Operation Bathroom Remodel: THE REVEAL!!

Jun 15, 2014 | Bathroom | 47 comments


Well, crazy as it may seem and after months and months (and months and months ad nauseam) of beavering away slowly on this room, the bathroom is finally completed.  Why did it take us so long? Oh there are loads of reasons but I won’t bore you with them. It boils down to mostly just working on it as and when we got the chance and as it’s the only bathroom in the house, throughout the work, we’ve never NOT had a working toilet or shower which will slow things considerably as the bathroom needed to be put back together again at the end of each day of work.

While the really messy stuff was completed last year, the hex tiles definitely was the one job that lasted far longer than it ever should have. C’est la vie, it’s done now and so I’m going to share it with you!

Renovating our bathroom may have taken a whole year but it's FINALLY finished! Come and take a look at the grand reveal of our bathroom remodel.

NO PRESSURE THEN.

But first a reminder of the before… It just goes to show how long ago I took these pictures because you’ll see our cat Senna (RIP gorgeous girl) in the pictures – these were taken in June of last year, yes a whole year ago!!

Before we started work on our bathroom remodel

There is not a single part of this bathroom that hasn’t been replaced or renewed. The entire bathroom was torn to shreds including ripping out that false ceiling and my home was in chaos for a couple months as well.

By the way… could this be the slowest of all makeovers per square foot in the history of all time?  Possibly. Do I get a tiara if so? Because I’d rock that tiara with my β€˜mmHMMβ€˜ girl face on.

During the bathroom remodel process

But finally, we can get to the good stuff… I’m going to talk in more detail about my sources in another post so hang tight for all that but in the meantime, I thought you might just want to look at the pictures…

Welcome to my new bathroom…

We FINALLY finished our bathroom remodel, take a look at the finished eclectic boho glam look.

 

We chose to add hex tiles to our bathroom remodel which adds real interest

The window in the bathtub which was causing us some bother ended up getting a little bit of detail by way of a steel corner bracket painted gold to match the shower rail.  I rather love it.

Around the window sill we used a steel corner bracket painted gold to match the shower rail.

You can see better how it works in the room with the shower curtain pulled back.

I really need to show you how gorgeous this light is in the evening as well…

We added a decorative lampshade perfect for when you want to relax in the bathroom in the evenings

The bathroom has two types of lights – this one for when you just want to relax in the bath or early in the morning when a blaring light is just too much… plus the normal spot lights which operate on two different switches.

We added spot lights as part of our bathroom remodel process

Raising the ceiling in here and tiling right up to the cornicing has made a world of difference to this little room. It’s really hard getting pictures in here but the space doesn’t feel small and cramped, it’s actually quite nice to be in!

We're FINALLY revealing our eclectic boho glam bathroom remodel

Like I said, I will be sharing all my sources in an upcoming post but in the meantime, I hope it was worth the wait and you like what we’ve done in the smallest room in the house :)

Thanks for sticking around and being patient with me as I teased you endlessly with this room’s completion! Now you’ll have to excuse me as I’m off to check out my tiara in the bathroom mirror…

Don’t miss a thing!

    So pretty! Neutral but still glam. I started reading your blog when you started the remodel so I have officially been a follower for a whole year! Yay!

    Aww … Senna girl. I really do read all your posts when they hit my email box, if I hadn&#39;t already seen them on Bloglovin&#39;. But clearly I&#39;m a bit behind in commenting! So excited for you to check this room off your hit list. I know you have so many other projects in the works. I think my favorite parts of the room are the brass mirror and pendant. You did a great job of balancing

  35. Miathewindowcleaner on February 10, 2015 at 1:16 pm

    You’ve done a fantastic job! Your bathroom looks fabulous.I am in love with the gold accents and the lighting. Thanks for sharing!

  36. Kayleigh on March 10, 2016 at 5:40 pm

    Wow what an end result! I am currently researching ideas to tackle my bathroom fiasco that never got finished despite being here now almost three years! I love the picture and the effect from the light in the evening is gorgeous!

  37. Stell on March 20, 2016 at 12:04 pm

    Where did you get the steel corner bracket from and what did you use to paint it gold????

      • Stell on March 20, 2016 at 9:04 pm

        Thanks Kimberly, hoping my local B&Q’s will have some of these to look. I have found some online but so far each time I order something it’s too thick, not the right gold, it has a curve rather than a proper right angle etc…infuriating! P.S. I am so jealous of Waynes spray shop!

        • Kimberly Duran on March 21, 2016 at 7:06 am

          Oh no! Hope these work out for you!

          And yeah, he does come in handy at times ;) Ha! xxx

  38. Ryan on April 20, 2016 at 11:49 am

    That’s a pretty amazing transformation.

    I love that it’s about the size of my bathroom, pretty inspiring and gives me some ideas for what I want to do.

    Thanks, Ryan.

Ad (Press Sample) There are few kitchen products that are considered absolute classics but there is one that I have lusted after for YEARS and that is the utterly iconic @lecreusetuk large casserole pot. 🀩 For nearly a century, Le Creuset has been trusted for its superior performance, lasting quality and iconic design and the enamelled cast iron allows incredible versatility - not only can you use it with just about any heat source (from induction, glass, electric etc), you can also do everything from stir-fry to slow cooking to baking a cake in it and more. So, imagine my delight when Le Creuset got in touch to ask if I'd like to shoot their brand new colourway πŸ‘ PΓͺche πŸ‘ in my kitchen. I mean, there couldn't be a more perfect colour match with that juicy coral shade which if you've followed my account for any length of time, you'll know is one of my all-time favourites (not to mention that beautiful soft gold knob! 😍). The matching petite casserole dish and mugs are the perfect companions but you could easily mix and match this colourway with Le Creuset's other designs (Might I suggest the Sea Salt, a soft blue-green which would be gorgeous with PΓͺche). This new juicy summer shade is currently available exclusively at Le Creuset Official. I'd love to know which colourway is your favourite in the range? #lecreuset #kitchendesign #kitchenstyling #kitchinspo #victorianhome #englishhome

So on a whim I decided to paint the bedroom pink yesterday πŸ˜…πŸ©· This room has been neglected for so long as I've wanted to fully redecorate for about 3 years now but there are always other bigger priorities or a lack of time/energy/money so I keep putting it off πŸ™ƒπŸ™ƒπŸ™ƒ (tell me I'm not the only one) but happily this didn't cost a penny as I used what I already had although it did take me the best part of a day! I went through my paint stash and found that I had extra @coatpaints Percy from when I did the living room early last year -- well I'm not one to let something this good go to waste (honestly this paint is absolutely wonderful to work with and has amazing coverage) and my goodness it's just so pretty in here πŸ₯° I also moved my pink curtains from my office into here and the whole room just glows! I might actually be able to live with the mural a little longer until the room gets the attention it deserves!
