Today is gonna be all about bathrooms- the ins and outs of determining whether you need a full reno or just some cosmetic updates, as well as what I’ve been dreaming about for our two bathrooms! I’ve never tackled a bathroom remodel before- so when I started thinking about the design process and all of the elements- it became a little daunting. So here’s how I planned the bathroom- I took my laptop into the room, a measuring tape and I sat on the floor and went through Kohler’s website. And I crave a little more drama in a bathroom, so I started the hunt for some black and white tiles that would pay homage to the Spanish style of the home but also give the modern clean fixtures I’d picked something to stand out against!
It gives me chill bumps to see it- I know that the day we manage to transform this bathroom will be a VERY exciting one!! The third quirky thing I realized is that there are two doors to get into the bathroom- one at the end of the extremely long hallway, and one from our bedroom.
So with these quirks in mind I once again sat on the bathroom floor with my measuring tape, the inspiration board above, the Kohler website and started playing around with ideas. This will allow us to install a big, bright window where the two tiny ones are that are currently hidden behind a shower curtain. Since we’re already pretty much going to have to gut the bathroom, it gives me the perfect excuse to replace the ALL of the tiles with something that’s a more modern interpretation of Spanish.
Below you’ll see the moodboard I created with all of the items I’d pull together to make this our dream bathroom. I love that like the other bathroom it’s modern, but honors the Spanish style of the house with the tile. {SOURCES: tub, bath & faucet trim, spout and handle, black/white tile, subway tile, mirror, sink faucets, vanity, drawer pulls, sinks, towel bars, toilet, toilet tissue holder, hanging planters}
OK, so I’m a bathroom reno newbie- I still have yet to actually dip my toes into the part I imagine to be the most challenging (contractors!) Honestly, I think that if I had to source everything from a half dozen stores I might go bonkers trying to pick out pieces!
I hope this helps you all with any upcoming projects you have (we have a kitchen on the horizon which is full-on: walls to be knocked down and complete rearrangement of just about every single inch- and I’m thinking I’ll start the design process just about the same way I did with these- a mood board and then tackling it one step at a time!)
