Oooohhhhh here we go! The total reveal of our budget master bathroom. It’s not really a renovation or remodel per se…we created this bathroom out of thin air. Well technically it was air from the master bedroom and the living room we stole to create a bathroom…you get the idea.
Originally the plan was to get a really really cool black steel & glass shower enclosure so we choose budget & thrifted items for the rest of the bathroom…and then as the renovation costs increased (as they always do) and I came across a really cool shower curtain from CB2, we scrapped the glass enclosure plan and did two shower curtains.
For the shower walls we choose simple square subway tile…about $1/square foot. The floor tile came from Floor & Décor and was about $2.50/square foot. We got all crazy with $7/square foot penny tile in the shower floor.
The vanity is an Ikea Godmorgon vanity with custom walnut fronts from Semihandmade. The faucets are from Signature hardware and the copper pulls from schoolhouse electric.
And the mirror…let me tell you about the mirror. Many moons ago, I bought a dresser off a girl on craigslist, and we went to pick it up and she told me I could have the mirror that went with it for free. I stored that thing in our garage for 3 years, and then moved it across the country waiting for the perfect place to use it.
Here it is in all of it’s glory.
The light fixture is from a shop on etsy.
We splurged on two areas- I choose to have both of the walls tiled, instead of just the actual shower. It was a little more money in labor (product itself was only about $50 more) but we went for it because it changes the whole look of the bathroom to have tiled walls.
The second area was heated floors. It cost about $600 or so to have the heated floors and living in Michigan is SOOO worth it. Those tiles are FREEZING in the winter without it on, and my kids appreciate the heat on their bums when they’re getting dressed in the morning (oh you thought the master bathroom was just for us?! Ha..)
Just goes to show you don’t HAVE to spend a ton of money of items to get a really nice looking and well designed bathroom.
