I could have talked about an extended whereas in the past that we had lavatory #3 to renovate finally and we lastly are getting round to that undertaking. Right here’s the place we began with that rest room, however I can’t discover a full Earlier than image since we did add a brand new countertop and taps 4 years in the past after we renovated our grasp lavatory. This can be a undertaking we’ve needed to get completed since we accomplished the grasp, we simply by no means received round to pulling the set off and figuring the whole lot out till now. We employed a tile setter to return in and demo the outdated tile and the outdated one piece tub after which we received began. Only a word additionally, none of this lavatory is sponsored in any respect, we paid for the whole lot ourselves.
We went on our journey to Italy and had an concept of what we had been going to do, so we headed to Flooring and Decor and made some selections on flooring. We ended up nixing our unique selection and went with one other one after which it grew to become a matter of pulling all the weather collectively to make the toilet look the best way we envisioned it to look.
This lavatory is between the person cave and my workplace/playroom area and Mark has at all times had the imaginative and prescient of constructing it an Artwork Deco type lavatory. One thing from the 1920’s or 30’s was within the plan and I like classic, so was fully on board with that look. As you see above, we’ve a brand new quartz countertop put in already and that occurred nearly 4 years in the past and we added the black taps later. You too can see the drywall harm that was completed when the outdated counter tops got here out. We’ve been residing like this for 4 years too.
We didn’t have an entire plan at the moment of what we needed to do, however this was the beginning. We nonetheless love that quartz. It was initially meant for the grasp lavatory, however a nook was damaged through the fabrication course of so it wasn’t lengthy sufficient then to work for the grasp tub, nevertheless it was good for this lavatory so we had it put in right here as a substitute, ready for at some point after we would get round to this renovation. That day is right here!
We might have completed plain black and white tiles, however we elevated it a bit and selected a marble mosiac for the ground and black marble baseboards. Flooring & Decor gave us a number of assist in pulling collectively all of the items and it was contact and go on when the whole lot would are available in for our begin date on this undertaking. We had the tile man lined up the primary week of Could and nonetheless didn’t have possession of all of the tile, in order that was just a little nerve wracking. We didn’t need him getting began after which must stall as a result of we didn’t have the fabric, however fortunately for us all of it got here in simply in time!
As you may see, this lavatory was builder’s beige identical to the remainder of the home. Our home is eighteen years outdated now and the whole lot was very clear and nicely maintained, however only a bit boring. So one area at a time, we’ve fully revamped our home into what we love and luxuriate in. This lavatory shall be distinctive and totally different from the opposite 2, however equally as beautiful.
Mark actually rallied to do away with the one piece tub. I wasn’t fully satisfied at first, it added to the price of the undertaking, however we went forward with that plan and removed it and added again an everyday tub to be tiled round. So that is all of the earlier than pics and I’ll present you the plan we’ve in addition to progress pics.
Right here’s our plan!
I put this moodboard collectively utilizing Canva and it offers a very good imaginative and prescient of what we’re going for. We’re nearly there now and ending up all the ultimate touches of this enjoyable classic lavatory. At first I thought-about portray the vainness like we did within the grasp tub reno, however after seeing it with the wallpaper we selected, I needed to maintain that heat wooden tone in there. The wooden will make the area very cozy and heat so I’m leaving it as is. We’re altering all of the knobs on the vainness. FYI, we’re including wallpaper to the vainness room and portray above the tile within the tub space. Proper now, leaning in the direction of the deep inexperienced/grey coloration Retreat for the bathtub space. I thought-about Naval as nicely, however assume the inexperienced is likely to be extra enjoyable. All our doorways are Oyster Bay so I’m planning to maintain that too in there.
As it’s also possible to see, we selected a fairly wallpaper with an Art Deco vibe from Escape to the Chateau present, they’ve their very own store on-line. We had been watching that present on the time and seemed on-line and located it. We like it! We’re doing a mixture of gold and black fixtures, as you may see with the lighting and mirrors. We discovered this mosiac marble flooring at Flooring & Decor and like it as nicely. It’s a fantastic mixture of heat and funky tones and appears beautiful with the vainness too. The black marble baseboards actually set it off in addition to the accents of black across the chairrail and tub space. We added in a marble pencil tile for accent and love the way it all turned out. The tile setter did an awesome job on figuring all that out. I’ll share his information in case you are after I share the ultimate pics. He was very tuned in to what we needed and requested a number of questions as we went alongside.

It seems to be unbelievable all the best way into the bathtub space and he actually did a superb job on the wall tile and that border.
We did have some drywall harm that needed to be repaired, in order that required a professional to return in and deal with that, nevertheless it was well worth the expense. It was above Mark’s pay grade and he didn’t need to attempt to repair it, with all of the lumps, waves and bumps.
Mark discovered this actually cool recessed bathroom paper holder and I like it too. It’s an awesome combine with our different black and gold gadgets.

We had a little bit of a panic time discovering the precise subway tile to go along with the flooring and the countertop. The countertop is heat toned with a vanilla base and grey veins. so stark white subway tile wouldn’t look that nice with it, so after choosing this marble flooring that had heat and funky tones, we seemed and seemed for a subway tile that may mix and eventually discovered this one in Oyster for the partitions additionally at Flooring & Decor. I like the way it all got here collectively and I can’t wait to see all of it completed with the whole lot cleaned and in place. This undertaking didn’t are available in inexpensively in any respect. We selected some nicer marble and tile and that provides up in addition to hiring out the tiling, these had been the two greatest bills, however I’ll share a breakdown of the whole lot as nicely after I do the ultimate footage. However we expect we received a number of bang for the buck! It’s not an excellent excessive finish renovation.
We’re nonetheless engaged on it this week and hope to get it completed quickly. Mark is hanging crown molding and I’m hanging wallpaper after which all of the ending touches will occur. We discovered a 1/2 glass bathe door with a hinge that we are going to get in place too as a substitute of a bathe curtain. So keep tuned for the finale, I’ll be sharing it as quickly as I can.
