Finished Flip Photos: The Master Bedroom and Bath

Now that you have scoped out the kitchen, it’s time for a tour of the flip’s master suite!

Originally, the master bedroom had only this tiny half bath – no bueno!

Time For Another Flip?

Luckily, after lots of planning and sketching and creative rearranging . . .

Demolition Progress

. . . we were able to squeeze a really awesome master bath into this home’s footprint.  I’m crazy happy with how it turned out, and it was definitely worth the extra expense of moving the furnace and everything else that went into creating this space.

This was our first time using vessel sinks – what do you think?  We had to modify the cabinets a bit to allow for the taller sinks (i.e., cutting down a really tall toe kick) and I think it turned out really well.

And I’m someone that loves a ginormous shower, so the fact that we were able to add a really spacious shower makes me quite happy.  :)

It’s come a long way, huh?  :)

Demolition Progress

Some little features – we placed the shower controls right by the shower door so that you can reach in and turn on the shower without getting wet, and we made sure to hide the shampoo niche in the pony wall so that all of the soaps and potions aren’t on display to the rest of the bathroom.

To be honest, I was a little underwhelmed with this bathroom during construction – but once all of the pieces were in place, the mirrors in particular, I absolutely fell in love with it.  It’s funny how that happens!

And now the master bedroom!  It has 3 windows, which I love, and great views of the backyard and the deck.  I think that would be nice to wake up to.

The bedroom needed minimal work, mainly just the new windows, refinished floors, new ceiling fan and reworking the closets.  Here’s how it started out:

I think it will be a great retreat for the new owners!

What do you guys think?  Do you think we made the right move by changing the half bath to a full bath?

Before & After: The Master Bath

First of all, a big thanks to the always fabulous Kate for including our flip in her Best of the Blogosphere feature on Sunday!!

The before and after tour of the flip continues with the master bathroom!  (Click to check out the kitchen / dining room and family room.)

It seems like builders in the 70s were really into chopping up master bathrooms into tiny little rooms.  For example, this master bath was divided into separate spaces for “his” vanity, “his” closet, the shower & toilet, “her” vanity and “her” closet – that’s 5 rooms!

We knew we wanted to open up the space but we didn’t want to blow our budget rearranging all of the fixtures, so we just took down the doorways between the “his” and “her” vanity areas and the shower/toilet room.  We also converted the tub into a walk-in shower clad entirely in carrera marble.

Before & After: The Master Bath

To me, the bathroom looks a little stark right now but I think it will warm up once the new owner(s) start living in it and have a chance to add their personal touches.

Sorry for all the glare on the shower, it’s pretty much impossible to photograph!

We were able to save the cabinetry, which was also a huge savings.

We added giant sheet mirrors to bounce more light around the space since it doesn’t get much natural light.

We definitely spent less on this bathroom that the master bathroom at the last flip, but I think the result is just as snazzy.  We accomplished this by using porcelain tile on the floor instead of a natural stone, reusing the cabinetry and keeping the layout the same.  What do you guys think?

The Flip: Days 65-66

Before I left town on Friday we had some exciting developments at the flip.

Hardware was installed on all of the doors . . .

The Flip: Days 65 & 66

I love these levers!!

The Flip: Days 65 & 66

The shower glass was installed – it totally changes the look of the master bathroom!

We also switched out the glass door on the shower in the 3rd bathroom – it was pretty nasty before, and looks soooooo much better now:

We didn’t go completely frameless on that door because we didn’t think it was worth the added cost, and I’m happy with that decision because this door looks great!

The last thing I saw before I left (to go on our annual shopping trip with my mom, sister and aunt) was this:

The Flip: Days 65 & 66

Woohoo!! I’m loving the 1 x 2 subway tile – it’s interesting but not too interesting next to the granite – don’t want too much competition!

And while I was gone Jason was sending me lots of updates, so I didn’t feel like I was missing too much of the action. He hauled over all 5 zillion of the boxes of bamboo so they could acclimate, and had a little help opening all the boxes from the tile guy’s kiddos – too cute!

The Flip: Days 65 & 66

And speaking of Ben, our tile guy, he’s been working magic with some travertine in the jack ‘n jill bathroom:

I saw it last night and the entire bathroom is almost finished – I’m dying over it!!

Is everything looking like you thought it would? Did you have a fab weekend, too?!?

P.S. It was a blast reading your comments on the Saturday Style post – thanks so much for your feedback and lovely words, I was so nervous about how that post would be received since it’s a big departure from the main discussions on this blog. You guys rock!!
