Michele's Surprise Remodel - the Bathroom

Remember this is the bathroom that was part of the unplanned surprise remodel. It was the pink and turquoise from the 50's. Michele chose to update with a timeless style using the neutral, crisp colors of carrera marble, white beadboard, toile wallpaper and white subway tile in the shower. This is the finished space, just lovely!

The bathroom is not large but shortening the wall between the toilet and vanity really makes it feel larger. There was also an old turquoise wall heater above the toilet that we capped and removed. This provided space for the wall cabinet and more storage.

The original corner cabinet stayed, but we changed the style of the doors, added shelves to the bottom section, removed the hamper section, and added feet to match the vanity. The floor is a honed marble that we cut into 9" x 18" rectangles and laid in a staggered joint pattern, it works wonderfully with the carrera marble counter (which was a remnant by the way):

So even though Michele did not plan to lose her bathroom for 6 weeks, she says it was more than worth it to get one that suits her taste. She loves it!
