Build Bath & Shower

Last week I unveiled my master bedroom makeover to you guys.

After Before The Original Floorplan Last June, Jeremy and I started the process of remodeling the second floor of our home. There were lots of things that bothered me about the original layout, and you can probably discern a lot of them from the “before” pictures, more of which you can see in West Elm’s post here. Originally, the second floor had a master bedroom , tiny master bathroom , and a weird tiny bedroom that could only fit a twin size bed and had a weird area where the eaves of the roof slanted down to the ground making it almost impossible to keep anything there. The master bathroom consisted of a small crappy plastic tube -shaped shower, a vanity, and the toilet. The shower was the bane of my existence, because the way it was built and assembled left all these little gaps in the plastic pieces  in it that were impossible to get to with cleaning brush, so mold would just grow between the cracks, and the rubber lining along the shower door where the plastic sheets touched k...

Master Bathroom Makeover on { lilluna.com } Great tips and ideas to help inspire your own creativity!!" width="703" height="1055" /> I’m SO excited to share with you guys the Master Bathroom Makeover we worked on this weekend. It’s actually been a project we have slooooowly been working since we moved in the house, but one we just finished on Saturday. Ever since we moved in, we’ve been going through each room and making it our own. I knew we’d get to the Master at some point (the Master bedroom still needs tons of work), but I’m happy to say that we at least have the Master Bathroom completed . I don’t have a picture of it from when we first moved in, but within the first year we at least painted the cabinets and add brushed nickel hardware . Since then we have done much more, and now I’m in LOVE with the Master Bathroom . Even the kids, who take baths in there, thought it looked so “pretty”. 😉 I agree!! Here’s the BEFORE shot we captured a few weeks ago...

So. Last time we talked about my master bathroom, I was feeling just a teensy bit emotional . We had just gotten new tile installed, which I expected to love. But it felt like a total FAIL to me because I hadn’t realized that the black grout we chose would line the edges of the room. And that it would look an awful lot like black mold… Here’s a snapshot I took of it at the time from the bedroom, and you can see it didn’t look too bad from a safe distance: But if you looked more closely, you could see that in the process of laying the tile, the black grout had stained the woodwork pretty badly and left a nasty black edge around everything: I got lots of great advice from you guys about what to do about it. Most of you suggested that all we needed to do was install quarter-round along the baseboards to cover it up. We got some trim that was a little smaller size than that for $20 bucks, and it only took a couple of hours for us to put it down. It turned out to be an easy and effective ...
