I love my husband. He has amazing skills, many that he has learned from his Dad. One such set of skills has scored us a new bathroom. It has taken longer than expected (doesn't everything, ha!), and we still have a few finishing touches and touch-ups to do, but we are LOVING it.
Our bathroom is not a very large space, but I think we have made very good use of the space we have, so it seems plenty spacious.
Making decisions it not my strong suit. Though I do end up making a good decision, getting there is a long process, with often too much thought. Myles is much quicker at making decisions, so this can be painful for him. However, he is glad that I take time to think things through. It took a lot of time to finally decide what I wanted to do for our bathroom, because we were changing everything. I knew I wanted a light and airy feel. Our bathroom has an awesome skylight, so I also knew I wanted to highlight the clean lines that it has, but without feeling too modern in style.
Over whelmed with all the possibilities, I started with what I knew I wanted and then went from there. Number 1. I wanted a square sink. When looking at all of the sinks and vanities, I was only drawn to the square sink, I just love it. After picking that out I was able to make decisions that I thought would look good with it. Brown vanity, because it was pretty and I couldn't choose everything white and the mirror was a great deal at hobby lobby. For all the fixtures we went with brushed nickel to match what was on the vanity. The tile for the floor, we just used what we had gotten for the kitchen because it was a great match, white with a little bit of brown marbled in.
The vanity has worked out so great! Myles and I each have our own side of storage for our toiletries. I have however, taken over one of the drawers on his side...he was only using one :)
For the shower, we knew we were going to rip out the old shower and tile a new one. Our decision, here made for more labor and a longer timeline for finishing, but it was definitely worth it! We chose subway tile, with a pretty accent tile for the cut out, bench, and floor.
I am so thankful for all the hard work Myles (and his Dad) put in, and how much care he took in making things level and straight. It means a lot to this perfectionist wife!

Now that the bones are finished (minus the molding), I can start thinking about how I want to decorate it and what kind of art to bring into the space.....oh the decisions never stop!
