It was rather less than a yr in the past that I shared the inspiration and plans for our lavatory renovation mission. We accomplished the majority of the work this fall and winter, and I’m thrilled to lastly share the completed house. Whereas this was not our first time changing a storage right into a bed room and loo, this house was smaller and the structure a bit completely different than the final.
Our imaginative and prescient for this house was Scandinavian impressed, trendy, heat, and comfortable, with influences from New England too. In the end, the completed mission is by some means higher than I ever imagined, and it makes me joyful each time I stroll into the room. Right here’s all the main points in regards to the mission.
Scandinavian Impressed Toilet Renovation Venture
This house was in-built our current storage. We transformed our hooked up storage right into a bed room and loo. The overall sq. footage was roughly 430 sq. toes with the lavatory taking on about 64 sq. toes (see the plans right here). It won’t sound like quite a lot of room however we managed to suit every little thing we wished into the house.
Scandinavian Impressed Tile Ground
Tile was one of many first issues we selected for the lavatory design because it knowledgeable quite a lot of the opposite finishes. We had been thrilled to work with Fireclay Tile after utilizing them in our earlier lavatory renovation. Along with the truth that they make unbelievable high quality merchandise, we love Fireclay Tile as a result of it’s made within the USA, is a licensed B Corp, worker owned, and local weather impartial licensed. It’s an incredible firm!
Whereas we initially leaned in direction of one thing within the inexperienced or blue household, we ended up touchdown on a beautiful impartial referred to as Sand Dune. We liked the heat and the way the colour modified all through the day with the sunshine in our lavatory. Whereas the impartial coloration evoked that Scandinavian design really feel, it additionally reminded us of the sandy seashores in Rhode Island, and that felt like a particular nod to the place we referred to as residence for therefore lengthy.
The tile has a shiny end and the colour relying on the sunshine and time of day varies from a sandy beige to a refined pinky hue. We selected the three×9 tile measurement with a straight lay sample. The tile additionally has a smooth really feel underfoot which makes it very soothing to face on. We used a grout coloration referred to as Bone which has a sandy off-white look to it. Actually, it’s my favourite aspect of the lavatory.
Scandinavian Impressed Trendy Toilet Self-importance
The lavatory self-importance was one of many hardest issues to search out and took a very long time to land on one thing we appreciated and felt match the house. As soon as we lastly found the Ronson Trendy Toilet Self-importance from All Trendy we ordered it and crossed our fingers. When it confirmed up we had been so happy with the look and high quality. The slat element on the doorways had been one in all our favourite design parts.
The center drawers are deep and spacious, it options double sinks with two massive cupboards beneath, and the countertop is a modern white engineered marble. It labored with our funds and appears as good as a few of the vanities that had been double the value. The self-importance additionally got here with the bronze drawer pulls which matched the finishes we used for the taps and bathe.
For sink taps we selected Delta Tetra in champagne bronze. I notably just like the decrease profile with a 6.5 inch faucet peak. The end on the sink, drawer pulls and medication cupboard aren’t all precisely the identical however they’re shut sufficient that you just actually don’t discover the distinction.
Drugs Cupboards
To maximise house we wished to have medication cupboards with storage. It was a bit tough to search out the precise measurement as a result of they needed to be slender however considerably tall. We discovered these Seamless Drugs Cupboards from West Elm in an vintage brass end. Fortunately I managed to purchase them once they had been on sale so the value was pretty affordable. They shipped actually shortly and set up was fairly easy. The within is fairly spacious with a number of cabinets for storage.
The Minimalist Bathe
We determined to do a plaster bathe once more (and by we I imply Craig). We did this final time and love the look of a plaster bathe. Craig did just a few issues in a different way this time round and we are going to share extra about that in an upcoming e-newsletter (subscribe right here for those who’re not signed up).
There have been two issues I actually wished in my bathe, a window, and a cubby, and I’m joyful to report I obtained each. We planted a maple tree exterior of our lavatory window, so I’m very excited to look at the leaves change within the fall. Craig additionally managed to construct a small cubby within the wall and it’s the right measurement.
The bathe head is the Delta HydroRain in champagne bronze and the wall mount deal with is the Tetra type additionally in champagne bronze. In the end we determined to go together with Delta as a result of we’ve used them earlier than and wished continuity with the bronze end.
The bathe door is a mounted glass frameless panel and the bathe pan is a Kohler bathe base.
Lighting and Extra Particulars
Lighting was the only hardest factor to nail down on this lavatory. We checked out so many alternative fixtures and didn’t like something. We ended up sending again two separate types that simply didn’t work within the house, and we lastly landed on two easy fixtures that had been $50 every! They had been on sale, and sadly solely obtainable in black now, however I’ve linked to them so you possibly can see the type (they’re measurement small).
The partitions and the ceiling within the lavatory are additionally plaster. I used to be nervous about doing a plaster ceiling however Craig most well-liked that to portray and it got here out actually lovely. Plaster has a beautiful texture that’s refined and exhausting to seize in photographs, but it surely’s beautiful in particular person.
For heating within the lavatory we put in an electrical runtal baseboard heater which we additionally used after we constructed our dwelling/eating room addition. They’re pricier than a regular electrical baseboard however they give the impression of being superb, give off extremely environment friendly warmth, and are very low profile.
We managed to suit further storage within the lavatory utilizing an IKEA Pax wardrobe. We’ve used them so many occasions all through our home and they don’t disappoint. Set up generally is a bit cumbersome but it surely’s a fraction of the price of something customized. They give the impression of being nice and supply a ton of further room to retailer issues like towels and different lavatory wants.
