First Floor Bathroom Renovation (One Room Challenge)

We are finally on the home stretch in this bathroom!

Little refresher on what the space looked like when we moved in…

We painted the walls, trim and resurfaced the tub to give it a temporary update. We also put in D - and ultimately decided to keep these until we can refinish the closet (which has a large water heater in it).

AFTER! So many fun changes….

We installed the most beautiful light fixture by Schoolhouse. (Swoon!) I love all of Schoolhouses’ products and felt like it would such a fun add.

I did decide to keep the original light fixture. I was really torn on this - but I felt like we could update it later if I found something else.

I decided to mix in some metals because I had a lot of gold happening and didn’t want the space to feel stale.

The Pfiser Tisbury faucet is stunning and I love the Polished Nickel. The faucet adds a different element classic element and the Pfiser products are so well made. (Linked this one here!)

I knew I wanted to use something like the this Hygge & West wallpaper to the room. Adding a complementary wallpaper to an older colorful tile is my favorite way to refresh a bathroom. We colored match the green in the wallpaper, but didn’t love the hue it pulled with the tile. I ended up going with Benjamin Moore Millstone Gray after seeing this inspiration online.

We added hand towels & a shower curtain by Olive & Linen. I had never used Olive & Linen’s shower curtains before and love the feel. It is soft and well made, like their towels.

I loved the original cabinet and painted it Behr Jet Black in semigloss to make it pop. I kept the original hardware and did a coat of rub and buff. I actually did rub and buff on the mirror and parts of the original light fixture to dull the bright brass color on the light fixture.

The countertops are quartz installed by Artisans of Stone in Salem, VA - we really liked them and their competitive pricing.

Thank you for following along with our One Room Challenge progress!

First Floor Bathroom Update: ORC Week 3 & 4

Blogging is one of those things I would love to do, but easily gets bumped from my to do list. So here is a week 3 & 4 update.

Week Three of the One Room Challenge, I debated about colors for the trim. This is one reason I can’t recommend a local paint company enough. I love our local Benjamin Moore and Cathy is so helpful in seeing my vision and helping me find a color.

First she color matched the green from the leaf of the wallpaper, but we decided the tone did not compliment the tile well.

I found some inspiration from Pinterest and decided to try Benjamin Moore Millstone Gray, which I never guessed would read so green.

Then this past week we dove into wallpapering with this incredible pattern by Hygge & West and Schoolhouse.

This is a traditional wallpaper that requires paste and although it was intimidating to start, I found it easy to adjust to. This method is a little easier to adjust the paper.

And this is how we are finishing the week.

Countertops go in this week. Lights start to get installed. Moulding on the ceiling and trim on the ground. We are actually rounding the corner on this project pretty quickly because we plan to leave the floors as is for now.
