Hall Bath - Finished

This is our first room we've remodeled start to finish. I am really proud of it and relieved it's over. There were so many times along the way we could have just called it "good enough" and moved on. But I don't think there's anything we did only once, we just kept re-doing and figuring things out until we got it right. So I'm proud of that. And I'm happy to be able to give Arden baths again and to have a bathroom for visitors to use that doesn't embarrass me. Instead I'm like, oh thanks for coming over do you need to go to the bathroom you probably should just in case.

We kept the Kohler toilet that was in here. The sink and vanity are new from Ikea, the faucet is old (vintage?) Ikea. This Godmorgon vanity is fine, it's very simple and the drawers are nice storage-wise. Kind of too white over here.

Here is the also beautiful shower tile. I love it so much. This is 2x8 Daltile Natural Hues in Mint. For me it was the perfect mix of mid century style as far as color, but also modern in terms of tile size and installation style. And also, this is technically the kids/guests bathroom so I wanted it to be fun and colorful. I ordered it from Salt Lake Tile, who were amazing and so helpful and let Arden eat all their candy like a candy psychopath, and let me take home their single sample mint piece and carry it around and hold it up next to everything else I ordered for the next month like a tile psychopath.

I will never regret paying someone to install the tile.

But the real winner here is the person that gets to walk on this tile every morning. My favorite thing about this bathroom times a million. It is from Fireclay tile, 6" hexagon in carbon. Since I failed the initial tile install and had to order an additional 5 square feet, I worked with their customer service people who were so nice and got my order to me within a few weeks even though they said they couldn't rush orders. Shh. Thanks fast tile makers! And you just can't beat handmade tile. It is so dimensional and fancy and perfect. Buy it, love it, but don't try to install it yourself.

 
Love you bathroom! So glad you're mine.
