The Flip: The Master Bathroom, Then & Now

We’re nearing the end of our tour of the flip!  I must admit, I’m a little sad.  :)

So far we’ve seen the great room (staging sources here), the dining room (staging sources here), the jack ‘n jill bathroom, the laundry room and the master bedroom (staging sources here) – so of course it’s time for the master bathroom!!

When we bought the house we could tell that the master bathroom had lots of potential since it was pretty large, but the layout was terrible and incredibly choppy.  The space was split into 6 rooms!!

You can see the original layout of the master bathroom in the floor plan below – 3 closets, a “wet room” with the shower/tub and toilet, a room with the sinks, and another room with a makeup vanity.  Talk about choppy!

The Flip's Floor Plan

To take full advantage of the footprint of the master bathroom, all of the walls had to come out (except the shell of the 2 connected closets, which were combined into 1).  The makeup vanity turned into another closet, and the original third closet turned into a huge walk-in shower!  (See how we came up with the new layout here).

Take a look for yourself at how it all turned out.

After the great room, I’m most envious of this bathroom (in particular the jetted tub).  What are your favorite features?

Sleek + Sophisticated: Floating Shelves

Whether our next kitchen is in a house we live in or a house we flip, I’ve made a resolution that our kitchen is going to have open shelving of some kind.

Right now I’m kind of obsessed with floating shelves, as opposed to just glass-fronted cabinets or open shelving.  They always look crisp, clean and sophisticated, don’t you think?  And the best part is that they work in every style of kitchen and they’re more affordable than regular cabinetry.

For me, the perfect combination would be a ton of closed storage and a few floating shelves sprinkled in for either display or those dishes and glasses that we use every day.  {Like that phenomenal kitchen from last week!}

Are you ready to feast your eyes on some scrumptious kitchens?

First, a few stainless steel beauties . . .

I have to admit that dark-stained wood is my favorite look:

Classic white is always in style and allows the shelving to blend into the background:

Floating shelves in natural wood tones give a beachy, understated look:

And floating shelves are so cool when they span a corner, don’t you think?

Would you ever rock a set of floating shelves in your kitchen?  Keeping them clutter-free would be a total pain, but do you think the sacrifice is worth it?
