Describe your bathrooms in one word: white.
Our bathrooms are far from complete. They lack both color and character, but phase one of mission upgrade was a success. The biggest splurge in this project was flooring. We took 3 bathrooms and one laundry room from standard vinyl to tile that we found and purchased ourselves. We had the same group that did our kitchen take on this transformation and it was absolutely worth the time and money. While we still have a ways to go, the first round of updates have left our bathrooms feeling very bright and clean with a touch of lux.
phase one included:
- tile flooring (basketweave carrara marble & white hexagon merola )
- rope knobs (in chrome)
- Macy's hotel collection towels (hands down, the most amazing towels I've ever used)
- Restoration Hardware extra long shower curtain (guest bath, makes a standard tub shower look fancy)
- extra large glass shower (instead of including a tub in the master bath)
future phases will include:
- paint walls in the master bath and powder room (light grey)
- accessories (storage baskets, art in the powder room)
- new mirrors (in guest and master, I'm not a huge fan of the standard sheets mirrors)
- new lighting (we opted for the standard options in hopes one day upgrading in all three)
- window treatment in the master bath (we frosted the lower half of the window, you're welcome neighbors)
- crown molding in the master

My favorite element has to be the basketweave carrara tile.
I'm struggling most with how to dress up the powder room since the tile is rather busy and it's such a small space. Has anyone seen any fun, small bathrooms lately? The next phases of transformation will happen as buget and time allow, so stay tuned for future project posts!
