Master Bathroom Remodel: the Final Reveal! posted by Lori Lange I’m excited to share with you the final reveal for my Master Bathroom remodeling project! Master Bathroom Remodel - the Final Reveal" width="602" height="900" /> As you may recall from my previous posts:   Master Bathroom Remodel (beginning) and Master Bathroom Remodel (Progress), this was a major project.  The entire bathroom was torn out and re-done with all new everything.  It took 6 months from start to finish!  Here’s an extensive peek at what the end result looks like… Left-view entrance… and the closet: We were very excited to get rid of the gold- rimmed sliding door for the closet and replace it with a barn- wood sliding door .  Our designer located some barn wood locally and we had our contractor build the door.  It’s one of our favorite parts of the new bathroom!

When designing a bathroom, the key is to look beyond this space. Does the style blend with the rest of your house? Now, keep in mind, you don’t have to be matchy-matchy and blending doesn’t have to be boring. But if your door knobs and hardware throughout the home are oil-rubbed bronze and you choose nickel for a hall bathroom, the change in finish could be distracting to the eye. Same goes for color scheme, except for the powder room, where drama reigns.

Unless you plan on renovating the bedroom and changing the colors there, you want an adjacent bathroom design to go with the flow. “If the bathroom is part of a master bedroom, it needs to tie in with color or texture—something,” says Eileen Kollias, designer/owner, Eileen Kollias Design , Boston, Mass. “If the bathroom is in the hallway a...

Today's master bath offers an escape into an oasis of soothing serenity. With less focus on utility and more on creating ambience, the master bath has been elevated to one of the most important rooms in the home. More furniture-style cabinetry and vanities, beautiful framed mirrors and decorative vessel sinks make this once sterile space feel like a luxurious living space in your home. Homeowners express their personalities here with art work, open shelving displaying favorite pieces or a tile choice that says "this is my style and who I am." And they might bring in more home decor items , small furniture pieces and an extra dose of luxury with a lavish chandelier. Here are some of the hottest trends for the master bath in today's new homes being built in the Chicago suburbs. Statement mirrors So long to medicine cabinets and hello to statement mirrors. Think large clear glass mirrors that make the room look larger -- wood fr...
