A Fresh Face – 1980’s Bathroom Update

 

An Update for an Out-of-Date Bathroom

My client was looking to update his ensuite bathroom with a fresh and neutral palette that would work for him, as well as resale.

The original bathroom had an outdated oak vanity, almond coloured fixtures, LOVELY accent tile with floral accents (wink wink) and dark wood trim.  And while we could have painted the vanity and done a lot of esthetic improvements to modernize this space, my client was ready to start from scratch!

Using large-scale floor tiles, a new vanity and almond coloured subway tile we created a grounded yet refreshing space…

Paint Colour:  Benjamin Moore Navajo White

When you’re going from outdated to UPdated, it’s easy for the before and after photos to look this drastic!

We had the accent tile in the shower installed at the same height as the vanity accent tile, this keeps things simple as it’s a small bathroom.

We chose a large, subway tile style tile for easy cleaning.  The almond colour is a different choice from the standard white subway tile.  It lets the space appear bright and warm, without feeling too contemporary.
We also chose a Maax fibreglass shower base that included 18″ sides, a ledge and a seat.  This was not only more budget-friendly than a tile base, it would also make cleaning time A LOT easier!

So, again, thank you for your comment, they totally warmed my heart, I love it when readers can really ‘see me’ with my writing – because that’s the whole point! Hope all is well in your home world!
