I feel a little oatshit of this remodel because I know a lot of you will love more before. And, if I’m honest, there’s a lot about his previous form, I really loved! But sometimes the change is forced.
I’m sure many of you will remember This cosmetic refresh I took the main bathroom of my parents in 2018 years …
It was a really popular makeover and a project I found a super reward.
At that time there was a little creative experiment and replaced as something short-term repair – while the room had some impractices about the schedules and problems of “age”, which would eventually need to solve – although it is still still strong! The fact is that today it would be unchanged, that it was not for unforeseen issues that eventually resulted in this …
One day my father walked when he heard weak, he came from the direction of the bath. It turns out that one of the old pipes were broke and slowly died into a wall cavity! After a lot of testing and some professional opinions, it became obvious that the only way to access that it stretched out the entire bath! This is obvious, it has its own knocks!
Although the timing was not perfect, my parents decided that the catalyst that needed to cover their 50-year-old bathroom properly.
First it was determined was a new look.
Having vanity below the window was never ideal, plus my parents wanted to introduce the restroom (which makes sense because this bathroom is in the bathroom and closest toilet and closest toilet on the second level).
The position of the door, windows and walls cannot be changed, so I played around with several different layout ideas. These are just some of the options …

Concept 1 – Selected design (above)

Concept 3 (above)
Concept 4 (above)
Concept 5 (above)
My initial thought was to “hide” the toilet in Rubš, although it left limited options for showering, mainly due to the window. And although it is difficult to say only from schedule plans, the room width makes circulating trails too squeezing when the main elements are set opposite each other.
After measuring the practicality, costs and aesthetics, the selected design came out to the top.
While the area next door looks like a prominent position for the toilet, reality is looking forward to the correctness and bath, so it’s actually far from the first thing you see you come in.
The next step was thinking about style and eventually decided about elections.
Unlike the past iteration of this room, which is shown in color and sample, I knew my mom wanted to stick to simple neutral. It is a conservative decorator that appreciates longevity in design. It was really just a temporary nature of previous cosmetic refresh, evaporated with my “gentle” encouragement, who harmonized the courage to some extent.
In line with the overall sense of my parent house, a light and airy scheme with the balance of classical and contemporary was the way.
We have selected hot white, earthy materials, mixed metals and timeless elements for sharp and welcome vibration …
Although nothing we chose was super expensive, Tapwar and vanity were the objects that my parents were willing to spend a little more further. This is balanced with affordable products elsewhere. Plus the use of the wall panel at the site of the floor to the ceiling tile, which is much cheaper alternative. So until I would call him a super budget Savva Reno, it could easily have costs.
And here’s how everything happened …
I really wanted to undo the vintage wardrobe for vanity and while it would save us the money, my parents were not a random on the idea. I finished the design of a customized piece that still looks like a tree, that anyone keeps selling the kidney, it’s actually a wrapped vinyl.
We succemctive the catchment and extended stone against the wall to create a small background of the plates for a custom target.
The temple shower screen would be beautiful, but it was at a price in double from the half screen. The only possible frame options were chrome and black, so Mom decided black and we tied that we tied it with towels and toilet carriers, plus soap pump.
Although only subtle references that work to make sense in space.
My parents kept shower tapes easy with a fixed head and mixer.
I know that rails with handpieces are practical and popular at this point, although they do not use this bathroom so they were not fixed.
One thing they they were He arrived that even though he added a niche of shower as it was now at home, so, nothing!
The bathing suit is really stunning and enables the current impact on entry into the room. It is certainly a star in space!
Such connections can easily cost on the basis of $ 1,000, even though we managed to find this one hundred. It’s still not cheap I know, although certainly not overly sumptuous. And how sweet is that little pot “soap” (actually a candle holder) that manually made my lovely sister.
The wall light is super cute! She didn’t come with a white shade, so we just get ready to paint this.
One thing I tried and I failed to convince my parents switching hinges to slider (according to schedule concepts). You can see the door open in the shower in the reflection of the mirror below.
Although the cavity / pocket door slider cannot work (due to water supply and electric in the walls) the Barr’s door was an option. I still don’t understand for the reason, my parents were unwavering because of the door retention as it was. Although not an ideal (in my opinion), one pro and I lively remembered from my teenage years was able to use vanity when someone else was in the shower – the door behaved as the perfect privacy screen! But, still secretly, I hope I will soon get the idea of the door in care.
All works of art are vintage pieces.
One is a savings finding, and two are the originals that belonged to my grandmother and depict the region in which she lived.
Even if it’s just to cut empty space above the toilet, never hurts to use items with meaning when decorating.
As we kept the same imprint, the room now feels spacious! It is mainly due to multiple storeys detection. As touched at the beginning of this post, while I am well acquainted this new imaginary space does not exclude the same level of character or creativity as its ex-self, it must have been the right adjustment forward. I hope you understand.
