My poor master bath desperately needs a makeover. I’ve been trying to decide what to do with it since we moved here, so I’m always on the look-out for master-bath inspiration. When Hooked on Houses reader Heidi sent me photos of her bathroom remodel, I was definitely inspired. Hers was small, dark, and outdated, as you can see in the “before” pics.
To start with, they took three small rooms and turned them into one large master bathroom. They gained even more space by adding a bay-window area around the tub. Take a look!
Heidi says, “To trim the beadboard wainscoting, I chose these iridescent mosaic tiles (Bizazza tile, from Italy) because they reminded me of sea glass, which is one of my favorite things in the world.” The lovely wall color, Martha Stewart’s “Atlantic,” was chosen to complement the tiles.
She also chose more contemporary-looking faucets than you might expect in a traditional-looking bath because she wanted to “mix it up a little.” She says she prefers an eclectic look over having everything match.
The new limestone floor is heated. Heidi says the shower ended up big enough to fit their entire family, plus pets, friends, and neighbors!
I think they did a beautiful job creating a spa-like bath for themselves. Thanks to Heidi for sharing it with us! You can see the rest of the photos and get more details about the remodel on her blog, Heart and Home. She also has photos of her impressive kitchen makeover here. Have a room makeover you want to share with us? Send your photos to me here.
I’m joining a couple of fun blog parties today. Be sure to visit Thrifty Decor Chick’s Before & After party and Susan’s Metamorphosis Monday to see more makeovers!

Would love those tiles in our kitchen as a backsplash.
Beautiful, luxurious remodel…thanks for posting it.
That is SO gorgeous! I love before and afters. What an amazing transformation!
So, sooo beautiful! I love the separate sinks…very cool! Makes me very envious…we have 2 full baths, but only 1 is upstairs with the bedrooms. We have to share a tiny 1970s size bathroom with a preschooler and a toddler. Not fun. :s

If I extended my bathroom into the next room or two or three…I wouldn’t have any bedrooms, how fortunate to have the option!
The more I think about it, bedrooms are over-rated….:)

Thank you so much for sharing this. I love your blog and I love coming here for inspiration. We have three baths that need a redo. Funny how these things sneak up on you. We won’t be able to do all three this year so our master will probably have to wait until next year but I am already starting to collect ideas for where we are going. There were several here that I will add to my file.

What a beautiful transformation!!! So inspiring! Love ALL the details!
What an amazing transformation! The tiles as trim to the wainscoting was a genius style choice, and really brings something unexpected and just … pretty … to the bathroom even though a man shares the space as well. We are talking and talking about the faucet and fixtures to use in our bathroom once we get going.

does water splace out on the floor much, since you have no doors on the shower? thx

I’m not sure! I would visit Heidi’s blog and ask her. It looks big enough to avoid that problem, though! -Julia
