Master Bath Reveal

10 years ago

Finally, everything is done except getting some art on the walls!

Our house was built in 1980 and the master bathroom was original. Silly huge jetted tub, itty-bitty shower stall, seldom-used sauna and bidet, and a large picture window and door overlooking a private suntanning deck that we removed a couple of years ago (so door led to nowhere and glass had to be covered in obscure plastic for privacy). Walls and ceiling were covered in grass cloth.

We had it demo'ed to the studs.

Deleted the picture window and built a walk-in shower and installed an undermounted normal sized air jet tub in the space where the old jetted tub used to be.

Replaced the vanity and toilet in their original locations.

Deleted the bidet and sauna.

Replaced door-to-nowhere with window with obscure glass.

Had a linen closet/laundry center built to match the new vanity and installed it where the old shower stall had been.

Sauna room is cedar lined and will become a storage closet.

Replaced all of the incandescent can lights with LED ones.

Replaced vanity mirrors and lights.

Installed a new heater/exhaust fan.

Product details:

Porcelanosa Squares White 13x26 on tub & shower walls

Thanks for all the wonderful comments! We are thrilled with the outcome. kailuamom - We got all the stone at Western Tile in Dublin...they have another store in Concord. Great service and pricing...wonderfully run, family owned. The limestone is by Marble Systems and the color is either Seagrass or Olive Green...the two are often used interchangeably.

phylhl, your bathroom is beautiful! I am in the final planning stages of a master bath renovation myself, and I have some questions about your bathroom. In a previous bathroom update, we used the same Rohl showerhead as your handheld, but as a fixed showerhead. I find that it is almost impossible to change the functions. It definitely takes both hands to do so, but even then, it is extremely difficult. I called Rohl about it and they said it is supposed to be tight. Are you finding yours difficult to change? I see something in your shower that looks like a hook--? Just below the decorative panel and in front of the bench. Is that what it is? And is that a towel bar inside the shower on the half wall next to the shower door? If so, what is the material and make of the towel bar? My husband and I both use washcloths and I am struggling with what to hang them on in our shower. I want everything to be pretty, but it also must be very functional. I am having a hard time meeting both requirements here. :) Last question: is that a Rohl country bath toilet paper holder? Have you had any problems with the TP hook falling off the wall trim piece? The one I used in my other bath kept falling off. Rohl replaced it twice, and I finally gave up and had a handyman glue the hook onto the trim piece to keep it from falling off all the time. Sorry this is so long--thanks for your response!

Debbie1031, so far I like the vinyl tile. I knew I did not want ceramic tile. I have trouble with my feet and legs and I wanted something softer. This is warmer and softer. My big decision was whether to get the grout less or the grout fill. I chose the grout fill so that I could choose the grout color. We have the grout less in our church and it has held up very well. Linelle, I mostly take baths but my kids take showers and they like the curved rod. I chose this for when they come visit.

Olychick that's the shower control. It's a DTV from Kohler that gives us push button temperature control. So far we like it! We have one outside the enclosure too. Enduring, as soon as I'm home tomorrow I'll take a pic of the interior with door fully raised. They give us a lot of good storage space.

Wow! How beautiful -- great choice of products, love the porcelanosa shower tile -- I have that in some of my possibilities but couldn't figure out how to use it. I really like the pairing of it with your granite.

Gorgeous reno! Enjoy!

Beautiful! I love the tile choices. I wondered about how you like your new light over your vanity mirrors? In your before picture you show can lights in a valance over the vanity. How does the light compare from the before and after. We were thinking of doing low voltage pots over the vanity (to the back wall) to shine on the mirror and cross light with sconces on each side of mirror.

That is gorgeous! I love that Porcelanosa tile. Just put it on my short list for my future master bath redo. You did a fantastic job. Just beautiful.

OntarioMom, you are right, we had a soffit with can lights over the vanity before. Truly unflattering light. Removed it and went with wall lights above the mirrors. Although I like the lighting now, I can't say that I like the light fixtures themselves. They're incandescent (I did replace the standard bulbs in them with halogens) and would have looked better hung vertically rather than horizontally, but it was too late at the point that I figured that out . . .

Lovely, and so peaceful. although the original was quite glam too :) This bathroom looks very useful. I would say you have done a wonderful job of combining beauty with function. Bravo!

Wow, beautiful. Love the mix of materials. So clean looking and probably easy to clean especially that shower wall tile.

Can you please give me the exact name, model or link to that Porcelanosa tile? I Googled it, but didn't find yours and I want it! Looks so stylish, but easy care.

Your tub looks dreamy; how do you like it? Also, how do you access it if any problems; have a hidden removable panel somewhere?

Thanks for sharing.

Love, love, love the tub. It is very comfortable and therapeutic. One full tile (13x26) at the faucets end and another at the turbine end were set with sanded caulk instead of grout so that they can be removed for access if need be.

Coolbeans- Thanks for the additional info. I really really love that tile. The illusion and contrast of smaller tiles without all the grout lines. Perfect.
I haven't seen that tile, but will definitely check it out. Curious to see if they have other patterns or textures.

Half way down the list of coolbeans original post there is this item:

"Bain Ultra Origami 32x66 air jet tub"

Is that what you wanted?
