Small Bathroom Reveal

11 years ago
last modified: 11 years ago

With the exception of a few paint touch ups, it's done.

Details:

Tile - Dartmoor, in the color Dolomite by British Ceramic Tile

Tub - Kohler Devonshire

Toilet - Kohler Memoirs

Vanity - Beverly by Kitchen Bath Collections

Faucet - included with the vanity and it's terrible. Had I seen it before the plumber spent ages installing it I'd have run to Lowes and bought something else. It'll be replaced down the road.

Shower and Tub hardware - Symmons, Carrington

Grab bars and towel bar - Moen, Kenneington Collection.

This was a gut remodel. I did the demolition and installed the wainscoting, painting and light fixture and secured the vanity to the wall. I hired out the plumbing and tile work. Final cost was about $5600

      Thanks Jeanette, the upper wall is Gray Owl and the wainscoting is White Heron, both Benjamin Moore. I'll update my post to include the info. In my room the Gray Owl has the faintest hint of green to it.

      Christina, it looks really expensive and classy. You nailed it 100 %! ! Especially love the vanity and mirror.

      My bath has the same layout. I want to do wainscoting as well, but am afraid of wood damage from water when the shower is used. Also want a big window in the tub area but am fearful of water leaks. There's a window now but it's narrow and high. Would you please respond to both of these issues.

      christina222_gw thanked texasgal47
    • 11 years ago

      Thanks Texasgal. As far as the window goes it's been there forever and survived direct hits from four hurricanes. I'm not worried about it. I don't actually like it and would have replaced it with a better looking one had the budget permitted though. In any case it's tiled all around and the sill is pitched so water runs off.

      I had some concerns about the wainscoting and water too but,

      A: I saw it everywhere and it seemed unlikely that all those houses on Houzz and pinterest were having issues.

      B: I buy all my paint at a paint store and I consulted with the experts there and they guided me on appropriate paint and primer for the location.

      C: I have no kids. There will not be tons of splashing around going on in there regardless.

      And finally D: I put it up myself and if there ever is an issue I can take it down myself. :)

      I say go for it on the wainscoting. It really adds a lot to the room. Another option is if you're really worried you can get a similar effect by putting up a faux board and batten. Apply battens directly to the wall, you can even use PVC 'boards' for this. I seriously considered doing that for a long time.

    • 11 years ago

      Your new bathroom looks beautiful and so much larger without the dark shower tile. Nice job! I'm looking for a similar mirror. How long ago did you purchase that one at HomeGoods? Can you share the measurements? You must be really happy with how it all turned out!

      christina222_gw thanked nesting67
    • 11 years ago

      I just got it on Saturday. I'm not home right now but I remember the long measurement was 32"

    • 11 years ago

      Wow. It looks a lot bigger than 32". What size width is your vanity?

    • 11 years ago

      It looks bigger to me too! The vanity is 47 1/2". You can't see it in the pictures but there is about a 3" gap between the left edge of the vanity and the wall, the counter has a finished edge on both sides and the front, so it does give a furniture feel to the vanity.

    • 11 years ago

      You did a great job. It's really beautiful..

    • 11 years ago

      Christina, thank you for taking the time to respond to my two questions. You talked me into doing either the wainscoting or a skin with batten molding. I haven't decided yet whether to spring the extra $$$ for a window. Your bath is a great inspiration for me to consider when I do my remodel.

    • 11 years ago

      Thanks Michoumonster! I got some good deals. I only paid $600 for all the tile. That helped a lot.

    • 11 years ago

      Wow, this is sooooo nice! Great job!
      You mentioned that you don't like the faucet that came with.
      What about the quality of the vanity?


      christina222_gw thanked nosoccermom
    • 11 years ago

      I'm very happy with the quality of the vanity itself. It looks really nice and the fit and finish are good. It's only the faucet that's not good. They call it a free add on and it's just what you'd expect for a free item.

    • 11 years ago

      Lovely!
