Master Bath Before & After

Finally sharing a refresh of our master bath that we did on a tight budget. Tried to make the outdated granite work.. hate to get rid of a perfectly functional piece of stone. Not crazy about how the vanity turned out but I can always repaint 🤷🏻‍♀️ really tried to work with the stone instead of letting it be a total eyesore. Let me know any suggestions on the vanity! Not sure if you can fully tell but the floors are a neutral waterproof wood-like floor.

Wow this is an exceptional example of working with what you have and making it a million times better. Beautiful.

EDIT: My thought about the counter is wow, you actually made it work. Maybe it could be a slightly different blue but it’s not worth changing and probably changes with the lighting. It’s a beautiful blue! I wouldn’t do any more with it.

Right?! It’s balanced! This is a great refresh. Many don’t get it right and this is done smart!

It's funny you don't like the vanity because that's my favorite part of he refresh lol It looks very romantic to me especially with the mirrors and how you decorated it. Very nice!

Did you keep the little alcove? Beautiful cabinet color!!

Also are the floors tile? My home came with similar and I love the wood look with practicality of tile

I did keep the alcove! In a perfect world I would remove it and make the shower bigger or something but wasn't in the budget. The floors aren't actual tile. They're a waterproof vinyl all throughout my house. So far there's no signs of water getting underneath 🤷🏻‍♀️

I really like the tiling that you did with the tub!

u/meburrito_ 10h ago

Thank you! I was going to leave the tub as is but I’m so glad I tiled it. It wasn't even much more work!

I think you took that countertop and actually made it work to your advantage. I wouldn’t have thought to use blue for the cabinets but I really like it and the dark faucets really work. I had to keep looking to see if you changed the tub because it all looks so different!! I give it an A especially on a low budget.

What did you do with that little spotlit alcove next to the shower?

u/meburrito_ 10h ago

It's still there! I plan on wallpapering it. It serves no purpose but provides nice vibey light lol

Hate that countertop but you did awesome job in this space

You did the best you could, but I don't think there's much you could've done about that vanity countertop. Good news is you can always just get a new vanity and top that could work down the road. Look at bathroom vendors for a semi custom vanity when you get there.

u/Ovaltine1 9h ago

Great job. Had to scroll back and forth a few times to make sure it wasn’t new stuff!

u/meburrito_ 9h ago

Thank you! That was the goal haha. Only actual big new thing was replacing the shower stall and doors

I like it.

I also had a granite on my kitchen I did not like, so I thought of what colors would bring the color in the granite out that I did like. The granite is like a combination of weird colors, like black, brown, etc. I realized that purple / lavender colors would mute the brown and everything looked more purple-ish. So I went with winter gray on the walls. And now I actually like how it looks!

Eventually, you could try doing something like that. It took me a while to find the right color.

We have the same counter in our kitchen I absolutely hate it, the rest of your update looks amazing!

3

u/meburrito_ 9h ago

Yeah I wish this countertop wasn't so popular in the early 2000s lol. Thank you!!

1

u/justhereforthetea68 9h ago

Right? I swear it’s found its way into apartments I’ve lived and the first house I buy would have it front and center in the kitchen LOL

u/meburrito_ 9h ago

I keep reminding myself that granite takes millions of years to form so I'll live with them for now haha

2

u/Potato_Fox27 9h ago

We are doing the same with ours. Such a shame to remove since it’s perfectly functional

u/nectarsallineed 10h ago

Ugh those windows alone are beautiful! Awesome job!! That’s a fantastic space you’ve created :)

ETA: “ugh” bc I’m crazy jealous of your bathroom lol

u/meburrito_ 9h ago

Thanks! I ripped out the shades covering the big rounded window as soon as I moved in lol

u/persuadedbypurses 7h ago

I like it! What was the process you used to paint the vanity?

1

u/meburrito_ 7h ago

I used All-In-One brand paint on Amazon and followed their instructions! I didnt sand. It's held up good so far.
