One Room Challenge: French Elegant Master Bathroom REVEAL

The day is finally here!  These six weeks have flown by and today is finally reveal day for the One Room Challenge.  I’ve been working around the clock to finish my master bathroom makeover and my poor family and home have definitely been feeling my absence.  My dining room table has become a dumping ground for accessories, my downstairs is a sea of laundry, and the fridge is looking a bit bare these days.  Not to mention that while my husband and I have been displaced for our own bathroom, we’ve had to share with our two kids.  And let me tell you, that is a challenge all of its own!

But none of that really matters because the master bathroom is DONE and I’m excited to show you what a dramatic transformation it’s undergone!  First, though, I’d like to thank my incredible sponsors who supported me on this project. (This post contains affiliate links and products provided by Sponsors; however, all opinions are mine.  You can read my full Disclosure Policy HERE)

First, let’s look back at what our master bathroom used to look like in all of its 80’s glory:

 

And here’s what it looks like now!

 

 

This is truly such a different space that I still can’t believe its the same bathroom!  Removing the columns really opened everything up, as does the use of white everywhere.

 

I was nervous that the 2″ hexagon floor would look busy, but it really just blends.  And I’m happy that I went with the 4″ border, despite the fact that the tile guy had a hard time guessing at the border when the cabinets weren’t installed yet!

 

One of my favorite additions to this space is this gorgeous Michelangelo soaking tub from Hydro Systems.

 

If you recall from my inspiration look, I love the idea of a full-length mirror behind the tub.  I had originally planned to purchase one from Restoration Hardware, but once delivered, it looked too heavy for the space.  Instead, I had the cabinetmaker construct a frame for me out of trim.  I then added the top piece and painted the entire thing to look like wood.  I’m thrilled with how this mirror turned out and it really is a statement piece in the bathroom!  More about this DIY project in a later post.

 

Next to the tub, we created a pony wall {half wall} for our shower enclosure.  The wall not only helps with privacy, but also storage, as you’ll see in next week’s post.

 

Remember this gold beauty whose door wouldn’t close?

 

The shower itself is such an improvement over our old one that I can’t even compare the two!  The walls are done in Venato Carrara subway tiles and the floor is a 2″ hexagon.

 

I couldn’t imagine using anything other than an exposed pipe shower in this room and was so happy to find this line of faucets at Plumbing Overstock.

 

Long gone are my too-low, broken cabinets with their yellowing countertops.

 

I had these cabinets custom made to fit the space, and my needs, and couldn’t be happier with them!  I finally have a place to sit and put on my makeup!

 

One thing that this room isn’t lacking is lighting.  Not only do I have two chandeliers in the space and some recessed lights, but also these beautiful sconces that I found on Build.com.  I added shades to each of the sconces that flank my vanity mirrors because I felt it gave them a more traditional look that is in keeping with the rest of my bathroom.

 

The dressing area wasn’t originally part of our makeover plans, but once we decided to have cabinets made, it just made sense to complete everything all at once.  It’s part of a seamless wall of built-ins now.

 

I’m so excited about the storage in our new linen cabinet, which separates the vanity and the dresser.  The built-in dresser is perfect for our everyday items.

We now have shoe storage and a built-in dresser on this side of the room.  And a huge thank you to my mom who raced down to my house to make me a window treatment in time for this photo because I forgot to order one in time!

 

Opposite the dresser is our built-in closet.  This space will likely get a rug at some point, but for now, I love seeing the light from the chandelier reflect on the tile floor.

 

I am still in awe that this is actually my bathroom.  It truly is my dream space!
