Sneak Peek of our Unfinished Master Bath

12 years ago

Also a reveal of which vanity we chose after all your helpful votes and comments. : )

We're missing a ton of stuff (even lights), but here's a sneak peek of our master bathroom. We're missing trim paint, vent covers, ceiling paint, etc, etc.

We're off to search for a mirror tomorrow and then the electrician comes next week and we should have some light!

Anyway, without further ado, here it is so far:

The wainscot is tongue and groove planks - this is just the white primer, but they are getting painted white, so the look will be the same. This was one of the design things my contractor initially didn't understand - the horizontal install. He had always seen it vertically installed. Once I showed him a few pictures he caught on! Yes, he is a gem (why I got references from three neighbors who used him for a combined total of 2 kitchen and 4 bathroom remodels with unequivocal praise for his work)

Kat - I'll look forward to seeing your other photos! Lisa - thanks, I'm sure a coffered ceiling would look great in your house! I think it can be tailored for a particular space depending on how formal or informal you want it to look. I have to give the credit for the ceiling to our architect since he suggested it and I'll admit that I wasn't so sure about it at first. Our house is around 70 years old, so I was a bit worried about how it would look, but I think it fits in with the rest of the house pretty well. Honestly, I wasn't sure about it though until it was completely done and painted and then I loved it! Eliz - thanks! Hope you are enjoying your beautiful kitchen. I can identify with your comment about your basement being the "dungeon" - I am beginning to wonder if ours will ever be clean or usable again! I think we may just have to section it off with the yellow tape you see at crime scenes and just forget it exists - haha :) Right now, there isn't even a foundation in part of it, just red dirt, due to being torn out for plumbing! It's horrible! Hostagrams - I love the gray and would use a version of it in every room if not for my husband objecting! He thinks there needs to be more color, regardless of whether the colors look good together! Wow - I can't believe you have been taking care of that many hostas for a year - I wish I enjoyed gardening more. Good luck with your move into the new house - I hope everything is done for the deadline of May 1st!

i had to chime in--just invested in netuno bordeaux that i'm praying looks not too wild with my simple-style canvas kraftmaid cabinets and wood floors. nothing is installed yet and i went for it on the granite. after starting looking at all the whites and grays out there, i went in the opposite direction. i also ordered champagne bronze faucet and cabinet knobs as we have a traditional house with lots of brass doorknobs. i hope it's not "too much" but think i will love it. here are some poorly lit photos of our slabs (Why don't granite places invest in better lighting?) which are much lighter in person. hoping for a warm, not too contemporary look in the end.

I have to comment on the 4" granite battle. I didn't want it (obviously). GC brought it up and DH wanted it. I finally won the battle (took at least 1+ week of convincing and some cost difference before DH agreed). Granite fabricator (owner of shop) came in today to measure for granite bath vanities. He admired the backsplash and said "see I told you it would look better without the granite backsplash" to the GC. Ha! I can't figure out why GC was pushing that so hard--it wasn't going to make him any extra money. I think he and DH were just stuck with the picture that "everyone" does a 4" granite backsplash. Anyway--on to the backsplash material. It is honed travertine. I got it at the tile shop in town. Even got it on sale! I'll post the link of the actual tile. I sealed it and it is working out well. I sprayed water on it to test it and the water just beaded up beautifully on the surface. Here is a link that might be useful: Claros Silver honed corinth

Why can't you have a dinky bathroom like mine? I'd love some inspiration.

Love what you're doing!

Very nice. You made great choices. Is the marble tile the real deal or a porcelain wanna be? If porcelain would you mind sharing the manufacturer and style name? Thanks!

So what's the story with the vanity? Did you order from the original company and it actually showed up? I recently saw a post by allison??? of a bathroom with a similar vanity and thought of your bathroom. Either way, I'm glad it worked out!

Looks great! What company did you end up getting the vanity from? Which wall faucets?

Your bathroom is looking fabulous. I especially love the wall tile behind your tub. So happy for you after all the remodel nightmares you experienced. Wishing you lots of bubble bath soaking time to make up for all the stress you went through.

Blondelle, the tile is porcelain wannabe. It's called Exedra Calacutta and it's from Artistic Tile.

Natebear/ Allison - it is not the original vanity - I couldn't find it anywhere and couldn't get an answer on when it would be back in stock.
It seems virtually identical though - it's the British Cane vanity from Modern bath. We're pleased with it.

Allison we went with the Kohler Devonshire. I'm not in love with it yet, but hopefully it will grow on me.

We went with the Moonshine 2140-60.
It was so weird because initially it looked blue and just wasn't working, but it kind of 'settled' and by the time DH got home from work it looked totally different. Probably something to with totally drying out and the light changing in the room.

I just hope it doesn't turn blue again when we get lights!! Right now I really like it. It's very peaceful, but not cold.

Hobokenkitchen,

Sorry if I missed it, but what are the measurements of your bathroom?

Gina, our bathroom is really long and thin, like a hallway. It made planning it really difficult.

I can't remember the length off hand, but it's only 6 feet wide. I'll measure length later.

Thanks Hoboken! I thought so, ours is 6x18 and trying to reconfigure it has been very tough!! Yours gives me hope, though.

tinan - the shower is at the other end of the room. Here's a pic taken before the trim and shower heads went on.

Gina Gorden - our bathrooms are exactly the same size! : )
Ours is 6' x 18.3'. We were fortunate with our door placement - we had great space for a huge shower which is lovely.
We had alternate floor plans which might have worked if the window were placed differently, but I think it all worked out!

Hoboken,

Where did you fit the toilet, with the shower on one end and the tub on the other? Does it feel private?

Love, love, love the size of the shower BTW! is it 6x5?

Lol, the toilet does not feel private! It's next to the shower.

We could have relocated it to a closet close by, but it would have been cramped and windowless. We could also have combined the tub and shower and put the toilet up one end or other.

The toilet location was the biggest challenge with the width of the room, but there's a door and we close it while using the toilet, so it doesn't really matter where it is.

If you had a more normal tub you might be able to tuck the toilet between the vanity and tub if you didn't want to see it?

We bought the best looking 'throne' we could find (Toto SoirÃÂ©e) and it's out there bold and proud! In fact this week it will have a chandelier above it, so far from trying to hide it, it's going to be a feature.

Very impressive bathroom. I wonder what trim around window? Tile or wood? Trim looks like flash with tile. Would love to see finished room.
