE it! Now I have to ask: do you find yourself looking for reasons to spend time in there? I totally would:)
ReplyDeleteGr8 makeover ! Awesome job...we are going to try replicating this in our master. But, I had the same concern as "Leigh" above. How did you work with the window in the shower. We now have the tub there, but would like to flip it for a double shower. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely spectacular! I am in love with your color combos! You guys did a fantastic job! What kind of finish did you use on your cabinets/vanity? I know you said Martha Stewart Cement Gray but was it a matte trim paint?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Cyndy
I LOVE you bathroom renovation! We are just starting ours (and our bathroom looks VERY similar to what yours used to)! I actually had already picked our marble hex tile for our floors and subway tile for the walls when I saw this post! We're a teeny bit worried about the shower floor being slippery. What finish did you use (honed or polished)? and is it slippery? Your bathroom gives me hope!!

Please please tell me where you found those amazing mirrors!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe tile in your shower is exactly what I have been searching for. I see in one response that you got it from Home Depot, but I have been unable to find anything like that on their website. Do you happen to know the exact name of the tile? Maybe I can call them or find it somewhere else? Thank you for your help. Your bathroom and home are lovely.

Hi Michelle, I'm redoing a bathroom that currently has only a toilet and sink in it. I'm trying to figure out if I have room to add a shower with the dual shower heads like yours. Can you tell me the measurements of your shower.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Julie
Hi Julie! I shared our basic dimensions here: http://www.tenjuneblog.com/2011/01/whats-plan-stan.html. Good luck!
