It’s time. No extra false begins. We’re diving head first into our main rest room renovation and taking you alongside for your entire factor. We have heard your fears–“you are going to renovate your rest room after which transfer!” And whereas we’ve carried out that previously two homes, (unusual eventualities and had nothing to do with simply ending our rest room really), we’ve no intention of transferring after this one. I promise. And I feel that is one cause why we’ve been actually taking our time to ensure we get it precisely proper. We even have the insurance coverage of so many different unfinished areas in our home that we will not wait to deal with (extra on that right here).
So, to kick it off, I wished to share a couple of earlier than photographs of our rest room (be aware, these had been taken earlier than we moved in, so there’s not any muddle anyplace, however imagine me once I say the drawers in our vanities are so shallow that we each have a lot ON our counters that do not slot in our drawers.), however nothing else has modified. We by no means painted. The cherry flooring are nonetheless in place. The mirrors on each angle. It is a journey.
The angle under is from the toilet searching into our bed room. The bed room view has undoubtedly changed–can you imagine there was a door into the research from the bed room? We closed that off and put our mattress on that wall for extra privateness.
You can too see the his and her closets within the tight hallway that we’re additionally going to be addressing on this renovation as properly, and that may affect our bed room sq. footage. Under is a tough drawn ground plan of our present rest room format. The squares on the high of the drawing are our closets.
That is the brand new format plan:
I am excited to stroll you thru all of our plans! We labored with Stoffer Cabinetry on these and so they have been great to examine every part off on our wishlist. Even the issues we did not really feel had been attainable, like a bathtub and a sit down self-importance. We now have been modifying and including to those plans for months and I feel we’re lastly to a spot the place we really feel very excited to star! Most lately, we added loads of hidden storage and bumped out our closets into our bed room 24″ to realize extra house. However let me present you the elevations and discuss you thru every part.
One factor that is not so apparent within the new elevation drawings, however you most likely observed within the earlier than pictures–our ceiling is at present one million totally different angles. It is fairly excessive in areas and decrease in others and no angle is identical. As wanted as a vaulted ceiling may be, I feel constant angles assist that. We now have determined to flatten our ceiling to 10′ all through our rest room and closet. That also offers us loads of luxurious peak with out the bizarre angles.
(Elevations A, B, C labeled above, correspond to the labels beneath the elevations under)
This primary elevation is wanting into the toilet on the arch window. You’ll be able to see we moved our vanities to this wall! I can’t wait to not be backlit your entire time I am preparing!!! Every of our mirrors will likely be medication cupboards for extra storage. We saved the bathtub in its present place, and are even leaning towards doing an undermount tub, surrounded by stone slabs. You may get a a lot bigger tub in case you do undermount which is interesting to us, as is the veiny stone slab I am envisioning. (However, I do LOOOVVVEE a free-standing tub, too, and I’ve actually been forwards and backwards one million occasions on that call.) The bathtub nook can have a cased opening within the renovation. Choice 1 (above) has a wider opening that also permits for the paneling on the partitions to proceed.
Choice 2 (under) has a gap that mimics the form of the window. Chris and I are nonetheless speaking by way of which we favor as a result of we every favor totally different ones! Haha! I like possibility 1 and the continuity of the trim on the partitions and the broader opening to see a bit extra of the tile work that will likely be within the nook. He prefers the pure arch designed to match the window form. When renovating, you are certain to return up in opposition to one thing you may’t agree on. We simply discuss it out till we’re aligned. (And he stated, “I do not actually care that a lot, I feel each would look good”)…so we are able to most likely guess which path we’re going with! However I might love to listen to your choice only for enjoyable!
If you happen to flip round from this view, you will note an arch main into the hallway that may home the sit down self-importance and our closets. Extra on these in a minute. You’ll be able to see we moved our bathe right here, mirrored by the water closet on the opposite facet. We beloved having a sink in our final house’s rest room’s water closet, however we opted to make use of that house for a sit down self-importance as an alternative right here. And! Joyful to report we’ve discovered {that a} single glass bathe door actually offers you one of the best of each worlds. No cleansing a complete glass bathe, nevertheless it nonetheless permits mild to stream in. There will likely be a transom window above the bathe door for air motion when we do not have the steam bathe on.
And a few fairly in-shower particulars. No kidding–the DETAIL that Stoffer cabinetry places into their concepts and elevations are unmatched. We wished to create the identical paneling impact within the bathe as the remainder of the partitions of the toilet and I am unable to wait to see this come to life. We’re going to do a sensible bathe, so the controls will really be on a panel proper exterior of the bathe.
The final view, for in the present day, is the hallway view. On the proper, you may see the sit down self-importance space, with a pocket door main into my closet. The self-importance space has a drawer and hidden storage in both of the partitions. On his facet, you may see the place we carved out some further house for towel storage. It really cuts into the bathe bench!
All of it appears like a dream come true!! I am going to share extra concerning the finishes and the closet in an upcoming publish. However for now, this appears like loads of particulars to drool over. Simply me??
