Finished bathroom window finally

13 years ago

I'm sure it won't be to everyone's liking, but I've finished the bathroom window. You may recall the remodel I did two years ago, but I've been struggling as to what to do with the window and how to tie everything together, and the blinds in there previously were both temporary and a pain in the neck because of the window handle and lock. This is what I finally decided on. Both are from Country Curtains (sand colored thermal/blackout lined grass-woven roman shade (with a roller mechanism and hidden handle, not strings) and the new Casablanca valance in blue.

Thank you for all of the comments/assistance along the way. I think it does exactly what I wanted it to do.

I've reposted the befores and afters so that you can see the entire difference.

After renovation (about $27K, there are some conflicting photographs because it was a work in progress for a while):

Looks good. I might have taken the valance to the ceiling for the illusion of a taller window. Appreciate your photos because I'm starting to plan a master bath remodel and a friend had suggested using a solid surface around the shower door ... your picture is a perfect example.

Just commented over in Bathroom Forum--the valance looks wonderful in your bathroom (which is beautiful!).

I had it mounted at the ceiling but it isn't long enough to cover l of the window moulding so it looked weird. I then moved it down.

You may have posted them but I don't remember seeing the before photos. You took a perfectly nice bath and transformed it into an elegant room. Well done. I really like the hardware.

Really lovely! I think that the gold is perfect with your paint and tile, and it is beautifully referenced in the artwork near the sink.

Very nice! Side question regarding one of your pictures: In your bathtub I see some sort of non-slip surface. Is that built into the tub or is that something you added? If it's something you added, what is it exactly? Thanks in advance.

Actually the cat coordinates very nicely with the colors in the bathroom....

Thanks, everyone. The cat is a ragdoll, so she's spot-on as far as the colors are concerned, and she always seems to slip into the photos (at least way more than the dog does).

I cannot believe that someone commented about the bathroom being nice before. It looked like a hospital bathroom complete with a hotel-style vanity ledge and sterile white everywhere. The only things it had that I liked were a giant (but incredibly awkward window) and a heatlamp (both replaced) and a linen closet that I kept. All else was terrible (to me anyhow). I cannot even believe it's the same room, and I had multiple contractors fight me on my ideas (since I designed it myself and was told that it couldn't be done and still get 30"-plus by the vanity and a 5' x 3' shower). I told them so, and I got 33" of distance between the vanity and the knee wall.

Anyhow, enough of memory lane. But the color, as I've mentioned elsewhere, is Benjamin Moore Mount Saint Anne (CC-710) (I used the Aura bath/spa paint).

My kitchen project and granite replacement from the crack caused by my hot mac and cheese dish last December will be the subject of a post in a couple of weeks, and the final master bedroom items should be in then, too.

I had to go back and forth a few times before I could see how each thing changed. It is absolutely stunning.
