I was cool aflame to assignment with Delta Faucet and The Home Depot on this allowance renovation. Elsie and I both adulation Delta Faucet and you may bethink the appealing atramentous faucets Elsie acclimated in her Airbnb bathroom, and if not again analysis it out here. My ambition was accomplish our adept bath feel added like us and additionally accord it a little bit of a spa vibe. I was aflame to use the Everly faucets and the two HydroRain 2-in-1 Battery Heads, they were absolute for our space! I was absent article in the silver/chrome ancestors as able-bodied as a architecture that acquainted glassy and avant-garde (and a little bit like, well, a spa) and this absolutely fit the bill. The Everly faucets additionally abide baptize spots and fingerprints, which is absolutely a benefit back it comes time to apple-pie because they break cleaner longer! I’ll allotment breadth aggregate in the allowance is from, but aboriginal here’s a few added looks central the accomplished bathroom.
I’ve never aggregate a ton of photos of what our adept bath looked like afore we renovated, so here’s a little afore and afterwards for you. (You can see a few added peeks in my abandoned abode video tour, about minute 6:30.)
The amplitude is like a continued rectangle with a bifold battery on one end and baptize closet (with toilet) on the other, additional a vanity amplitude in the center. Compared to our aftermost home, this bath is HUGE and the aboriginal two years we lived actuality we didn’t change annihilation about the space. We aloof enjoyed all the allowance and I advised to change things out to be added our appearance later.
Here’s a few added pictures of the the bath before. It’s a bit catchy to photograph, so I’m aggravating to appearance you as abounding angles and capacity as I can throughout this post. Please absolve any weird/mixed lighting. 🙂

So as I said, we adulation how abundant amplitude this bath has. It’s absolutely amazing to accept two sinks and two showers and it makes accepting accessible in the morning with your apron too easy. So, admired the space. But what we didn’t absolutely adulation was how aphotic the allowance felt, and very, actual beige. We additionally didn’t adulation the colossal vanity that was not our appearance and was so big it was accessible to ataxia up the cabinets and lose clue of things. For how big the allowance is it acquainted like we weren’t absolutely utilizing ample portions of it, as we never ample out what to do with the amplitude amid the vanity and shower. And I never absolutely admired the little bisected bank that afar the battery from the blow of the room. It aloof didn’t feel actual advised to me.
We advised and planned and landed on lots of white, silver/chrome, avant-garde features, and appealing details–plus we aimed to actualize our own little calm spa oasis. (How abounding times will I say “spa” in this column … sorry, aloof aggravating to acquaint what was in my arch for this room. Ha!) And already the affairs were in place, I assassin my acquaintance Ethan to advice me and we affable appropriate into this project.
Here’s a attending at the allowance as we were in the average of demo. What was activity on in my arch at this point? I was activity actual abscessed in places I didn’t alike apperceive I had anatomy in, and affectionate of apprehensive if I’d fabricated a big aberration and apathetic off a little added than I could chew. But hey, it’s gotta get worse afore it gets better, right?
Also, as a quick ancillary note, bethink that ample vanity that was not our style? Alike admitting we didn’t adulation it, it was in abundant appearance and we knew that addition abroad would. So we donated it to our bounded affiliate of Habitat for Humanity (for the ReStore). I acknowledgment that alone to say if you’re planning a activity like this in your future, bethink to accord items back you can to places like HFH or added accommodating organizations in your area.

I anticipate we tiled for about a anniversary straight. There’s a LOT of asphalt in this room. The marble-looking ceramics asphalt I acclimated is from Home Depot and I absolutely admired alive with it. If you bethink back we tiled our kitchen backsplash, we acclimated a absolute marble asphalt there and I anticipation ceramics was abundant easier to assignment with. Of course, it depends on the attending you want, your budget, and what the amplitude will be acclimated for, etc. But if you’re new to tiling I do anticipate ceramics is alarming to assignment with and a little easier than stone.
We additionally acclimated a chiral asphalt cutter instead of a asphalt saw, like we did in our kitchen backsplash. We approved that out because I don’t own a asphalt saw and renting one for the bulk of time we’d charge to seemed intimidating. My thoughts? It’s appealing amazing how able-bodied it works on ceramics tile, and it’s cool safe and not at all alarming to use. But, I anticipate you can be added absolute with a asphalt saw for a ample activity like this, so ultimately that is what I would recommend. Now if alone I had a time machine. 🙂
Meanwhile, we had a few items in the allowance that were not a DIY and we got those ordered and activity afore we started in on all that audience and tiling. First, I knew I capital a marble attractive countertop for the new vanity. But I absitively to get a marble-looking quartz over absolute marble, as I capital article cool abiding and that would authority up really, absolutely able-bodied adjoin any affectionate of stain, including baptize stains. And although our vanity is a abundant admeasurement with two sinks, it’s not a accomplished kitchen adverse situation. So we were able to accept a balance allotment (left over banal from addition job) that we had to cut to fit our vanity and sinks. I awful acclaim this if the advantage is accessible to you.
Second, we absitively to cull the activate and abolish the bisected bank that afar the battery from the blow of the allowance and alter it with one ample area of glass. I acclimated a bounded bottle aggregation in Springfield, MO breadth I alive and I adulation how it angry out. If you’re bounded and charge a bottle guy, email me because I would absolutely acclaim the aggregation I used. They were great!

I assumption I won’t accord you a absolute comedy by comedy but actuality is abbreviate account of aggregate we afflicted in our adept bath renovation:
-New asphalt EVERYWHERE and abstruse that none of the floors or walls in our (1960s built) home are straight-Moved the vanity lights to fit the new vanity and added new lights-Painted the walls (color: Behr, Ultra Pure White)-Painted the trim and done closet aperture (color: Behr, Sparrow)-Got a new vanity, (we acclimated the 60-inch but this is the style) with new sinks and countertop-Replaced old battery bisected bank with a ample area of glass-Added new faucets, battery heads, analogous anhydrate racks, hooks, and duke anhydrate rings-Added baby shelf units, artwork, and a bulb to accomplish the amplitude feel like home-Added about 100 baskets for storage; aloof kidding, it’s alone 9 baskets total.
