Our bath remodel is just about done!

A little painting, and window treatment, shower curtain to go.

Thanks to all for help along the way!

Sorry for the photo quality-I would redo, but camera is not cooperating...

What a lovely, classic bathroom. Custom vanity looks great (and probably cost less than those from RH and PB). Thanks for sharing.

dlh and gibby The sink, faucet, tub spout and just hand shower arm (not the bar) are all from Porcelanosa. The handshower bar is Waterworks. I know that seems weird. Waterworks had a huge sale near in our area last spring (can't believe I've had the stuff that long) and I bought a bunch of things before I even knew what we were really doing/look we were planning. However, it had a black handle. So I swapped out the handshower itself. It was still cheaper than buying any of the regular mid-range brands. When I looked at the bar, however, it seemed to go with the shape of the tub spout, so I kept that. Porcelanosa had a huge sale just before Tgiving, so we bought a bunch of other stuff including the master bath tile, yet to be installed. The sink is called Taiga. It can also be purchased as Shira with a vanity. The brand name on the products is Noken, which I guess Porcelanosa bought or they have a partnership. Anyway, I think they are struggling, and fairly disorganized, so if you have a dealer near you, you should be able to get at least 30-40% most products. is the Taiga from by Noken from Porcelanosa. I debated a lot about doing just movable hand shower instead of fixed and movable - does seem kind of redundant - but I know when I shower, I like having the fixed head even if there is a handshower. I did want the handshower in that bath for washing the dog, which I find a real pain without a handshower!

You could take the darkest color from your backsplash; it looks like a steely blue-gray, right? I think the white blinds will be fine; white is a neutral.

Tamara....I know this thread is old, but your kitchen is simply stunning! Are your cabinets Chantilly Lace? I read you kitchen delays and had to smile. I've lost weight and sleep over my darn remodel. Who knew how stressful this would be? If you used Chantilly Lace did you paint your ceiling the same. I just ordered my paint yesterday and I'm freaking out that it might be too bright.....

practigal…yes I got the ss sink with drainboard & I love it. Easy to use & cleans up great. lisa-a….I had gas a long time ago so am not that new to it but yes on both accounts. The AGA has lots of cooking features to get used too. I am still putting kitchen stuff away & waiting for painters to do last touch up. I still need stools for the island, table lamp for the living room & window treatments…then will do the post all the pictures.

Love the vanity. How many of the drawers are functioning? And what's the counter made of?

Thanks for the kind words!
A few of the details...
Our home is a Cape Cod built in '45, and I'm guessing the bath was remodeled in the 80's. We had water damage in the exterior wall, which gave me a valid reason to remodel!
Bath dimensions are about 5'x9' plus the bath alcove, which is 32"x60".
Floor: 1" unglazed hex
Wall: Crossville Savoy in Linen Gloss
Grout: Bostik TruColor in Misty Gray (floor & wall)
Paint (wall & ceiling): Devine "Glass"
Vanity: custom (sim. to RH Hutton)
Vanity color: Sherwin Williams "Fieldstone"
Countertop: Soapstone (yum!)
Vanity hardware: RH Strande, chrome
Mirror: PB Slender Studio Mirror in aged bronze, 30x42
Wall sconce: RH Asbury, chrome (not my first choice, but needed sconce with a 5" backplate due to junction box size)
Sink faucet: Hangrohe/Axor Montreaux (a big splurge, but love it!)
Toilet: Toto Drake
Tub: MTI Andrea
Tub/shower faucet: Hangrohe Tango, chrome
Wallbar: Hansgrohe, chrome
Exhaust fan: Fantech w exterior mount fan and dimmable halogen (but I ordered the wrong switch, so not dimmable :(...but does have a programmable timer :))
Medicine cabinet: custom (it will have a door!) with elec inside--thanks to this forum.
I agonized over the acrylic v cast iron tub, and opted to do the acrylic to get a nice, deep soaker. This one is very solid.
Several of the selections were made after researching here on the forum, and looking at photos of finished baths, and I appreciate everyone's input and photos!

Beautiful! I'm considering using soapstone for a kid's bathroom, so can I ask the FAQs? Do you need to oil it? Does it show water spots/rings/marks? Does it pick up toothpaste and other common bathroom stains? Any other information unique to bathrooms (not kitchens) worth sharing? Thanks.

weedyacres: the vanity has 4 working drawers; the 2 center are dummy drawer fronts.

bluekitobsessed: I can't offer too much on the soapstone as it has only been in use for a few days, but the fabricator oiled it as I wanted the darker charcoal color.
I will be oiling it again soon.
Soapstone is impervious to stains as it is nonporous.

Zippy, your bathroom choices create a really nice feeling, a light feeling - love the paint. You should never tire of the classic choices you made - just lovely.

We are also using soapstone for our countertop as it happens to be the only stone we both love.

Zippy_one and annaleef: Make sure you go over to the kitchen forum and search soapstone. Look for the posting by Francey on "living with soapstone". It's beautiful, but that post brings up some great comments on care and living with the changing color (oiled/non-oiled).

I love this cabinet. My current hall bathroom is a carbon copy of the "before" pic and I too am looking for ideas!

I don't have to search; I've been on the GW for years. We had Cobra soapstone installed in our kitchen in 2004. It is my favorite element in our house. It is indestructible and easy to care for. The initial color selection and type is the most important decision for satisfaction, I think. We needed a deep black with little/no veining in the kitchen and will again need the same in the master bath to avoid a conflict with the marble and travertine we are considering. However, we are also going to install a different ss with beautiful heavy veining in the laundry room just because it is so pretty and practical. Both are dark to start with, so we will not need to do a lot of oiling.

Zippy, I think you will really enjoy your soapstone!
