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.

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?
