I also could not have accomplished all of this without the help of the panarican_handyman who worked tirelessly to meet this deadline. Also thank you to the hubby who was away for most of the process, but returned toward the end and helped me accomplish those last minute tasks- thank you my love! AND big shout out to our friends who gave up their Sunday to help with the installation of our new delicious closet system. Thank you too to Lea Hartman who captures all my hard work so beautifully.
Recap:
Week 1/Week 2/Week 3/Week 4/Week 5
Ok, without further ado, let's dive into the reveals. First up is the bathroom. For the bathroom renovation, the layout remained the same but it was a total gut job. My main goal was to make it feel bright, airy, and spa-like in here. I wrestled with whether or not I would wallpaper or repaint with color. Here are a couple before pics for quick reference below.
before - it was so dark and dated
And voila! After many sleepless nights obsessing about what I was going to do with the walls, I decided to repaint them and the ceiling in one of my favorite whites, Benjamin Moore Cloud White. It took me a number of days to get rid of that dark color in the before but what a transformation! As I mentioned before, we gutted the bathroom and replaced almost everything(except the tub).
The vanity lights are from Hudson Valley and are perfect in here! I love the abstract element the art pieces I chose from Minted add to the space. I also obsessed about what finish to use and while I am smitten with brass, i settled on brushed nickel for most of the finishes, especially since that's the finish throughout the rest of the house. I did incorporate some brass via the lighting and mirrors, and art frames, but it all look great together.
As I mentioned before, we gutted the bathroom and replaced almost everything(except the tub). The existing floor tiles were replaced with these striking Firenze Carrara Polished Marble 12x24 Floor Tiles from The Tile Shop. They are so pretty and the subtle designs in the tiles add depth and interest to the space.
The bulky his and hers vanities that took up a lot of visual space before gave way to these modern and beautiful versions from Signature Hardware. The white washed finish adds more texture and movement to the space and I am smitten with the self closing drawers. The Palora round mirrors are also from Signature Hardware and help to break up the square shapes in the space.
My color loving self couldn't resist these subway tiles from The Tile Shop and I thought the rose color was a great opportunity to continue coral/pink color story from the Master bedroom. I opted to use these marble tiles from The Tile Shop in the same family as the floor tiles in the shower pan and added a touch in the niche. I updated the shower faucet with the same brand that was there before as I found out that I needed to make sure the plumbing behind the wall was compatible with whatever the new replacement was. I learned so much throughout this process. I kept the brushed nickel finish which complements the shower tiles beautifully.
The Hangrohe faucets I chose are simple but perfect for the space.
I kept this wallpaper that is in the commode area but added this darling light fixture from Hudson Valley- so lovely!
I said I wouldn't repaint these doors(see week 5), but I did! It's no secret that I have been crushing on yellow/ochre so I had to incorporate it somehow in the makeover. I love how it pops against the white and I am a sucker for contrast. It's Sherwin Williams Overjoy and aptly named.
These Emtek knobs are the perfect finishing touch.
I decided to keep the original tub because I couldn't afford a new one plus this one is still in perfect condition and works just fine. We wrapped it with the same marble floor tiles and kept the existing tub faucets. I added some texture with this lovely basket from Garnet Hill. Towels are also from Garnet Hill.
OK, now onto the closet. It's tiny and though I would've loved to be able to add windows, that was not an option. However, I am loving the transformation. Thank you to our sponsors Overstock and Lifecore Flooring who made this closet transformation possible. I wanted to wallpaper, but soon realized that since it's such a small space, the wallpaper would've faded into the background once the closet system was installed.

I am so happy to come in here each day. I repainted and continued the Cloud White in here. I also replaced the dowdy carpet with wood floors. The beautiful floor is from Lifecore Flooring and I love that not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but it is also environmentally friendly.
The new Pur by Bestar closet system from Overstock is like a dream come true! That gorgeous mirror is such a great addition and opens up the closet, plus would you believe that we've never had a full length mirror before?
I love this storage idea for bags from Overstock!
Another glimpse at those pretty Lifecore Floors!
I love this view and those Emtek knobs are shining!
I plan on following up with a video tour of the closet as it was difficult to capture it all due angle and its miniature size:-). Stay tuned
The Bedroom- A Mini Refresh
I didn't do much in the bedroom, but after being a dumping ground and riddled with dust for 6 weeks, it deserved some tlc. I added those beautiful drapes made by a local seamstress, Hannah. Thank you Hannah! The velvet coral fabric is from Fabricut and ties in nicely with the coral wall color. Those stately and elegant table lamps from Couture lamps are ridiculously stylish! The most scrumptious and luxurious bedding to ever touch my skin are from Garnet Hill (linked individually below)
I can't stop drooling over this ceiling light from Hudson Valley!
I am loving this pair of art from Minted in this corner.
This blue chair also got a nice facelift
