Mastering the Bathroom

We’ve been saying for a while now that in order to move in we need to complete the kitchen, master bathroom, and bedroom. Well last week we made major steps toward finishing the master bath!

Now, there’s a lot of corners in this bathroom if you remember the floorplan I showed you here so it’s difficult to get the big picture (pun intended). But here’s an idea of all the beautiful bits and pieces.

The walls are painted Benjamin Moore’s Soft Chamois. This pale cream color is the perfect mixture between all the white tiles with dark grout and antique bronze fixtures.

Jared did all the tiling of the hexagon tiles on the floor and the subway tiles around the tub. For a first timer, I think he did a fabulous job. Especially since I insisted on these cubbies in the wall for all our shower products.

Jared says that there is a definite learning curve but since we had heard so much from our contractors about how difficult tiling is, he felt it was way easier than expected. A straight and level start is key. From then on, it’s just tile by tile, one at a time, and patience, patience, patience.

Our white subway tiles came from Home Depot at a great price and the hexagon floor tiles are from the Tile Shop. We used a pewter color grout to give a nice contrast I think that along with our antique bronze fixtures give an antique, rustic industrial vibe.

I’m purposefully not showing the sink or vanity yet. We’ll have to make a custom vanity due to the space it’s in but we also want to build it custom to use some of the boards from our house that we removed when we took down walls. A reclaimed wood vanity will fit perfectly in this bathroom. For now, my Dad has built a temporary vanity which is hilarious because it’s good enough to go in any bathroom. White table legs with a white laminate top will work just fine now while we move in and build the reclaimed wood one.

We have lots of kitchen projects coming to fruition in the next few days. It’s going to be an epic couple of weeks so stay tuned!
