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Hers was small, dark, and outdated, as you can see in the “before” pics. Take a look!
Small Bathroom, Big Makeover
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.
To trim the beadboard wainscoting, Heidi chose these iridescent mosaic tiles (Bizazza tile, from Italy) because they reminded her of sea glass, “which is one of my favorite things in the world.”
The 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!
Thanks to Heidi for sharing it with us! Read more about the remodel on her blog Heart and Home.

Amanda @ Serenity Now says
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

What a difference…so beautiful!
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….:)

pam @ becolorful says
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.

Heather says
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
