Laurie Anne’s Bathroom Makeover

Yesterday I shared Laurie Anne’s bedroom makeover, and today I’m back with the bathroom reveal! I figured since we were tackling her master bedroom, we might as well call it a “master suite makeover” and address the bath too. We had a little bit of the budget leftover and thought it also deserved some attention, so it worked out perfectly. Click through for the before images, paint swatches, sources, and to see how it looks now.

Like the bedroom makeover, let’s start with a before image…

Ready for the after? We painted the space, swapped out some hardware, plumbing fixtures, and textiles. It looks a lot better and most importantly- it’s cohesive with the new bedroom design.

Just like the master, we stuck with the same color palette, Minimalist, which reflected Laurie Anne’s personality after taking the Sherwin-Williams ColorSnap® Color ID quiz. We ended up using Reflection SW 7661 on the walls, as well as the baseboards (just in a different finish). We also used Snowbound SW 7004.

As a reminder, the bathroom lives behind the sliding door in the master bedroom. The bathroom is on the smaller side, but we tried to pack as much function and design into the space as we could on a budget (in a time crunch).

You know me… one of my pet peeves is a short shower curtain. After painting, it was one of the first things I swapped. I found this gorgeous, extra long hotel waffle weave curtain that better fit the space.

I also added a rug with more personality. Remember when I eluded to buying multiple rugs from this vintage Etsy roundup? Well, this was one of them! I shipped it straight to Phoenix for the makeover. It’s really beautiful in person.

I absolutely love the soft blue wall color. Initially, the space was white and since there is no natural light in the bathroom, it felt kind of dingy and drab. The room was really begging for a little splash of color on the walls!

We also decided to get rid of the shelving around the toilet. Even though it’s a small space and storage seems like a good idea- it was really just collecting decorative “stuff” and I didn’t love the look of it. I gave Laurie Anne and Taylor the option of floating shelves instead, but we decided to keep it minimal and clean with nude art. Again- their art collection is the BEST. Laurie Anne painted the nude back in college. She’s so talented! We ran out of time, but I gave them the idea to add a gallery light or sconce above the art. They might do that down the road. Here is what the toilet wall looked like before…

This is what it looks like now… a lot better! PS- Laurie Anne made all of the ceramics in the bedroom and bathroom- including that pretty bath tray. She is a true artist and it was fun to “shop” her house. She has treasures stashed away everywhere- tucked into closets, cabinets, in boxes in the garage, and anywhere in between.

We also swapped the chrome plumbing fixtures for brass to warm up the shower. They look perfect with the classic white subway tile and soft blue walls! Obviously you guys already know I’m a big fan of this combo.

Also, like my guest bathroom, we bought the simple shower organizers I use and love! They look really nice sitting on the marble ledge at the back of Laurie Anne’s bathtub.

This is the view from the bathroom into the bedroom. I think the two spaces turned out really beautifully and I’m thrilled that Laurie Anne & Taylor are super happy with the end result. They’re already asking me to come back and help with the rest of their house. I’ve agreed to some friend trips and vacation time before being put to work again. Haha! What do you guys think of the bathroom?
