At long last, we’re calling the main bathroom (we started working on, oh, mid April) d-o-n-e. What were we waiting for? False vanity drawers.
That we didn’t make. After all these months of waiting on a few drawers, we decided they weren’t worth the effort (and the sizes didn’t work well). Because they had absolutely no purpose other than looking like drawers. Instead, Ben cut a few pieces of MDF down, nailed them in place so I could finish painting.
The rest of the room was already done. Months ago. Except the dark gray painted door. I did that in December.
Officially our first completely finished room in this house. Woohoo, we’re on a roll…hopefully. Family room, I’m looking at you; get your act together already.
A few new accessories round it out, like these two bucks for three clearance cups from World Market.
And a navy and coral Without You print to hang above the throne.
Just because it makes me laugh.
Ahh, feels good to close that chapter. Finish any long-standing projects recently?
I love how fresh this bathroom feels! Great color and finish choices. I love how unexpected the color combos you picked out were. Bravo!
Hey Jennifer!
Aww, I’m blushing! Thank you so much for your amazingly sweet, encouraging comments. I’m loving the colors and brightness, too. 🙂
Thanks!
Amanda
Woohoo! Looks awesome! Can you give a rundown on the paint colors for the walls, vanity, and door? Thanks!
Hi Karyl!
Thanks so much! The walls are a 25% tint of Glidden’s Wood Smoke with off the shelf white for the trim, vanity is Chicago Blues by Ben Moore, and the doors are Squirrel from Behr – color matched to Glidden’s Duo paint. 🙂
Thanks!
Amanda
Love how it turned out. Congrats. Your husband is so handy too and does amazing work.
Hey Sarah-Nadine!
Thanks so much! He really is a handy guy to have around. 🙂
Thanks!
Amanda
Woohoo! I love it, but I’m sure you love it even more. So question: How long did you sit in the bathroom staring at it? I always do that when I finish a project. Just sit. And stare, stare, stare. Inside, I’m giving myself about a million high fives and pat-on-the-backs. Haha!
Hi Hevel House!
I am so happy to actually have it finished. Most of the staring happened earlier on, because it took us months just to get the vanity done. Haha.
Thanks!
Amanda
I absolutely love how you two did that larger piece of trim where the baseboard meets the door trim. Love the top of the doors as well. Picture framing the trim around the doors is just too blah. Yours is classic. When we replaced trim throughout our house I looked for ideas and I wish I had seen your work first!
Anyway, thanks for the ideas.
Hi Lindsay!
Thanks so much for your kind words! Simple lines with a little interesting detail is what we were aiming for. Glad you’ve gotten an idea or two. 🙂
Thanks!
Amanda
Yaaay! It looks so good. Such a big difference from the before. I love the color of the vanity. Great Job! You guys really know how to do renovations right:)
Hi Shavonda!
Thanks so much! You’re too sweet. It really is so different than the start, both looks and function. 🙂
Thanks!
Amanda
Its looking great and while I just read about the catastrophe with the toilet leaking, I can totally relate. While we were renovating our upstairs master bath(1860 home), we didn’t know that there was a leak somewhere. Not only did water soak down into our dining room below, but its happened THREE times since we’ve lived here! Don’t be in a huge rush to get your floor tiled back again. MAKE SURE its all fine and done before you proceed. Trust me, it saves a lot of headache in the long run.
*On a side note, Id love to know where you got the man/woman bathroom sign. I love it!
Hi Sarah!
Oh, I’m so sorry to hear you had such problems. Water damage is terrible. I actually made the man/woman sign. Here’s more about it: https://ourhumbleabodeblog.com/2012/07/11/un-homme-une-femme/
Thanks!
