Master Bath Reveal
The Big Issues:
- The bathroom always felt dirty no matter how many times I cleaned it. It felt dark and dreary.
Before
The Challenges:
- Even with a double vanity I always seemed to make a huge mess on my husband's side with all my stuff!
- We had a lot of sq. footage, but the tub was taking up SO much space and the shower I could hardly shave my legs in.
- We never used the tub in the 6 years we have lived in the home because I never wanted to find out what was going to come out of those JETS!
- There was an awkward/wasted space in the master bedroom right outside the bathroom
- When we opened the door to the bathroom it would slam into the linen closet door that was right behind it.
- As much as I love a pretty soaking tub and knowing baths can be so relaxing, I didn't think I would actually use it enough. I had to weigh how much having our own space would change our life EVERY day!
Awkward Space In The Bedroom
Solution: Bring it down to the studs
The Plan:
- Include the “awkward” bedroom space in the bathroom
- Add a pocket door to eliminate any collisions
- Instead of adding a tub back in we used the space for a 2nd vanity so we would each have our own space-
- We kept the existing plumbing footprint (used the tub plumbing for the shower) to save on plumbing costs!
- Added mill work to make it feel custom, classic & timeless
- Using bright white paint to make it feel clean & crisp Include a furniture piece as a “linen closet” to add interest
Our Vision using something we like to call "MOOD BOARD MAGIC"
The BIG Payoff for Us:
- Less time spent listening to my husband complain about all my stuff- WIN!
