Master Bath - Before & After

Let's just get into the photos!

I didn't take a whole lot of "before" photos because there wasn't really a lot going on. It's just the normal double sink, mirror, bathtub situation. But here are the before photos:



Here is a picture of our towel rack before. Again, it's pretty standard.

There were a few things I wanted to change:
1) COLOR! I wanted something that felt clean & relaxing.
2) I wanted the bathroom to have a "clean" feeling.
3) I needed to find a way to deal with the towel situation. Our linen closet is on the other side of the house which is quite annoying.
4) C doesn't understand the point of having towels for decoration, so I wanted to remove the towel rack that was used for towels that we don't use.
5) There were no towel hooks/racks/whatever by the sink so our hand towels were always laying around (which would lead to towel that got stinky fast!).

So here are the after photos:

First, the color is Bay Mist by Valspar. It was a little different than what I wanted, but I now love it!

Here is what I did to solve the towel situation. The storage unit is actually a wardrobe from Ikea. It fits perfectly where our old towel rack stood.


I also purchased a new shower curtain in white. The new color theme is aqua & white, which I feel gives the "clean" look I was going for.


This is the hook I also purchased at Ikea for us to hang our wet towels on. I love that it is right next to the shower.

We framed the mirror to dress it up a bit & also installed the towel rings so our hand towels now have a home. I purchased the rings from HomeGoods for about $7 a piece.



I am happy to have a master bath that I love & is now functional!
