GREEN, BLUE AND WHITE MASTER BATHROOM REVEAL PART 2

Posted by admin on



After over a year of working on it, I'm beyond thrilled to finally pronounce our Master Bathroom makeover 100% finished!  I've been working really hard to get the last details wrapped up and get the space photographed so I could share it with you before we step into the holiday season.  I can't tell you how pleased I am and proud of how our green, blue and white Master Bathroom turned out!  (All available sources are listed at the end, and don't miss the fun video recap of the entire reno process close to the end of the post too!)

As a reminder, here's where we started 14 months ago-  


and here's where I left you in July with the first reveal-



and here's where we are today... completely finished inside and out!  


When I shared the initial reveal with you earlier in the Summer, all of the major pieces were complete, but I hadn't fully accessorized the room yet.  I also hadn't finished some of the unseen parts, like painting the inside of the vanity under sink cabinets and linen cabinet, and organizing those spaces along with the shoe cabinet... and generally just fully fluffing everything up!  


I took my time to consider how I wanted to finish off the room, and came across pieces that I wanted to add as I waited.  I found this tufted ottoman on Facebook Marketplace and reupholstered it to have a spot to sit and put on shoes.

Pink Bow Flats


Adding a rug was a huge game changer!  If you were here along the process, you know I debated using one large rug or two smaller rugs at each vanity.  I'm SO happy with the large rug, it really helps fill the space!  I did buy two small scatter rugs to use at the vanity when we want something warm underfoot, but we haven't been using those all the time and keep them tucked away when not in use.  You might also remember me saying that I wasn't going to use any pink in this room... well that didn't pan out!  Ha!  I tried, I really tried!  ;)  I looked at so, so many blue and white rugs, thinking that was the direction I was headed, but not one felt right for the room and just fell flat.  The room didn't start to really sing until I added in the pink!  It was still tough to find a rug with the right colors- pink, navy, and green... especially finding something with a little bit of the right color green.  I came across this rug with just enough around the border of the rug, and it's worked out great!  


I know, there is a LOT of color and pattern going on in here, and I couldn't love it more!  Nothing really matches, but I think that everything coordinates and works together just fine.  


And, we've finally used our tub!  It's so deep compared to our old huge oval tub and we're completely pleased with it.  




I made a few minor tweaks in the accessories I had used initially, like changing out the brass towel rings that I started with.  As I considered adding some artwork above the towel rings, the composition just wasn't feeling right for me.  I decided that I needed a straight towel bar instead, and once again partnered with Luxholdups (their beautiful products are in my powder bath too!)  and installed their gorgeous brass and acrylic open ended towel bars to use at our vanities.  Best decision ever!  I needed a custom size to fit properly on my side of the room next to the medicine cabinet, and they can make any size you need with no problem!  They are so classic and timeless, perfectly in line with the design style that I was going for.  


I also finally landed on some artwork!  All along I planned to use some pretty vintage watercolors that I've been hanging on to for a while, but when I got them up they weren't right in the space.  They had an aged looking tan background and really didn't fit with the crisp colors of the room.  I'll definitely be finding another spot for those, though!  A brainstorm came to me as I was waking up one morning, and I remembered I had these Audubon bird prints that I used to have hanging in the Dining Room a long long time ago.  My two favorites- the heron and the flamingo- were the perfect colors for the room!  


I also finally got this vintage chandelier cleaned up, painted, and installed.  It was covered in so much dirt and grime!  I tried a million shades of light blue spray paint but nothing seemed right, so I ended up painting it my favorite good old Rustoleum Navy.  I like the visual weight it adds with so much white in the rest of the room, and it perfectly ties in the navy trim on the pagoda window cornice (see cornice tutorial here). 


Moving into the water closet, it just got two new little accessories.  I came across a bamboo plant stand and originally bought it for another room, but then realized it was the perfect size to fit in a little corner of the room.  I love the warmth that the finish adds, and it's nice to have a spot for some greenery!  



I also made over an old wooden box to sit on top of the toilet by spraying it and adding this medallion clasp to the front.  I've been hanging on to this brass piece for years- it's another piece like the one I used as a handle on the green laundry basket under my vanity.  I removed them from an old wicker trunk that had worn out before we pitched it- I knew they would come in handy for a special project some day!  There are some things that we need handy near the toilet but might not especially want out on display- right ladies?- that this is perfect pretty storage box for!  



Another big part of totally completing the room that wasn't done for the first reveal was organizing the cabinets.  Remember we extended this existing linen cabinet to the ceiling-



and it's the perfect spot to store bulky things like extra lampshades and comforters that aren't currently being used.  I found some gingham baskets that were the perfect size to fit the shelves.  It's nice to be able to pull them out like a drawer so things don't get lost in the back of the cabinet.  We also added some shelves- the two large sections used to just have one shelf each in them, leaving a ton of wasted vertical space.  Adding more shelves totally maximized the storage space! 



I had one more spot over the towel hooks that needed some art, and my artist friend from Instagram Jenny Westenhofer sent me the loveliest print from her shop!  How perfect are these colors for my color palette in the bathroom (or anywhere in my house for that matter? ha!) 


 I love the modern design mixed in to the room, this one is titled "Bluegrass."   


Nothing is different on the inside of the shower but here's a reminder of how that turned out-


Also as a reminder, this cabinet is totally new.  It used to be a cut out nook with a built in hamper at the bottom, totally wasted space!  


We considered enlarging the shower, but I'm not interested in having a bigger shower to clean so we added more shelf storage in that space.  I finally got it all organized with my shoes and it's wonderful!!  I'm loving the extra space that I've gained in my closet by moving the shoes out as well.  


I stacked my shoes on the shelves that are within easy reach without climbing or bending down, and for the high and low shelves I found some baskets that perfectly fit the space to store out of season or less frequently worn shoes.  The baskets act like a pull out drawer (I added some stick on felt pads to the bottom to make them easier to slide without damaging the paint) and make accessibility to the back of the cabinet easier for those hard to reach shelves.  I made some simple tie on labels to help me remember what was where! 


One basket holds tons of flat sandals and flip flops, maximizing shelf space once again.



Moving around to my vanity, you can see the new towel bar and artwork again on this side.  



I usually have my iPad on the counter to watch something while I'm getting ready.  I've had this brass easel for years and have used it for a plate rack and cookbook stand, but my friend Monica reminded me that it's a great tablet stand too (she has really helpful tips in her Instagram stories)!  Much prettier than what I had before!  



I used some scraps of wallpaper to line the back of the medicine cabinet and the drawers-


and after years of using random plastic containers I bought some prettier clear boxes to fit my drawer.


Also since the last reveal I painted the insides of the older cabinets with a fresh coat.  Having the extra shelf space in the linen cabinet and doing a good purge allowed me lots of room under the sink.  I installed this pull out drawer basket and it's the best thing ever!  I also used them in the kids' bath and have since put one under the kitchen sink too.  It keeps everything right at my finger tips- no digging in the back of the cabinet- and the tall sides keep larger items from falling over.  


So there you have it!  I'm really happy with all of the choices we made for this room and proud of all of the hard work that went into it, even though it wasn't the speediest makeover!  It is so nice to have a clean, updated space (remember those befores- yikes!  See lots of side by side before an afters in the original reveal post) after putting in countless hours of hard work!
