Master Bath Re-do

Oh I am so excited to show you what we've been working on recently. We found a vanity that we LOVED at one of our favorite shops around town - Nadeau. We were looking for a furniture-looking vanity and knew we wanted a marble top... then we saw this beauty that had it all wrapped up into one.

They had only gotten 2 of these in the store and one of the marble tops had broken, so we knew we had to decide fast if we wanted the 'good one' or not. We went home that night to measure the space and left a voice mail after hours saying "we'll take it!". That night I picked out and ordered a pretty little sink to go on top, a slick new faucet and a new light fixture. And the very next day we went to pick up our new vanity, and that is how the master bath re-do got underway. That next weekend we made our way to Lowes to pick up the supplies to cover the tile on the walls with beadboard and of course wood for the chair rail, corners, etc. We grabbed some primer and white tile paint and got started!

But first let me remind you of the very blue...

Only slightly better, this is how we've been living with it...
BEFORE

The process of putting up beadboard over tile was not as easy as we imagined, and it took much longer than we expected since we obviously couldn't nail into the tile. So one week and 10 tubes of Liquid Nails later...

And I am so proud (as usual) of my hubby and his awesome house renovating skills. He is a miracle worker! He did everything (well I helped a little, but probably was just more in the way) in this bathroom and the only thing we had to pay someone to do is cut the holes in the marble top for the drain and faucet - AWESOME!


One more time...

AFTER

We still have some tweaking to do, i.e. raise and center the light fixture, touch up the paint here and there, re-silicone the shower perimeter, and paint the shower tile solid white (we're digging the blue floor after our transformation so that will stay!). We are LOVING our new master bath!
