master bath update reveal!

Hello again friends!

A long awaited project has finally been completed! This is probably our longest project to date due to several weeks away this summer, a sciatic nerve, and just plain busyness, but we are still really pleased with how our master bath update turned out!


After updating our guest bathroom earlier this year we knew we had to make the quality of our master bath match. Like other areas in our home, nothing had been updated from the builder grade fixtures when this house was built in the early 2000s. Of course, we wanted to stay budget friendly, but ended up spending a little extra on the vanity top. Jumping up to two sinks dramatically increases the price from a one sink vanity. Although the bathroom was already painted a light blue it was in desperate need of a fresh coat. We choose to stay in the same color family and ended up with a brighter blue color.

Here are some before photos, with our cat posing of course!





Justin used Rustoleum's Cabinet Transformations in black to update the plain oak cabinets. We custom ordered a gray and white marble vanity top from Lowes and added bead board, which really adds a lot of visual interest in the space. We also updated the lighting and other fixtures to match.

Finding mirrors to fit this space proved to be a challenge because of where the light switch and an outlet are located! I actually have 2 other mirrors that didn't work out that I need to try and sell because it was too late to return them!

Check out the after photos:









It is such an improvement! Even the tub area that I have never been crazy about looks much better now! I am still not crazy about the shower, but that is an entirely different level of updating and not quite "budget friendly." 

You may remember that when I shared some inspiration for this project here that I mentioned I had plans for a chunky shelf above the toilet. That is something that is still in the long term plans, as well as some decorating, but at the moment we have a nursery to finish! :)
