I have always loved homes, nesting, and creating my own personal spaces.
I have lived in my current home for about a year and a half. Without any experience in design or (much less) contracting, I took on a HUGE, GI-NORMOUS project. The home was sad, very neglected and crying out for love. Sign me up!
The biggest problem was that there was only one bathroom on the main floor and it was in the master bedroom! Not a good scenario for having guests over. Originally, there was a powder room that was turned into a kitchen pantry. I wanted both.
We were prepared to go for it – but don’t EVER ask me to go there again.
Here was the master bathroom before:
Corner tub took up half the space in the room
Outdated shower
The sinks were not even in the same room! So, out it all came…
Corner where the old tub was
Expanded the room, switched the toilet area with the shower area, going to add a vanity
I wanted a walk-in shower, no glass
I always wanted a cast iron slipper tub! My vision came together like this:
A peaceful retreat
Bathroom corner now
My favorite stained glass
Sinks in the bathroom, what a concept!
Adding the details I love
Mixing the old and new
A collection
Bottle with Bee
I recently read a new commandment:
“Thou shalt indulge in a milk bath once a week,
this will nourish and soften your dry skin like nothing else!”
I’ll show you the new half bath on the main floor another time . . . I’m worn out just looking at these pictures and remembering.
Donum of Visum
