We bought a nice house, that we have slowly been able to remodel over the last year, into our home. The kitchen was necessary, but this, this was for me. I desired a place to getaway. A retreat. A "mom-cave" so to speak. My dream space.
Master bathroom BEFORE:
cream colored carpet throughout, cultured marble tub and vanities, metal blinds on windows, plastic knobs, ugly taupe walls and brass and "crystal" plastic fixtures...
BEFORE:
My vanity (Jacob's is behind him in the mirror...tub sits between)
Jacob vanity
Water Closet...with a 30 year old toliet and horrible shutter doors.
His and hers walk-in closets are the angled doors, a shower and WC sit behind with doors to bedroom
Our former midget shower (it was TINY, like couldn't put your arms out small) and old gross white tile and brass fixtures and pebbled door
Finally, the entry view. The old whirlpool garden bathtub was NOT my style.
Six LONG months later, I couldn't be happier!
NOW:
My vanity:
White carrara marble, new knobs, undermount sink, chrome faucets, clean and spacious!
Jacob Vanity:
Water Closet:
Good-Bye scary shutter doors, hello new custom door. (That still lets in the light)
a NEW fancy EAGO chair-height toliet (my "throne") and pretty glass tile wall:
No more carpet. Hello modern tile!
And since I am boring you with details...Jacob built me an extra shelf for my overwhelming shoe collection to match my Tiffany blue closet. (Don't worry there are three others you can't see in the picture)
The shower is ALL new. We gutted the shower down to the studs. Removed the hall closet in the foyer to enlarge the space. Raised the ceiling, new plumbing, lights, tile, everything. We added a niche and had a custom frameless shower door installed to complete it.
And the new focal point. Our new tub and filler, floor to ceiling glass tile wall, crystal chandelier. I love walking in to this view every morning.
I think Jagger said it best, "I could stay in here all day!"
It truly is, Magnifico!
