Master Bath renovation

4/1/2020

3 Comments

 
Our master bathroom was an eye sore that I couldn't stand for years. The flooring was faux wood panels in ebony that had a ton of bubbles and one area where they weren't feathered in, but in a straight line. The builder grade 1990's light fixtures and mirrors were bad... just bad. Oh, and look closely you'll see sea- shell shaped sinks. The white paint had yellowed as had the counter tops (not to mention several curling iron burns). The shower was tiny and the tub spray black flecks every time you ran it. Ohhh yeah... and the oil rubbed bronze shower and fixtures? They used to be 90's brassy brass and the previous owner spray painted them. Which, on fixtures that you move & touch, does not work. There was paint flecks falling off every fixture in that bathroom (the floor was constantly covered in paint flecks, daily).

​Here's the "BEFORE" pictures:

I finally convinced the husband to start updating with me in a phased approach so we could pay for it out of pocket as we go. As a rule, we do not like to take out loans or use credit cards if at all possible.

Phase 1:
  • ​Remove the oil rubbed bronze spray paint from the shower using mineral spirits and a lot of elbow grease
  • Replace builder grade mirrors with three Pier 1 Imports' Golden Rounded Edge Mirror (item 3637009) for $150 each with T&S. Unfortunately those are sold out now, but Pottery Barn Teen appears to have an almost exact version for $150.
  • Replace old hardware with new:
    • Purist Pivoting Toilet Tissue Holder by Kohler in Vibrant Moderne Brushed Gold
    • Purist Wall Mounted Towel Ring by Kohler in Vibrant Moderne Brushed Gold
    • Ingot 5 1/16" and 3" Center to Center Bar Pulls By Belwith Keeler in  Brushed Golden Brass
    • Purist 1 1/16" Diameter Mushroom Knob by Kohler in Vibrant Moderne Brushed Gold
    • Purist Deck- or Wall-Mount High-Flow Bath Valve Trim with Cross Handle by Kohler in Vibrant Moderne Brushed Gold
    • Spancraft Glass Peacock Glass Shelf, Brass, 6 x 12
  • Replace light fixtures with new lights:
    • Evan 3-Light Vanity Light with Clear Glass by Foundstone in Aged Brass
    • Evan 4-Light Dimmable Vanity Light with Clear Glass by Foundstone in Aged Brass
    • Evan Chandelier 4-Light Unique / Statement Globe Chandelier by Foundstone in Aged Brass
  • Replace counter tops with new marble counter tops and sinks. Including fabrication, demolish and installation for $1,500 by Ralph Davila @countertopsolution. 
  • Fresh paint on existing cabinetry, trim, doors, ceiling and walls:
    • Walls: Benjamin Moore Paper White OC-55
    • Tim/doors/ceiling: Benjamin Moore Oxford White CC-30
    • Cabinets: Benjamin Moore black pepper 2130-40
