guest bath: before and design board pics

I love your vanity and your modern look. I know you didn't ask for input but I'd like to share my thoughts on your board. I don't know what the green element is in the upper corner, is that the counter? The color and intensity seems out of place to me with your other soft elements. I think the liner tile and the green abstract square design don't read well together. They are both very nice on their own but together I don't think they work. What are your thoughts to my comments?

Thank you, everyone! It’s great to hear how many people like the look of the makeover. It really hypes me up to redecorate my master :) jo_in_tx: I actually agree with you! I originally wanted to do a slightly larger print but going up in size came with a significant price bump. Adding something else to either side would be a good option :) Oh and I am from Texas too! Elle: Heya! Unfortunately it looks like the trunk is currently out of stock but that might not be the case forever. I bought it after seeing a more expensive version of a similar item at Pottery Barn, but didn’t want to spend quite so much. I’ll link them both :) Wayfair Trunk Pottery Barn Trunk

@Z Y the white tiles are from lowes in two different sizes, they're called satorini white glossy tile. The center accent tile is from home depot: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Ivy-Hill-Tile-Pacif-White-Shells-11-81-in-x-11-81-in-x-2-mm-Pearl-Shell-Mosaic-Tile-EXT3RD102059/300915818 i got the cabinets custom made.. which really wasnt that expensive considering...

I think your choice of led mirror is a very good decision! If you are renovating the second largest bathroom, it is also recommended that you use alarge-sized led mirror to make your bathroom more modern and add brilliance to your bathroom or dressing area!

Lovely, it looks so fresh and bright! (I would put the toilet paper holder on the other wall from where it used to be so you don't see it from the doorway) The wall by the shower would be a good place for a towel bar so you have access from the shower.

Thank you!

Jamie Ludwig - I agree; we placed the toilet paper holder on the other side so that it wasn't visible. We also placed a chrome towel hook on the back of the door. Just gotta change the door handle. :)

Phenomenal job! It's very and clean and contemporary. The only thing I would consider adding is a small backsplash behind the sink to protect the drywall from dripping water. You could even take it all the way up to the ceiling (budget permitting) for a dramatic accent.

Very nice! What tub and surround did you use?

@threegraces Thank you! We purchased the tub and surround from our local Lowes Home Improvement store. Our master bath, we gutted also, but used tile on the floor, in the shower and made it feel spa like. Our guest bath, we didn't want to go through all of that again since we had to rip everything out of this bath to the studs, that we just wanted something simple. I will see if they have a link for the tub.

@threegraces the surround and tub has interlocking joints and the best part? No caulking needed!!! ;)

@StephanieSalinas No, I don't mind at all. Our budget was $1,800 but ended up spending between $2,000-$2,200 but we took the walls and floors down to the studs because we wanted to update the galvanized pipes. We replaced the floor, the toilet, the tub/surround, baseboards, mirror, vanity, and lighting. The vanity we found on clearance. We went with a recessed medicine cabinet since there was one in the bathroom previously and we also wanted clean lines. It took us 3 weeks and that is because we both work full time jobs. ;)

What a beautiful job! I love the paint colour too, may I ask what it is?

@Tracy We purchased the paint from Lowe's. They carry Sherwin Williams and it's called Crisp Blue. The number on the sample was HGSW3327. We chose this because there are very thin, blue-ish gray pinstripes in our tile that you can't really see in these photos.

FYI - A color that looks GORGEOUS in any room is Benjamin Moore's Healing Aloe. If my husband would let me, I would paint my whole house in it. Lol It's a beautiful neutral color between green and gray. Very "soft" and calming color in a room. It's currently in my LR and hallway and everyone that walks into my house, always comments on the color.

I have to brag on my hubby regarding this tile work.... LOOK at those precision cuts below!

A different view of the vanity. It looks darker here. It's more of a grayish brown coloring.

Closer pic of the Tile. We mixed white and light gray for the grout.

This was our 2nd bath remodel together AND we still love each other. :)
