While we loved the size of our Master Bathroom, we knew that the baby blue paint, look-alike marble tile and black accents and granite counters weren't the airy, bright, more sophisticated look we were going for. The space is the same layout but feels much larger. We ripped out the built in raised tub and added a stand alone tub with mini chandelier. We took out the dated stain-glass window and did a rain window (so it's not see through) and made it much bigger. The light is so bright in there during certain months, we also got black-out roman shades made to fit the huge window. But I love all the natural light! We opted for real marble stone through out and chose Calacatta Gold in honed. I loved it because it not only had the grey and white colors we love, but also veins of cream, tan, and gold all mixed throughout. This really helps tie in the beachy creamy colors happening in the master bedroom and throughout the house. We opted with a more creamy paint color for the walls (Fine Grain, by BM), with white ceiling to pull that cream color in.
After.
Before in Blue, After in Cream. Same view.
Updated lighting, larger window, tub, and did the marble tub surround. We used smaller rectangle pieces subway style, then pencil liner on both sides of small square accents near the top. We used large rectangle pieces of marble for the shower and main floor, with herringbone accents for the shower floor, and by the sinks.
Before.
After. I love the herringbone accents in the floor, and the stone baseboards.
Before in Black and White.
After in creams. We chose a quartz countertop (Dreamy Marfil) in cream to help pull out more of the creamy tones in the marble and did matching marble backsplash around the top. We went with an off-white cabinet with custom mirrors, and cabinets in the middle. We love all the storage and added outlets in the cabinets for plugging in toothbrushes and curling irons, etc. New Kohler sinks, new lighting, and brushed nickel hardware finished off the space.
We love the results. It feels so warm and inviting but also very elegant and simple.
