Bathroom Facelift

Last winter, we decided to finally take the plunge and redo our master bathroom. Even though our house is only 10 years old, the bathrooms were very outdated and poorly installed. The tile floors were chipping, our shower was unevenly installed, and the master bathtub was yellowing. Since the kids bathroom also needed a facelift, we decided to do them both at the same time, and the results are amazing!  We started designing and shopping back in February, and we started removing some of the old bathroom materials in May. It seemed like it took forever, but it actually only took 4 months. Then, it took me another 3 to actually do a post about it :)

So, without further ado, let's take a look at what the kids bathroom looked like before the facelift. The wall colors are my doing (I wanted them to be bright and fun because the room is a bit on the small side and has no windows). The cabinet and counter color though, that came with the house.

And the finished kid's bathroom looks much more modern and brighter. It's amazing what some new finishes can to to make a space look so much more welcoming.

Now, for the master bathroom transformation. There are quite a few pictures because of the size of the room, but I promise,  you won't believe it's the same room! Before the facelift, I tried to work with the color of the floors and cabinets, going with a beach theme. I still like the old wall color, but with everything else, it just looked so dated. And, if you look closely, you can see where the grout has chipped out of the floor tiles.

And now, for the greatest transformation of them all. Our beautiful, updated master bathroom!  It's amazing just how big of a difference it is. Even with the same layout, having the updated color scheme, hardware, and tile make such a huge difference.

It took a lot of time and energy, because we did a good chunk of the work ourselves, but I am so happy with the finished outcome. However, I have no desire to embark on another home improvement project for a very long time.
