Master bath: white oak, brass and green

7 years ago

Before, our master bathroom had a massive jacuzzi we had never used and cheap painted cabinets that lacked function. Worse, the tile job in the shower was poorly done with exposed tile edges and other functional problems. I spent a couple of years telling my husband that the tile problem was probably worse in the areas we couldn’t see. Sure enough, when they ripped out the shower the subfloor was covered in mold. It had to be totally replaced, we’re lucky we didn’t end up with our shower falling through the ceiling.


Anyway the fun part was designing all the finishes. I knew I wanted dramatic colors and something that would fit the slight 70s aesthetic in my home. I love wood and brass and green, so that’s what I did. I also wanted a larger shower and a makeup vanity area. I know people take out makeup vanities, but it’s one of my parts of the renovation. The floating vanity has a lift up area where I keep my hair dryer and curling iron. The led mirror is awesome for makeup. Love it. We also have heated floors and a Kohler bidet seat which is fantastic.

    Really nice job. It is so unique. The brass and the green together are awesome, I love the counter. And also the big vanity. What are the materials? And your makeup vanity is terrific. I can see why you love it.

    Gorgeous! What a great job you did. Brava! I love the tile, the vanity, the mirrors- the paint- everything is mesmerizing. Nothing cookie cutter here.

    Stupendous! Color and tile wainscoting. You are speaking my language. Absolutely beautiful.

    Wow, this is impressive. Beautiful mix of materials and colours. Love the vertical tile. If you don't mind, I'm totally saving these pics in my inspiration folder!

    Thanks, Karen Rose! Isn’t a vanity useful? I’m not sure why everyone hates them!

    Mileaday, it’s Gabana Quartzite. I wanted something with movement and loved the rusty veins.

    I appreciate all the feedback, I know it’s a little different. We figure we won’t be moving anytime soon, so we didn’t have to worry what anyone else likes. And my husband is design indifferent, so I get to fulfill all my own wants. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who likes this combo!

    7 years ago! Your bathroom looks like a perfect example of 2026 bathroom trends! We are doing a bathroom right now using green and brass, too. Your makeup/hair area is so neat! I have always wanted one, but never have we had room. After I saw you photo I decided that I need to finally have one, too! Your shower glass looks great, but my husband and I both understood the appeal of the ribbed glass, too (we chose ribbed glass sconces). Fantastic job with the bathroom!
