It’s been a while since I have posted, and first up on the blog is a much awaited master bathroom post. When we first built our home I had so many questions about the house and I’m hoping to answer all those questions in posts that I have planned over the next few months. I’ve been a little MIA this past year as I went back to teaching, I have decided to stay home with the boys and focus again on them and my blog. Excited for what is to come this next year.
From start to finish our home took about 2.5 years. Two and a half years of planning out every detail, hiring contractors, ironing out kinks, and lots of figuring out what we wanted. I joke that I got pregnant, went through the pregnancy and had a one year old by time we moved in. However, having that time allowed us to build the perfect home that met our needs.
A lot of times in recent remodels you see people removing their big garden tubs out of their bathrooms. A tub was a huge must have for me–I love taking baths and splurging on bath bombs from Lush. Plus, having young kiddos I would totally miss the bath tub–seeing as they use it way more than I do.
Another must have was his and her sinks. I’m sure its possible to share a sink with your husband–but I’m not one to put my stuff away and I leave it on the counter. That may drive him a little insane. I’m pretty sure he was the one who requested the separate sinks.
I also love the vanity area. the middle drawer is where I store all my makeup. I actually had to put locks on the drawers because when Carson was younger he would get into it and rub it all over his body. Yes, body–not face. I found this chair on the swap page and planned on painting and recovering it. Here it sits a year and a half later still looking the same.
We decided on a small linen closet for our bathroom as our closet at our old house took up so much space. I love this closet, and love that we didn’t take up precious bathroom space for something bigger. (Our master closet makes up for it.)
We went with the wood-look tile in the bathrooms throughout the house, and brushed nickel fixtures. Although I am loving the gold look, I know in a few years it will go out of style and I couldn’t see myself replacing everything. I feel as if the fixtures we selected were timeless. We also went with the same cabinet and countertops that we have in our kitchen.
