Master Bedroom Remodel

Master Bedroom Remodel

Today's the day… our master bathroom remodel is done!!! My pregnancies took about as long as it did to birth this new space but my new baby is everything I was hoping for and more! Ready to see? (post includes affiliate links – full disclosure statement available {here}).

Let's start by throwing it back to what our master bathroom looked like before – it was tiny, as in 'I can spread out my arms and almost touch all four walls' tiny with a small corner shower, toilet and pedestal sink:

Our master bedroom is on the first floor and fortunately we had space right off of it to put an addition so that's what we did! Our old bathroom got completely gutted (it's actually now part of our new closet) and an entirely new 190 sf space was added onto it. These are our final plans (done by Kathleen Poirier) – I shaded in the portion that was our old master bathroom so you could see what a HUGE difference we're talking about:

We were limited in the size & shape of the addition by the setback to our septic system and the ability to still have a door leading outside from our family room but we used every square inch that was available to us. Come on in and see!

(crystal & satin brass doorknobs c/o Emtek – available {here})

Soaking Bathtub + Tile Wall

The first thing that you see when you enter through the double doors of our master bedroom is our freestanding tub with statement-making tile wall:

The wall tile c/o Walker Zanger is EVERYTHING – I couldn't love it more! It's their "Rattan" tile found {here} and is a mix of porcelain and marble:

I fell in love with it early on in the planning stages for our bathroom and used it as the jumping off point for the rest of the space. Originally I was planning to use it on the shower floor but had to regroup after my tile guy told me it wouldn't work well there (I needed something smaller to get a good slope to the shower drain) – it was a blessing in disguise because I think it was meant for this spot!

For our freestanding bathtub and tub filler, I wanted pieces with simple, clean lines so the tile wall could be the statement-maker. I ended up choosing {this 67″ soaking tub} which has a nice depth and a not too small but not too big size and {this tub filler} in a brushed nickel finish:

And I added {this small wood stool} in front of the tub to hold a drink or towel:

On to the pendant over the tub – it's large and in charge and I love it (it's available both {here} and {here})! It's 30″ in diameter which is huge but since it's an open weave it doesn't take up much visual space and doesn't block the view out our window:

If you love the look of this pendant but want a slightly smaller size, {this rattan pendant} is very similar.

Bathroom Shelves

Turning to the left of our tub nook, you'll find the floating wood shelves that I installed just a few days ago:

Shelf sources (from top to bottom): White woven basket (medium)  |  Kumquat tree  | Round basket for kumquat tree (small)  |  Gray & white striped planter (holding snake plant) |  Colorful moth art print  |  White wood frame  |  Pair of decorative stacked boxes  |  Glass canister (1 gallon size)  |  Bath bombs  |  Belly basket with tassel  |  Favorite bath towels

I'll share the details on the shelves in just a minute but first let's talk about some of the pretties on them – the white woven basket up top holds extra rolls of toilet paper & this cute belly basket (size small) holds our washcloths:

We also have a jar of bath bombs and a spot for our favorite fluffy bath towels:

My floating shelves are c/o UltraShelf – they are 12″ deep white oak in the pickled white finish and are available {here} (they are generously giving my readers 25% off through this link!). They came complete with all of the hardware needed to hang them and are beautifully made – I absolutely love the finish:

You guys had a LOT of questions about these when I shared them in Instagram Stories so I'll be giving more details about my shelves including installation tips, cost vs. DIYing your own, specifics on the heights I hung them, etc. in a future post (Update! Get all the nitty gritty details on our floating shelves {here}). Underneath our floating shelves is {this lidded seagrass basket – size large} that we're using as our clothes hamper:

Marble Shower

Right next to our open shelving our new shower which is a huge upgrade from the Mork from Ork shower pod in our old master bathroom:

I chose {this 3″ x 12″ Bianco Bello tile} for the shower walls and {this Bianco Bello 2″ hexagon tile} for the shower floor – both are c/o Walker Zanger and are grouted with Mapei's "Frost" grout. I fell in love with this particular marble because it's the perfect not-too-blue, not-too-yellow tone and while it's so very simple, it's also really stunning once installed:

My shower niche is definitely one of my favorite things about my entire bathroom – it was created with the same Bianco Bello tile with Carrara marble shelves that were remnants supplied by my tile guys:

On Shower Niche Shelves: Shampoo & Conditioner Pump Bottles (16 oz white/gold)  |  Body brush  |  Sea sponge

With such a pretty shower niche, it didn't feel right to slap some bright plastic bottles on them so I found {these shampoo and conditioner pumps} that are exactly what I was looking for:

We also have a smaller niche centered under our large niche that's a foot rest for shaving (and also the perfect spot to keep my razor):

I put {this small driftwood teak shower bench} in the corner of our shower as a spot to keep our towel while showering since I elected not to add a towel bar or hooks to our shower enclosure. Right now I have {our tasseled bath mat} resting on it:

For our shower hardware, I was initially planning to use Kohler's Purist shower trim set but was able to find a similar look for a bit less:

I went with {this thin shower head} and {this shower valve trim} in Satin Nickel which coordinates really beautifully with our vanity faucets:

I wanted to have a hand shower for cleaning the shower but didn't want the clutter of a shower bar so chose {this hand shower} that rests on a simple hook:

I kept the glass shower enclosure super simple with straight, clean lines – I wrote an entire post on choosing my glass shower enclosure with cost details {here}.

Bathroom Vanity

Ready to move on and check out our vanity area on the other side of the bathroom?

In order to have two long windows flanking our master bathroom vanity, we had a max of 60″ of space for our double vanity and went with {this double vanity with a weathered wood finish and caned doors} that filled it perfectly. I love how the caning on the front mimics the design of the tile wall:

The vanity came with small silver knobs that I thought looked kinda wimpy so I swapped them with {these frosted acrylic/champagne gold knobs}, using the larger size for the top faux drawers and the smaller size for the doors:

The vanity came with a marble vanity top and sinks so I was good to go there. I simply added two of {these high arc bathroom faucets} in the brushed nickel finish – I love the style of the cross handles:

For lighting, I chose two of {these vanity lights} with glass globe shades placed above the mirrors (and since I always get asked about lightbulbs, I used {these clear globe lightbulbs} in both of my vanity fixtures and the pendant over our tub):

Above each sink I used {these large rectangular mirrors} – I love that the frame is so thin that you can see a good bit of gold from the side but only a small amount from the front which allows for subtle mixing of metal finishes with the brushed nickel faucets:

I found {this pretty woven seagrass tray} for the middle of the vanity – it's the perfect small size to fit in between our sinks! Inside the tray, I have flowers in {this cross base planter}, a decorative glass jar with Q-tips, and {marble stacking pinch pots} that have dental floss in the top and hair bands in the bottom:

On each side of the vanity, we have {this soap & lotion sink set that comes in a cute white tray}. I put lotion on my hands constantly so I'm loving having it right at hand. I also added one of {these small toothbrush holders} to each side of the sink which takes up so much less counter space than your typical large toothbrush holder:

Towel Hooks

Looking at the wall to the right of our vanity, I added three of {these golden champagne robe hooks} for towels:

The hooks are pretty deep so each one can hold both a white bath towel and one of {these gray & white striped towels} I wrap around my head after showering:

Our Water Closet

And finally we'll pay a quick visit to our little water closet:

I put a brass wall shelf above the toilet that holds a few pretty things plus has a bar on the bottom where I can hang our wet washcloths before putting them into the hamper (my exact one is no longer available but {this shelf} is super similar):

On the top shelf I framed {this 11 x 14 rose print} in a white wood frame that I already had and I created a "hello sweet cheeks" printable that I framed in {this brass frame}:

I saved my "hello sweet cheeks" printable {here} for you to download and print for use in your own home if you want – just print it on a standard 8 x 11 1/2 sheet paper and cut it down to fit a 8 x 10 frame.

Moving to the bottom shelf, I found {this round rattan holder for an extra roll of TP} – how cute is that?!:

and to the right of that I added {this new llama planter}:

 For a toilet, I chose {this toilet} which is pretty no-frills but then added {this heated toilet seat} which was actually a parting gift from our contractor 🙂

You can use it on almost any toilet but need an electrical outlet on the toilet wall to plug it into so we planned for that with this space. I also added{this brass toilet paper holder}:

and {this small rattan trash can}:

There's one other space that you still haven't seen and that's our master closet that's to the left when you enter our bathroom:

I'm still working on finishing our closet up PLUS I've already shared a zillion and one photos with you guys today so I'm holding off on the closet tour for a separate post. And believe it or not I have a ton more details left to share on our bathroom, including answering all of your questions on our heated tile floors, the options we chose for our shower enclosure, how I hung our floating shelves, and more so stay tuned! What else do you guys want to know?

Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing in my excitement over our new space!
