Bathroom Remodel

This is the first post to show some of the changes we have made inside the farmhouse since moving in here. Our bathroom was actually featured last year on a home improvement website by author Kathryn Bechen.

It's been a year, but the bathroom still feels brand-new to us. The room we replaced was over 50 years old, and really needed to be completely gutted and made over..... so that's what we did.

The color is Glidden's "Soft Blueberry" and we still like it. I was a little afraid of such a bold color, but the white trim balances it nicely.

We have so enjoyed the new space... and so have our guests!


We LOVE the clawfoot tub!
And the cabinet on the left was custom made for the space. So was the shelf for towels and baskets.

The towel hooks behind the tub redeem "dead space".

*Keep reading... this is blog "dead space", and I don't have a way to redeem it.  :)

There's a huge walk-in shower on the right by the sink.

And we've decorated with antique bottles and mason jars to add some history to the room.

(More dead space here, but there's one more photo to see. Keep scrolling!) ... ..........

Here's the potty space beside the shower. We found this cool, galvanized display piece at a cute shop in Sutton's Bay (Northern Michigan) and filled the cubby holes with vintage jars, sea shells and other knick-knacks.  I'm not usually fond of too many knick-knacks, but I like them here.

It's a wonderful bathroom, and friends have crowded in to see it when they come over.  We actually had 11 people in this bathroom at one time, but that is not typical.
