When some floor tiles outside our shower came loose, we knew we had a leaking problem in our master bathroom . We had to do something! Living in the Pacific Northwest, it gets quite cold in the winter months and our master bathroom was always the coldest room in our house. I longed for heated tile floors , so we decided to take this shower leak as an opportunity to re-do our master bath so it worked for us. Here's what our master bathroom looked like before we started: Vanity area before: We put tons of thought into our new bathroom design - I was thinking "glammy spa". We ensured we had every decision made on all fixtures, tile, etc. prior to demo. We had everything we would need for the new bathroom in-hand prior to the job starting to avoid any unnecessary delays in our project. We planned it to every last detail. How does that old saying go? "We make plans, and God laughs." Yeah, that applies here... in spades! The first contractor we hired said the full m...

I’ve mentioned a few times along the way that one day I’d like to update my master bathroom .  Well, that day (and year) has finally arrived!  It was 4 years ago about this time that I started looking at houses and now I’ve been in my house for over 3 years, with lots of updates and renovations along the way.  My master bathroom did not get a complete overhaul, but I merely painted the vanity, got a new toilet, added some pretty touches and called it a day.  It’s been a useful little bathroom, but its little 70’s self could certainly could use an update, so I’ve decided to tackle that this spring. This update will not be done by my dad and I (I just can’t put him through a project of this scope), but I’m hiring the father and son team who built my front porch and added my windows for me last spring.  They do a really great job, are reasonable enough for labor, and I trust them.  So, they are going to help me gut my small 3 x 5′ bathroom and give it new life.  Right now, the bathroom ...

They say that kitchen and bathroom renovations offer the best return on investment when it comes to resale, and designer Leslie Biggley has really put that to the test in her two most recent projects—a pair of Pinterest-worthy bathrooms. Read on for Leslie’s tips for designing two distinct bathrooms, plus her suggestions for where to save and where to splurge in your own renovation. Vanity // Mirrors // Sconces // Basket What were your goals and inspirations when designing your two new bathrooms? When I designed the en suite, I knew that I wanted the soaker tub to be the focal point of the space across the back of the bathroom with an amazing light fixture over the top because I love that look! I also wanted to conceal the toilet in its own space. I had seen them enclosed before and thought it was a great feature to be able to have someone using the washroom while others were using the vanity, tub or shower. We have two daughters, so I think it adds a lot of functionality to the space...

A gallery filled with incredible bathrooms with L- shaped vanities . Tons of styles, from rustic to contemporary and ultra modern. shaped vanities " alt="Bathrooms with L- shaped vanities " width="800" height="550" src="src" /> Welcome to our gallery featuring a collection of gorgeous bathrooms, each featuring an L-shaped vanity. While it’s commonplace for bathrooms to have more than one vanity, some bathrooms just aren’t quite large enough to accommodate two sinks with separate vanities. For these types of bathrooms, or for those with only a free corner, an L-shaped vanity may be the best solution. Whether that extra space is used as a makeup vanity or as a second hand-washing station, an L-shaped vanity is sure to offer more utility than a single vanity. And while it’s a bit of an unusual fixture in most spacious bathroom s, it’s perfect for fitting into tough corners and utilizing space. It’s been said that in smaller bat...
