The Reveal: Bathroom Renovation

I can't believe we're finally completely finished with our first room renovation! We started this project back in January and got most of it done in the first couple of months. But the last few months, we've been going crazy waiting for two pieces to come in from the store in the correct color. After way too many phone calls, emails, and trips to the hardware store, I am finally ready to present our new & improved bathroom!

First off, let's look at the nasty room we moved in to...

Here's our ugly old vanity...

Scary brass mirror and lights...

And now our new & improved bathroom!

These towels were saved from the guest bathroom in our old house. I pretty much designed the room around them.

The framed flower pictures are also from our old house. They used to hang in the stairwell, but I like them much better here and they fit the space very well.

It took awhile, but I was able to find hardware to match the sconces.

This is the reason why we had to wait so long. The first 5 backsplashes we got were scratched or discolored, so we had to keep waiting for replacement ones to come in.

The vanity top is marble. I love the color because it hides dirt pretty well. We chose the faucet to mimic the style of the sconces, cabinet hardware, and door knobs.

Our hidden secret in the room is this mini linen closet behind the door. It's perfect for hiding the stuff we don't need to have out all the time.

And of course, my t-shirt rug that I made last summer is on the floor. This thing has been relocated all over the house, but this is my favorite spot for it.

So one last time, remember my old nasty bathroom...
