In this week’s blog we have finished up the demolition upstairs and construction for the renovation is underway! To get the vintage farmhouse bathroom vibe, I chose a combination of brick, shiplap, subway tile and hex tile. The brick and shiplap add the weathered patina that recalls the old farmhouse feel, while the two tiles styles are timeless and nostalgic.
I chose to install the subway tile in a herringbone pattern in the guest bath for just a little modern twist. I really wanted to make this guest bath accommodating for all V’s future guests since this would be the main upstairs bathroom other than the master bath.
It was decided at the outset of the remodel project that all tubs in the house would be removed and showers put in their place. After showing V a couple layout options, she really liked the design with a large walk-in shower, custom-made shelving and a floating vanity that shows off the beautiful tile floor design.
