Before: The bathroom in need of a makeover.
Welcome to our latest home project of the year! As part of our annual tradition, it's time to embark on a major transformation. This time, we're focusing on our primary bathroom. With plans and ideas in mind, we're determined to create a dreamy space for relaxation and rejuvenation. But first, let's take a look at the starting point.
A Glimpse of the Before

Changing Out the Bathroom Vanities
One crucial element we'll be updating is the bathroom vanities. Personally, I've always had a soft spot for marble tops and vanities with unique features. The inclusion of a bump-out in the middle or on the edges adds character. Moreover, I believe that ample drawer storage is essential for organizing bathroom essentials efficiently. After careful consideration, we finally settled on a stunning vanity from Wayfair. It not only meets all our requirements but also comes at a reasonable price. Although I'm not particularly fond of the legs, I believe they will blend well with the overall aesthetic of the bathroom.
Bathroom Remodel Tile Choices
A bathroom remodel isn't complete without considering the tile. From the floor to the shower and backsplash areas, each surface demands attention. In our case, we've decided to retain the existing floor tile throughout the house and extend it under the tub and vanity areas. This popular tile, with its wood-like appearance, adds a touch of elegance and is surprisingly easy to maintain.

When it comes to shower areas, I have my heart set on marble. With its timeless appeal, marble will make a statement in the bathroom. To ensure a balanced look, we'll install two 60-inch vanities with marble countertops on the opposite side of the bathroom. Pinterest has been a great source of inspiration for finding stunning shower ideas.
A Touch of Wallpaper
I can't resist adding some wallpaper to the bathroom; I'm just undecided about where exactly to place it. Perhaps the toilet closet or a couple of walls will benefit from this decorative touch. I have a few wallpaper designs in mind that would complement the space perfectly.
DXV Luxury Tub and Bathroom Fixtures

Our tub and fixtures are generously provided by DXV, the luxury line of American Standard. When they reached out to us, I was thoroughly impressed by their products. We opted for the St. George, a classic freestanding tub with a beautiful silhouette. Placed in the center of the bathroom, surrounded by linen drapes, it's sure to create a captivating focal point. To maintain a timeless look, we chose a polished nickel finish for the tub filler, faucets, and robe hooks. Polished nickel has never disappointed me, and I love how it blends with brass finishes in the lighting.
Lighting and Mirrors
While finalizing the lighting plans, I'm exploring various options. A statement light fixture over the tub or in the center of the bathroom would add a touch of glamour. Additionally, we'll need sconces for the vanities and matching lights in the closet area, which is connected to the bathroom. Custom-designed mirrors, similar to the one below, will enhance the character of the space.

Lighting Concept 2
To create a seamless flow between the bathroom and closet, we're considering installing a French door. This would not only add beauty but also create a more open and connected space. Currently, a single off-centered door hides what lies beyond the wall. With glass French doors, the bathroom and closet will blend into one large room with well-defined areas.
Bringing Dreams to Life
With our plans laid out, we're excited to turn this vision into reality. Stay tuned for the final reveal where we'll unveil our transformed primary bathroom. As always, we appreciate your support and can't wait to share our journey with you!
