We’re lastly completed with our third toilet renovation, the lavatory that’s between Mark’s man cave and my workplace/child’s playroom. We tackled it as quickly as we received again from Italy and had a tile man all set as much as be right here the primary week of Could. It took one complete month to fully end with every little thing, however we’re lastly finished! That feels so good! We’re so very proud of the way it all turned out and I’m pleased to say my temper board fully got here to life. We have been nonetheless mulling over a few selections after I posted this temper board, however it all got here collectively precisely as we had hoped. 
As I discussed, Mark had his coronary heart set on an Artwork Deco 1930’s classic type toilet and it was over 2 years in the past that we picked out that wallpaper and acquired it, ready for the room to be finished. We had already changed the countertop and taps as nicely 4 years in the past after we renovated our masterbath. We received the countertop put in in right here as a result of actually preferred the sample and it ended up understanding nice with the tile we selected. We find it irresistible all collectively. A couple of folks requested if we have been protecting the vainness, however since we had changed the countertop and the vainness is actual wooden and in nice form, I noticed no purpose to eliminate it. Plus, the nice and cozy wooden tone of the vainness was the right complement to the heat of the wallpaper. You possibly can undoubtedly see that within the AFTER pictures. I had picked out two colours to contemplate for the bathtub space and Retreat gained out. I received a pattern of it and we each actually cherished the darkish grey inexperienced colour. Although that colour will not be within the wallpaper, I like the way it flows.
Now let’s look again on the BEFORE pics:
All of our loos seems to be similar to this one. Our home was in-built 2005 and this was the look again then. We knew we might sometime renovate all of our loos and we’re lastly on the end line. Plain beige tile, wooden vainness, and a one piece tub.
One giant mirror over the vainness wasn’t what we love anymore.
You possibly can see the countertop and taps are already finished, in order that was a great begin. Additionally discover that there’s a door between the vainness and tub space. We determined to take that out because it actually detracts from the house and there’s no purpose to have 2 doorways on this small toilet. Mark plugged up the hinge holes and repainted all of the trimwork.
A have a look at the one piece tub. I actually thought of protecting this tub, however Mark talked me out of that and we purchased a fiberglass Kohler tub at Dwelling Depot and tiled round it. I do know a tiled tub is so a lot better and quite a bit prettier to have a look at. We had already changed the bathroom in right here with our favourite Kohler rest room so it stays.
One piece tub.
Are you prepared for the AFTER pictures?
It seems to be like a totally totally different house now. I’ll share all of the sources on the finish of the publish, in addition to the tile man we used domestically.
Tada! After an entire month, we’re finished and couldn’t be prouder of this classic type Artwork Deco impressed toilet. Mark searched and located some nice accent items for this space too, which I’ll share close-ups of. We love this marble flooring with circles and squares, heat and funky tones. I really like the way it performs off the vainness and wallpaper.
The wallpaper is from the Escape to the Chateau assortment and we’re very proud of the way it turned out too. I did the wallpaper and it wasn’t not a snap in any respect, however Mark helped me and we received all of it finished in 6 hours in the future. So glad it’s completed. I don’t love doing wallpaper and it’s actually not excellent, however it seems to be good. Mark additionally put up crown molding in each areas and that actually finishes it off. It’s a darkish navy and we thought it will work nicely with the black tile accents we added and it does.
It’s actually exhausting to {photograph} these areas since they’re so small and tight. I discovered the brand new mirrors and Mark discovered the sunshine fixtures. I’ll hyperlink every little thing beneath.
I really like how these play collectively, very complementary. I needed to do a mixture of black and gold and it actually seems to be nice in right here. Mark has a rug ordered so we are going to see the way it works. I haven’t added any towels or cleaning soap dispensers but, however it’s finished!
These fixtures are actually fairly and I really like how they give the impression of being up too.
New knobs, gold and black.
Mark discovered these classic type push button gentle switches and so they actually make the room really feel classic.
Similar with these black and gold outlet covers.
We discovered these Kohler hooks at Dwelling Depot.
Love this marble flooring! It jogs my memory of Italy and that’s a great factor.
Right here’s a have a look at the countertop. It’s Britannica quartz and we received it from Legacy Granite counter tops in Alpharetta, an organization I’ve labored with a number of occasions.
Sink and taps.
I actually love how this room turned out with the wainscot tile partitions in each areas. That contact completely elevates the look of this toilet. And I like how the black marble pencil tile got here out, wrapping all the way in which across the tub. We used a bullnose black tile on the sting of the tub and used a black chairrail tile on the highest of the tiled wall and all of it flows collectively nice. Mark’s additional contact of the black rest room seat is a extremely cool function. He considered that!
It actually has a retro look and we find it irresistible a lot.
The wall colour is Retreat and I believe it seems to be nice. It’s a deep grey inexperienced. I advised Mark we would have liked paintings on this wall and he proceeded to drag out these prints from NYC that he’s had for a really very long time and they’re excellent in right here. Very Artwork Decoish! I debated on simply doing navy just like the wallpaper room, however determined to do a distinction as an alternative and I’m so glad we did.
These are his favourite buildings in NYC, the Chrysler constructing and the Empire State constructing. They give the impression of being so good on the inexperienced wall.
Mark additionally discovered this recessed rest room paper holder and it’s simply the cutest. All of theses touches make a distinction, don’t they?
Right here’s a have a look at the wall coming within the door. You possibly can see the black marble baseboard together with the black chairrail. We’ve at all times cherished a classic look toilet and now we have now one.
Mark discovered this Artwork Deco gentle fixture too which is beautiful.
Kohler tub from Dwelling Depot with tiled encompass. We determined to not put a cleaning soap area of interest in right here, primarily as a result of the studs have been off middle and it wouldn’t have been within the middle of this wall. There’s room on the ledge of the bathtub for cleaning soap and shampoo bottles. This toilet gained’t get used a lot by us.
The bathtub is Kohler from Dwelling Depot and I’ll inform you in regards to the gold Kohler faucet, however I don’t advocate it. We picked it up after which when reno was finished, we known as the plumber to come back out and do what he wanted to do within the wall for the brand new faucet earlier than the tile started. Then Mark learn the opinions on the Dwelling Depot website in regards to the faucet and so they have been horrible. Like 2.5 stars or so. He learn and discovered the primary downside was the bathtub spout had some plastic elements inside that failed or caught or one thing and that when water was diverted to the bathtub, it dumped out within the wall and flooded every little thing. Many individuals had this downside and one individual got here up with an answer and that was to exchange the spout with this Moen spout, in order that’s what we did too. It price an additional $100 to get it, however at the very least it ought to carry out higher. So pay attention to the Kohler Cursiva gold bathe/tub faucet and don’t purchase it! Study from our mistake and discover one other one with higher opinions.
We’re not placing a bathe curtain up, it will be a disgrace to cowl up all that tile now, however we did discover this glass hinged shower door from Wayfair, so that is what we used. It’s hinged and may transfer in or out and appears nice. We had it put in, Mark didn’t wish to DIY this one.
Mark discovered this rug and ordered it in 2×5′ to suit this house completely. It’s flat and really smooth so it doesn’t hamper the door closing. And I really like the Greek Key design, so basic and fairly in a distressed classic design. I’ll hyperlink it beneath. He additionally discovered these black cleaning soap dispensers and I’ll hyperlink these too. It’s all come along with these additions.
In order that’s the brand new toilet! We certain find it irresistible and as you may have most likely observed by now, we do our personal factor and don’t comply with the tendencies. We give you our personal designs and put issues collectively for us. I don’t suppose there can be one other toilet similar to ours round! It’s distinctive to us and really particular. We each love classic type loos and now we have now considered one of our personal.
As traditional, I share the associated fee particulars and I’ll break this one down for you too. It’s not an affordable toilet renovation, however we predict it’s cash nicely spent. We love the way it turned out and it is going to be basic for years to come back.
