Master Bathroom

master bathroom before and after

Our master bathroom is a room where I wish we could have done more – we had great plans for a big renovation, but it just didn’t make sense financially.

If this was our “forever home”, we would have done a lot more, but as it stands, I’m glad we didn’t sink any big money into this space.

Our plan:

Other projects we did:

When we bought our new house, we knew that we would want to fully re do the master bathroom. However, we are prioritizing the kitchen and downstairs above it.

While we initially planned to fully makeover this space, reassessing what we wanted to do was important.

To really make this space more functional, the layout needs to be re-arranged. Because of where the plumbing is that would mean a full gut job and hiring out a lot of plumbing work.

We didn’t plan on this being our forever home, so it doesn’t seem like a major gut job would get us a return on our investment.

So, in the meantime, we wanted to do a mini-makeover to get the bathroom to a nice usable and more attractive place for the next year.

Here is our Phase 1 plan (Phase 2 being fully gut in 2017/2018!) We don’t want to sink to much cash into things that will be ripped out in a year so we kept that in mind when making this list:

  1. Scrape & paint ceiling
  2. Paint walls
  3. Paint existing vanity, add knobs
  4. Add shelving over the toilet
  5. Remove built in medicine cabinet
  6. Update light fixtures
  7. Add hooks, rods, and organization, replace toilet seat
  8. Update bathroom door
  9. Add rugs and accessories
  10. Update shelving in linen closet
  11. Add a custom closet organization system
