Master Bath, Before and After





Here is a look into our 7'6" by 4'3" master bathroom.  When we bought the house, this bathroom had a sky blue sink and a toilet.  That was it.  We moved the wall out a few feet into the master bedroom, creating space for a stand-up shower and turning our closet into a walk-in.  The walls are a lovely grey-blue color.  We have charcoal colored slate tile that I had Matt cut in half so we could make a brick pattern.  I sewed the curtain and shower curtain with a fabric I had been eyeing for a long while but never had a project for it.
 
 
 
We added open shelves with baskets above the toilet to give the bathroom more storage, but not give it a smaller feel.  I found white skeleton leaves at JoAnn's Fabrics and framed them atop a patterned felt.
 
 
 
Above the shower and out into the bathroom ceiling we added glass tile.  In the shower Matt installed lights above the tile to give a nice glow and extra visibility.  The scraping of the grout was one of my least favorite jobs with this house renovation.
 
 
We really only had room in this bathroom for a pedestal sink, which was fine with me because I like the look of them anyway.  We also put in a larger medicine cabinet for storage.  It's nice to not have tooth brushes and other odds and ends sitting out in a bathroom as tiny as ours.
