The Master Bathroom

This post is not chronologically accurate because the master bathroom was one of the first projects we tackled. And when I say we, I mean we hired a contractor to redo the bathroom before we moved in because we needed it done quickly and at that point were comfortable entirely gutting a bathroom by ourselves (although, after this process my husband is confident he can tackle the hall bath with perhaps a bit of help from a plumber).

Here was the inspiration photo. Which we didn't really nail, but hey we've got the marble mosaic floor and subway tile with gray grout.

The original bathroom was HIDEOUS. It was painted cafe o lait and chocolate brown (including the ceiling) and the previous owners had painted over the pink and blue tile and tub with regular latex paint that was peeling.

Hey what do you know I'm wearing that same shirt again today!

Rebuilding:

Yeah marble mosaic floor that we got on a mega deal of like $2 a square foot. It's worked out so well because the various shades of gray really hide dirt!

 I really like this Ikea sink.

There are only two missing components. I'd love to have a cabinet like this for towels (upper left of photo)

And we have an antique medical cabinet to get powder coated. Apparently there needs to be some kind of door repair that my husband is working on. This is not our cabinet, but quite similar.

Oh man I bet new glass is going to cost like 50 million dollars. We are also still deciding on a color. At first I thought white, must be white. But we've seen some others at a store in Houston that are brightly colored and now I'm thinking an aqua would be cool.
