The Master Bath "Reno"

The Master Bath Now

I am especially happy with the master bath mini reno, and when I say mini I mean mini. Here it was pictured below when I bought the house. I really liked everything but the countertop/sinks. I love the tile, the glass blocks window, large shower, garden tub, separate toilet room, even blue and white knobs on the vanity.

Before

But the countertop and molded sinks were so "cheesy motel." And check out the lighting fixture in the toilet room. So, with a quartz remnant, the blue and white Chinese porcelain dragon sinks I have posted about, new faucets from Lowe's, and a sale chandelier from Pottery Barn Kids, the master bath is now upscale and updated. The next door neighbor who knows the house well thought the bathroom had been completely redone. The cost for the quartz countertop, vessel sinks, faucets, lighting, and all labor came in well under $2,000. I am delighted with it. I have the master suite I have always wanted.





My gardener is coming over today for some more garden cleanup and then I will be ready to start the fun part - looking for plants on my list and planting. I hope everyone has a fun but safe weekend.

  1. Beautiful! Love that you did all of that so affordably. That gives me inspiration to do a mini makeover on my master bath. I love the knobs. It all looks great. Enjoy your weekend. It's going to be a hot one here in Dallas.

  2. Gorgeous,you have turned the master bath into a spa. I see you are adding blue and white pottery around your garden tub,the perfect touch. I too love the blue and white cabinet hardware. The sinks still make me swoon. Happy life.

  3. I am in the middle of my own mini bath makeover. I admire your choices. I would love to see an “after” photo from the same vantage point as your before photo.

  4. So lovely, and look at ALL that counter space just for yourself! The blue and white pulls are a wonderful detail.

    Try one of the monkeys in the corner of the tub to hold some soap or a nice stack of wash cloths...or sponges.

    Have fun in the garden. It's the best instant gratification work there is and it does wonders for the soul.

    1. I'll experiment with the monkeys - they like to stay together. I had a great day in the garden.

  6. Such an improvement. Your spa bath awaits you.

    Do I spy some interesting tilework at the bottom of the entrance to the shower??

    Enjoy your weekend; forecast for hot and humid days with afternoon storms here in NE Florida.

    1. Yes, there is tile work in both bathrooms and the lanai and antique stained glass transoms in the master bedroom. Lot of detail that I love.

      Florida in the summer!

  7. That is fresh, inviting, and functional. Can't believe the budget-that's awesome. Updating cabinet hardware and lighting makes a big impact. Thanks for sharing.

  8. I'm glad this space makes you happy and that you got results you wanted at an amazing price! I missed yesterday's announcement, but tonight at cocktail time, I'll raise a glass in the south-easternly direction from Kansas, and will salute you and your classy choice for the roach. Enjoy your new life!

  9. That looks amazing! The sinks are swoon worthy!! How sturdy are they? I have visions of my husband wacking the side with a can of shaving cream or klutzy me hitting one with my blow dryer. I am a Vessel Virgin, always had boring ordinary sinks! The “lipstick” on your tray is so fun too.

    1. Thanks. Chinese porcelain is very sturdy. I've even had pieces in the garden for decades. No worries. The lipstick is Kosta Boda - I love it.

  10. amazing, those sinks are ALL THAT! also I thoroughly enjoyed the Sandbagger Post!!! Interesting read, PERFECT moniker for that narcissistic man-child. I've known the type. Especially telling in the description was how they lull you and lure you into a trap before revealing their true selves. Pamela

  11. Absolutely darling!!!! I am doing a navy butlers pantry and would love to know where you purchased the cute navy knobs, if possible? I had my eye on the Mackenzie Childs ones but need 15 --- gulp. Hoping your great find might be easier on the ol pocket book?

    1. This is hysterical, but the bathroom already had all the navy and navy and white striped knobs. Good luck!
