MASTER BATHROOM RENOVATION: THE NORRIS PROJECT

Wouldn’t you want to get ready every day in a bathroom that has stunning finishes and functions to your needs?  Well, in addition to updating the décor and some of the furnishings in the Entry, Family Room, Formal Dining and Living Room, the Norris’s wanted just that…a new fabulous Master Bathroom!  It is definitely the largest project we tackled in their home and I am so thrilled to share the before and after pictures with you.  You won’t believe your eyes!

Besides the original wall color and travertine tile there were several things about the bathroom that were unappealing to them.  Not only was the commode open to the room but also the vanity was adjacent to it and was an awkward “L” shape.  And with the tile countertops comes grout, which has to be managed and in a space that is used so often this is definitely not ideal. 



They also had a tub and shower combination with a very strange step up where slipping and falling was almost unavoidable.  And who wants to almost break their neck every time they get out of the shower?  It HAD to go!


So all in all they wanted a brand new bathroom…and I could not wait to help give it to them!  Their contractor came up with a new layout that worked well for their lifestyle and I made selections for all of the finishes.  Here it is!


To keep simplicity but add a little detail we used tone on tone horizontal stripes on the walls in a neutral color.  They needed to be pretty light in color to keep it bright and airy.  The Norris’s actually found the floor, which is a tile that has a wood look to it.  So easy when it comes to maintenance!

The shower is one of my favorite things about the room!  It is tiled to the ceiling with Calcutta marble in a herringbone pattern.  And the floor is the same marble in a hexagon pattern. 



There are so many things that are beautiful about the vanity.  The cabinets are painted in a classic white and topped with a neutral travertine countertop.  The polished chrome faucets and square sinks help it to feel up to date but still timeless.    To keep the feel of the room to be as large as possible the mirror needed to span over the entire vanity but the detail in the mirror definitely adds a special touch.  If it were just a plain, solid mirror it would feel rather boring.  And the sconces…they literally take my breath away!  The shape of them keeps it modern and the linen shades add softness to the space.  And the crystal on the lights ties in the cabinet knobs and adds the perfect touch of elegance to the space!  #canyoutellilovethem



Here is the before and after one more time…do you think it’s an improvement?? 





I think it all turned out so beautifully!!  Now if only I could remodel my own bathroom?!?
