I found this black sliding shower door one at Home Depot for HALF the price and it was actually MUCH easier to install. We put one in our downstairs bathroom in the fall and it instantly changed the look of that whole space. I have found a love for black frameless shower doors. I added this brass faucet and rounded corner mirror to complete the look. ![]() It includes the vanity, sink and countertop for a really reasonable price. I shared the vanity area back in the fall and not much as changed! I found this vanity combo that I absolutely love. So lesson learned, don’t use too much mortar :) Wood Vanity Design I had to use a heat gun to warm up the resin and then scrap it off. Normally you can scrape excess mortar off pretty easily, but resin based you can’t. I apparently did a little too much mortar and didn’t clean it off the tiles in time, so it was very very hard to get it off. Which is MUCH stronger than a normal mortar. Also, when tiling over a shower pan, you have to use a resin based mortar. I really love the spa like look, but mixing a light and dark colored grout in the shower proved to be difficult. It makes your lines look so awesome and it adds a design element.įor the shower floor I used a black pebble mosaic tile. This was my first time using it and it is a game changer. With so much tile in this space and a lot of edges, I used a black schluter edging to keep the edges clean and more modern. So happy I did this! I would definitely do this again. I carried the tile over to the vanity area and did a 45″ tile wall. Some of you mentioned you need to seal textured tile BEFORE you grout it, so I will keep that in mind if I ever decide to use it again. In fact I think we spent a total of 8 hours scrubbing it. I learned the hard way that textured tile is extremely hard to get clean after you grout. Which tile did I use? I picked out this textured white subway tile that was a decent price point. I really love how the whole pattern turned out! I only makes me want to play around with tile design even more! I grabbed some inspiration from this kitchen and decided to use an alternating pattern of vertical and horizontal tiles. I love a traditional subway tile, but I also wanted to give this bathroom a more modern look. Bringing the tile up to the ceiling makes the room feel taller and also adds an element of luxury or drama to the space. Going into this design, I knew I wanted a floor to ceiling tile shower with a bench. Things get worse before they get better, right? My father-in-law helped me with the demo! He has done his share of bathroom renovations so it was nice to have him along for the ride! He helped me a ton with all the prep work and getting things back together. That was a great temporary solution but it’s finally time to do a full overhaul on it. A few years after we moved in, I gave it a facelift with this black and white modern farmhouse look. It is a very basic builder grade bathroom that I was dying to personalize and take up a notch. Here is what this bathroom looked like when we first moved in. I could definitely do it, but I think I might hire out showers from now on :) Bathroom before Would I tackle a full bathroom again? Maybe. I mean, it’s great to have ‘no fear’ when it comes to DIY sometimes, but sometimes you need to have realistic expectations as well!Īre there things I would have done differently? Absolutely. ![]() I had never done a full gut job on a bathroom before, and let’s just say it was A LOT more time consuming and complicated than I expected. Stylish Black and White Bathroom Renovationĭesigning and executing this bathroom was truly a learning experience. I demoed, tiled, installed everything and I honestly can’t believe it. Alright, so let’s check out this stylish black and white bathroom renovation and all it’s glory.Įven though this was a big learning experience, I look back at this bathroom and I can officially say, I did this. However, despite the long and hard road to get here. Delays, road blocks, frustration, fear, and just a lot of excuses. Well, this might be the longest lasting project to date! I officially broke ground on this bathroom renovation ONE YEAR AGO, and it’s finally time to wrap this up! It’s been a slow journey to say the least. ![]()
