Finished Master Bath Pix (well 98.9% finished )-Updated

2 years ago
last modified: 2 years ago

I've taken some pix and shared them piecemeal, but here are the ones from the contractor's photographer. Anyway, I am thrilled.

It was a super sunny day and we had the blinds fully open. Typically we keep them partially closed . The color of the vanity and especially the shower floor photographed much more orange than in real life . I added one photo that I took to show the shower floor and it's very different.

Anyway, all that needs to be done is the grab bars, and the mirror changed for one that s 4 inches longer.

We'll see how many photos I can post.......












and here is my photo of the floor!


to be continued not to press my luck.

    Oh Salonva, it is gorgeous. I especially love the shower floor tiles . I could see myself soaking in that tub! Enjoy!

    It looks very serene and smart. I love how your marble is interesting but not too busy.

    It's beautiful and you made all the right choices. Too bad about the sconces though.

    It's beautiful! You know I have been following along closely as ours is just beginning. We are 1 week in now.

    Can you put brighter bulbs in the sconces? I wonder if it's because the glass isn't clear that it's not as bright as you want. Now you have me worried! Our sconces have clear ribbed glass. And they're doubles (light up and light down - hope that makes sense). Anyway, yours look beautiful. If you decide at some point to change them out, it's not a big deal. If that's the only complaint you have, you did a fabulous job!

    I especially love your shower floor tile as it's very similar to what we're doing in the whole bathroom (shower and floor).

    Good job!

    It looks beautiful!

    For the sconces you could try a higher lumens output bulb.

    I see that Feit sells a 75 watt equivalent that might work in your fixture. (800 lumens)

    You must be so happy to have it finished. I think you made some lovely choices. Too bad about the sconces, but as you said, you have plenty of overhead light to increase the overall brightness in the room.

    Thank you for the lovely feedback.

    The vanity--- is sold by many vendors, most calling it a different name. I never was able to see it in person ; stricly online. I ended up ordering it from Home Depot. After reaching out to several vendors Home Depot was the only one who indicated it was in stock.

    I think it's an imitationof a pottery barn one, but that has marble ( real marble) which was a no go for me.

    It's Altair Solana. The countertop came with it in a separate box I had no choice . They were very helpful in sending photos of the countertop. I gambled and I like it a lot.


    I've wondered if I can up the light bulbs but I was afraid and used strictly what they said to use. We're going away tomorrow for a few days so when I come back I will definitely check into the lightbulbs.

    Salon, it turned out so beautiful! You must smile every time you go in there. :)

    Looks very pretty - all of your selections are perfect together!


    As suggested above, increasing the light you receive from your sconces should be possible - it would be nice if you didn’t have to replace them.

    Really nice job. Congrats. What is the wattage recommended for the lights and what do you have in there now? You can certainly get an LED equivalent that will be much brighter.

    Thank you- I am so happy with it.

    This is the sconceMercer Single Tube Sconce Chrome . It says

    • BULB (1):
    • Type B 60 watts; (Bulb(s) not included)

    that is what I got- an LED.FLSNT Dimmable Candelabra Light Bulbs 60W Equivalent E26 Base, B11 LED Chandelier Candle, 2700K Soft White, 6 Pack

    I was on the phone with Pottery Barn asking if this was the bulb ( because Pottery Barn sold a bulb for a crazy $) and they said this was it.

    I'd be happy to replace the bulb and see it brighter. I am just chicken as I thought this was the maximum. I'm thrilled t learn I was wrong....... do tell~ I'm not considering replacing the sconces. I'd love them to be brighter, but as I said, I do have additional lighting. Iwas just surprised that they don't actually offer more than good looks.

    Just lovely, and a dream tub too!

  • 2 years ago

    Very nicely done! The time you took in planning really paid off. And I love the warm touch the vanity adds to the room. Enjoy!

  • 2 years ago

    Light bulb shopping has become a skilled task. I looked up your "LED.FLSNT Dimmable Candelabra Light Bulbs 60W Equivalent E26 Base, B11 LED Chandelier Candle, 2700K Soft White, 6 Pack". They are 4.5 watts each. Yes, confusing because it says 60 W equivalent. It means this uses 4.5 watts of energy but should look like what a standard 60 watt incandescent bulb would look like.


    You can go way up - you've only actually used 4.5 watts. You want to find a bulb that is more like a 75 or 100 watt equivalent. This one is 5.5 watts and supposed to look like 75 watts -AMAZON


    You might also want to look at getting 3000k, which will be a more white light instead of the slightly yellowish light you have now.

    Love how it turned out! I think the warm wood really adds a lot to your room. You mentioned the windows. Have you considered bottom up shades? I love that they can be raised just enough for privacy but you still get light and a view from the top.

    The Feit bulb I linked to uses 7 1/2 watts and puts out about 300 lumens more than the 60 watt bulb in a B10 bulb. I would definitely give that a try.

  • 2 years ago

    I hope other bulbs will help. The entire reason for using sconces in a bathroom is so you can get a good view of your face for shaving, tweezing, applying make-up, etc. It's annoying that Pottery Barn would sell a sconce that doesn't function for its main purpose. I might pursue returning them if the other bulbs don't work as the salesperson assured you they'd be fine and her assurance was a factor in you buying them.

    It’s perfection, Salonva.

    So lovely! So bright and spacious. Great tile selections, and the vanity and tub are perfect. Congratulations and enjoy!

  • 2 years ago

    It’s so good! Now you get to enjoy it.

  • 2 years ago

    It is so on trend, but the vanity makes it just a little bit different. I love the rug you chose and hope you post when that is in.I might add some bamboo blinds to the windows in a light color like your vanity.

    So one more update. The bath mats came and I think I like them. They are very good for bathroom as they are totally washable and have a gripper thing on the edges of the underside.

    I haven't removed the tags yet. I think I'll keep them and might alternate with just a small shower mat ( white) and nothing in front of vanity, and using these. They are a little less vibrant than I pictured but I think they work. What do you think?

    Thank you for the suggestions- my houzzdecorators.

    Were those the rugs that were on Anthro back-order? I think they look great in your bathroom. I really like the them - colorful and pleasing to the eye, and I think the stripe makes them a little more modern. If they were really vibrant they'd be shouting 'hey, look at me'.

    The rugs are the anthro ones that I thought were suggested on this thread but must have been another one. Pretty sure Mtn spotted them. They were on backorder but are now back in stock.Anthropologie Norse Bath Mat

    Maire, each time I start out determined to find better light bulbs I get distracted and or nervous and haven't done it yet. The thing is, with the additional ceiling lighting , it's bright . It would be nice(R) though if just the sconces gave the good light.

    Salonva, your bathroom renovation is gorgeous! I love it! Enjoy 🙂🙂

    Those rugs are perfection! They really are the perfect color for your bathroom.

    Did you have the new larger mirror hung yet?

    I think you really can't mess up with LED bulbs. They don't give off heat and therefore don't have the same risk as the old bulbs did. Go for it!

    salonva thanked jsk
  • 2 years ago

    I have to thank my gardenweb houzz decorators. I never would have stumbled on those rugs or the sconces and all the feedback was very helpful in making decisions.

    I may post again about the lighting for the sconces with more questions. I don't know why I'm so intimdated with the bulbs. Everything electric scares me- but I will try.


  • 2 years ago

    Love your bathroom! Love the rugs, but then of course I do. I love how they are non-bathroomy, but washable!

    What color paint did you use for the walls? What white paint did you use for trim?


    Are the baseboards regular wood? I like the idea of running them across the front of the shower curb.


    Last Q - how much overhang did you do for curb/top of pony wall? It alpears that you used tile on the jambs - and solid white material for top of curb and pony wall. Did you use solid white quartz - or a different material? Would you mind sharing details of exact material used? Thanks!


    The rugs looks nice!
