Master Bedroom DIY remodel

11 years ago
MB remodel: Painted the 80s oak cabinets, added hardware. New granite counter and sinks. Tore out the carpeting, (Yes, it had carpet!!), and tore out one wall of the shower. Put down new ceramic tile throughout and frameless glass shower walls. Much more open, light and airy! Also installed a rainshower head along with the regular shower fixture.

    Where did you buy the shower doors? They look custom and I'm looking for something similar for my shower. Thanks.

    Super job and great inspiration for freshening up a space. Question: Did you remove the vanity to lay the new floor or just work around it? (Thank you).

    Love the transformation!!! We moved into an 80's house and need to do the master bath also. It has the oak vanities, laminate counters, and carpeting (gross), disgusting jacuzzi bathtub, and no doors leading into the bathroom-although the shower and toilet are behind a door. Have 2 sons in college and a wedding reception to cover this year, so trying to be patient.....Love what you have done!

    Nice choices to make a great master bath that looks modern. What color is the paint on the cabinets?

    Hello,

    Great idea and use of space. The transformation brought the more modern vibe forward in your master bathroom.

    Wow, great transformation! I love how you tore down the shower wall to open it up to the bathtub. Great job!

    Thank you everyone, to answer some questions, the cabinets are painted with rustoleum black satin. The cabinets weren't removed for the tile, but the toe-kicks were tiled along the cabinets, as well as tile rather than base moulding. The shower doors were custom ordered from a local glass company.

    Love the redo. Great job for DIY, as bathrooms require skill. Is that marble on your counters? Looks beautiful, but marble is awful for cleaning and retains rings where wet items are set down. I'm guessing it isn't since anyone doing this scale of DIY would know that. Fab job!

    This looks great and I am sure did not happen overnight. Love it!

    There are a last few little add ins I would recommend; changing out the terra cotta color bases for your plants something more modern maybe a silver color or white? My eye kept getting stuck there.

    I am also curious what the area around the toilet looks like and the window behind, could you provide a picture of that too?
    six2zero thanked Bayle & Co.
  • 11 years ago
    npsue, you're right, the counters are granite. Thank you for the compliments and suggestions! Bayle & Co., I will take some pictures around the toilet this evening. I wish Houzz would allow more than four pictures because I wanted to show the floor of the shower and some other shots.
  • 11 years ago
    I was able to find these pictures.. We are in the process of changing out the white doors and trim to a dark cherry color, and the window treatment has been removed.

    Six2zero. Thanks for posting the additional pics. I've been watching bathroom remodels closely as we are hiring a contractor to gut and redo our en suite. Plan to meet with him next week. My spouse is capable of doing it himself but due to current work pressures, we decided to hire & I will oversee the renno. Love what you did but it won't work for us due to size of bathroom. Ours is smaller. I have a question - we have decided we will never move or sell our house. We just love it too much and have triple lot with gorgeous lakefront. So.....do I go a bit out of the cookie cutter norm,to retain resell value? Or, is it better to fix it up,in our style and taste and just love it's quirkiness? I've been battling a life threatening disease for 10 years now. I'm currently on a new chemo that is showing very positive results. I very well may be cured as all is pointing in my favor.

    What would readers do, putting themselves in my place? Thanks.

    Lovely. What is the name of the granite?
  • 11 years ago
    Sorry I don't know the name of the granite, it was purchased from a remnant yard

    Npsue: best wishes on your recovery! I say if you're never moving, to make the house yours, even if it's a little "quirky" as you say. We are preparing to sell so we are finishing up some upgrades. It'll be hard, since we built this house 23 yrs ago and really love it. But tired of the winters so we're moving south.

    Thanks for posting additional pictures. What a tricky shaped window to work with and the one in the tub area. Fun peek a boo view though, so high up I the mountains it looks like. If nobody can see in the window by the toilet it might be fun to hang a terrarium there or air plant. Nice job, your hard work is paying off!

    Hi, I would like to know the process of painting your cabinets. I read you used rustoleum, did you have to remove, sand, and prime everything? Beautiful renovation by the way, it loooks like a completely different bathroom.
  • 11 years ago
    Great work!
  • 11 years ago
    Great new space!
  • 11 years ago
    NpSue, make your home your very own -- put your own personality into it and don't worry about resale. Enjoy it! I'm speaking from a Realtor point of view; you are not planning to sell anytime soon anyway. Unless a property owner is in it just for the investment, with a definite goal of moving up/on, a house should be a home. Best of luck with your health, I wish you many years of happiness in your home!

    marthagm2005, I used the Rustoleum kit in my master bath on 1982 oak cabinets and the process is very simple. Everything you need is in the kit. Very little prep work is required unless your cabinets are in poor condition, which mine were not, so I did not have to sand at all. The primer is provided so you can just get started! Very pleased with the results, and we are considering tackling the kitchen, especially after getting a bid from a professional painter for $6-7,000!!! And, the bathroom was done six months ago so we've had a chance to see how they've done with wear. No problems with chipping or peeling.
