Let's Remodel Our Bathroom!

Purple Star emoji 25 items
Our house was built in 1977 and the owners before us did a lot of not so great work on it. We've slowly been doing updates and we finally finished the main bathroom! I can't believe the difference and how much nicer it feels to walk in the room. We d...

The installed pieces to our bathroom

I'm more of a gray neutrals type gal, but when I saw this vanity I fell for it instantly! Thankfully, my husband loved it, too. This was actually the first thing we picked out for the bathroom and I'm glad we did. It was easier to make choices for th...

Keeping with the square theme, we went with a tub that had sharper corners vs rounded. We have LOVED it. We haven't been able to take baths in years because of our old jetted tub had some issues. Because of the shape of this one it feels a lot bigger...

Our old mirror was a low quality, painted type that had an odd reflection and was heavily scratched due to age. It's been so refreshing having this one and it fits beautifully with our colors! I love it!

My husband picked out this shower head and I was a little skeptical at first, but I love it! Having the removable head was a must as I use that a lot when cleaning out the shower and I wasn't willing to give it up. I love that this one attaches via m...

I learned a lot about sink faucets during this remodel! We had a different option picked out, but had to pivot due to the size. We've had this for a couple months now and we are really happy with the functionality and the style

We went with a basic toilet option. When you're shopping around, make sure you're looking at how it hooks up to make sure it works for your space (we had to return the first one!), the shape, and the height!

Previously, we didn't have any in ceiling light in the bathroom, just the vanity light. These have been a game changer! There are way less shadows and it makes it easier for getting ready!

These vanity lights were perfect for the look we're going for! They match the square shape of all our hardware and decor and we like that the lights are able to be moved and angled if needed as well.

We liked the Dallace line by Delta because there's a bit of a squared off look vs rounded and we liked how it looked with the square hardware on our vanity.

This is oddly a huge highlight for me in our remodel. We previously had a metal spring holder and it never failed that we'd need to change the TP when someone was sleeping and that dang bar would fall into the metal garbage and make a huge sound! Thi...

We looked hard for a shower curtain to match our style! I didn't want something overly feminine, but still something more than a solid color. The cabinets are quite dark so I was happy to find this gem that tied in the color, but also some lighter bl...

We didn't get our vanity and medicine cabinet from the same brand so the hardware was different. We swapped out the cabinet hardware for these square knobs to match the rest of the decor.

We specifically looked for knobs that had a more squared look to them to fit with the rest of the bathroom decor.

We added the light gray mat in front of our sink and it's cushy and great for standing on when I'm doing things like straightening my hair.

Who knew finding a trashcan would be so difficult?? This was one of the hardest things to decide on. I refused to spend $75 on a tiny trash bin so I spent a long time searching. I found this square metal bin and I love it. It's a good size for the ba...

Because we got the square tub, there wasn't much of a ledge on it so we wanted to make sure we got shower shelves. These look great and have been easy to clean.

Tile

We are so happy with how our tile turned out! This is the one bit that we intentionally hired out and it was 100% worth it

This tile turned out very elegant looking! The veins offered a lot of variation and it was easy to put it together without looking repetitive. The colors are gray but with blue tones that worked with the rest of our colors.

We chose this for the flooring and I love it! It's feels wonderful and the very neutral color and grain really worked for our space. Since we had a bold color for the vanity and the veins in the shower tile, we wanted a simple, but still coordinated ...

We stuck to bright white for the shower tile grout and I am happy with the choice. I think for long term cleaning, it will be easiest to keep up with white vs trying to deep clean or bleach another color.
