I am so excited to finally be able to share today’s post with you! This master bathroom remodel was a long time coming but both Mike and I are so pleased with how it turned out! I say this every time we finish remodeling a room, but our master bathroom is now my favorite room in our house. Links contain affiliates, all opinions are completely my own.

our master bathroom remodel

This bathroom remodel was exciting because it wasn’t just a facelift, like so many other spaces in our house. We basically gutted the entire bathroom! I was glad we lived with it for awhile first as is, because we were able to decided what we really needed and wanted in the space.

replacing the tub combo with a walk-in shower

I know I took a bunch of before pictures but these were the only ones that I could find of our shower area. Oddly enough, there was a false wall in place so that the standard tub/shower combo would fit. We ripped that bad boy out and our general contractor (this was not a DIY project!) built a new, giant shower pan. We also decided to add a recessed shelf for some items like shampoo and soap. 

For the tile walls we picked a standard, oversized subway tile. Then we also picked a pretty, but simple, glass mosaic for an accent tile. For the floor for the shower we picked a black river rock. Not only is it a nice contrast but I love the way they feel on my feet. It’s like a foot massage every time I take a shower! For the bathroom flooring we opted for the same slate tile that we put in our hall bathroom remodel.

For our new, larger shower I knew I wanted two shower heads since the shower was so massive. So now we have a rain shower head that is fantastic and another shower head on the side. I love that we can run them both together or separately. We also picked a shower door that has a track along the top. This was a must for me because I hate bottom shower tracks. They always fill with gross gunk and are a pain to clean out, ugh.

putting in a free-standing double vanity 

We ripped out the builder grade single vanity and replaced it with a free-standing vanity. Not only does this one have two sinks, but it is much taller than our old one! Which is a pretty big win when you’re tall like Mike and I are. We opted to use the same glass mosaic for the backsplash instead of the strip of marble that came with the new vanity.

I also love our new oval mirrors and our light fixtures. I really wanted to keep things classic in here. That way, not only would we love it while we’re here, but down the road it would appeal to a lot of potential buyers.

Our floating corner shelves are another feature I love. I originally wanted floating shelves along the wall across from the vanity. However, since we have a pocket door that wall is mostly hollow and our options were limited. Luckily, I found these great corner floating shelves  that are perfect for the space. Then I grabbed a mirror we already had and we hung it up on that wall. I really love the way it helps the space seem even bigger and brighter.

I really wish we had better natural light in our house because these pictures don’t do the space justice. And the wall color is beautiful too, it’s called Mountain Haze and it’s by Behr. I painted the same color in our master bedroom and I love that both rooms have a cohesive look.
