As I mentioned yesterday, the master bathroom is a no-go for this first round of renovations. The trade-off is that we can renovate the smaller guest bathroom upstairs so that we have an actual bathroom to use in the meantime. If you need a refresher, here’s what the bathroom look like now:
As you can see, it’s a little bit cramped and not as functional as it could be. We love the tub, and are planning to use that in our master bathroom eventually. But for guests, we really felt like a shower would be much more practical. So here’s our plan…first, we will knock out the “water closet” wall that separates the toilet. Next, we will close up the door to the outside porch. Then, we will insert a porcelain tub into the space where the toilet is currently, and tile in a shower around the tub. We want to move the toilet to the far side of the room, and insert the awesome pedestal sink we found in the middle. Of course we will rip out the hideous vinyl and put down some sort of tile.
I’m thinking we should go with a black and white, clean, simple look for this bathroom. It isn’t very big, so we don’t want a whole lot of “fluff.” I love this inexpensive tile that we found at Home Depot:
And here are a few examples of my bathroom inspiration. I’d like to pull a little bit from each of them:
I love this tub and subway tile
Pedestal sink with cute medicine cabinet
I love the black border mixed in with the polka dot tile, and the sconces
Such a cute hexagonal floor pattern
