It’s about time, right? This reno has been 90% complete since, oh, Thanksgiving or so… but I finally finished that last 10% yesterday and now it’s ready for the world to see!
As always, I’ll start with the befores.
This bathroom was a real piece of work, let me tell you.
It’s split into two small rooms: the shower/toilet area, and the vanity/sink area.
 |
| Excuse the mess, we had just moved in here |
It had the same white washed oak cabinets and beige formica countertops as the kitchen, and the old guest bath… they must have gotten a group discount.
And oh, the almond tile again… why???
Gotta have the matching almond toilet. Oh, same crusty white tile as the old kitchen.
But they opted for carpet in the vanity/sink room.
Make a note of that medicine cabinet for the ‘after’ pictures.
The view from the closet.
Back in November we decided to get this project started, and I put together a mood board (are they still calling it that?):
The look I was going for was coastal-modern-rustic-spa.
Once that was settled, we began ripping it out and putting it back together the right way:
I’ll just skip through all the in between phases and get to the good stuff… I present to you, our completed master bathroom!
These lights are my favorite thing ever.
We converted the medicine cabinet to a recessed box. I built a shelf out of scrap wood and found these perfectly fitting vases (at Michael’s) to store our bathroom essentials.
I slipped a couple flat seagrass baskets (also found at Michael’s) underneath the floating vanity, and Brad installed LED lighting underneath.
I built this textured wood piece from lumber scraps. It’s stained to match the mirror frames and recessed box shelf.
Moving onto the shower room….
To save money, we simply reglazed the tile from almond to a bright white for around $600 (it was $1200 to do both this room and the guest bath).
We found this clean and modern ORB shower set on Ebay for around $130.
Ahh… love me some long rain showers.
I found this shower bench at Macy’s for $90. It was a perfect fit.
We swapped out the old beige toilet for a white dual flush version:
Then I installed a couple floating shelves (Lowe’s) and topped them with more seagrass baskets (Walmart)
No renovation would be complete without Brad’s in ceiling speakers and recessed LED dimmable lighting. There’s one speaker in each room. And the crown molding was the final touch.
And there you have it.
I actually tried to keep a list this time to calculate our costs. Some of these are accurate to the cent, some are approximate… and I’m sure I’ve left some things off. Here goes…
Tile: $927.32 From a local retailer called the Floor Club. Floor tile: Bambu “Grigio”, Glass/Marble accent tile: Eclipse “Eternity”
Tile installation: $477
Shower tile reglazing: $600
Vanity/Sinks/Mirrors (without frame): $910 Ebay
Vanity Lights/Bulbs: $152 agtstores.com
Toilet/plumbing: $239
Ceiling & accent lighting: $169
Speakers: $50
Drywall: $145
Paint: $34 Behr’s Reflecting Pool
Sink Faucet/Drains: $153.61
Shelves: $53.42 Lowe;s
ORB accessories: $51.29 Ebay
Drawer pulls: $30 Ebay
White square vases: $15 Michaels
Baskets: $30 Michaels
Towels: $10
Wood shelf divider: $10
Shower bench: $90 Macy’s
Shower fixtures: $130 Ebay (no longer listed)
Wood art: $30
Crown Molding: $40
Total: $4436-ish… so even with the rough estimates and probability that I’m missing some things, I think it’s still safe to say that this is another under 5k reno. Woohoo! I’m actually surprised the number came in so low… probably because this project has just been dragging on for-ever.
Be back tomorrow to announce the hand stamped necklace winner!

This is very nice. Our bathroom is set up exactly like yours – toilettub in one room, vanity sandwiched between two walls. My question is how wide is your vanity? We would like double sinks, but we think our space might be too tight. Thanks and good job!!
Carra says
My bathroom has pretty much the same setup. How wide is your shower? I am looking to take down the glass doors and nasty bath fitter type of shower stall and doing something like what you have done but I think my stall may not be as wide as yours. My toilet is next to the shower on the back wall where the shower head/faucet are so it is not the exact set up as yours.
What you did is beautiful.
Thanks!!
flooring Honolulu says
No way! You actually did this? It looks fantastic. I have never thought that one can DIY stuffs like this. This really looks like a professional’s work. I really love the transformation. It looks so fresh and clean. Thank you for sharing this post. This is such an inspiration.

Jenna Sue says
Thank you! We did everything except the tile installation and drywall patching behind the vanity and for the medicine cabinet. There's a line item for tile install ($477) and drywall ($145).
LiveLaughDecorate says
Amazing stuff Miss Jenna Sue. Love everything about the makeover but especially love the tiles selected and the repurposing of the medicine cabinet – aren't those things wretched? But you made it into an amazing space. You guys did all the labor? I didn't see any labor mentioned in the break down – except for the reglazing, which was an amazing option! Good stuff all around
Jenna Sue says
If your vanity wall is sandwiched between two walls like mine and the vanity is wider than you're probably going to have to keep looking! We purchased the faucets separately on Amazon (scroll up and you'll see a picture with an link to it on the right sidebar). The glass tile is the first item in my breakdown at the end of the post. Good luck!
Anne Marsden says
My decorator found your blog – your bath is almost EXACTLY perfect for my master redo for a 1940's bungalow in ATL, Thanks so much for sharing! I've found the vanity at Overstock for $1100 but one problem….it is 1.1inches wider than my space! Trying to figure that out. Also – did you find it with the oiled bronze handles or did you switch them out? The one on Overstock has chrome handles and does not include the faucets. Dan you also tell us the make/store for your faucets and on the glass tiles?
Thanks again – awesome job and I'm getting so excited for my bath!

Emily {Mrs. B's Hive} says
I love everything about this bathroom! I can't believe you did it for under 5K! I can't decide what my favorite element is, I just love everything about this space. It's all so gorgeous and cohesive, and I love the freshness of it. You did a fantastic job!
Anges Attic says
Love the lights, I have the exact one on the outside of my house. They are charming. I put the smallest size in my mudroom I loved them so much.
