I know—I know, I’m behind in the game.
But I’ve been super busy trying to play catch up this past week.
A little carless accident that involved an evening tea and boiling water set me back BIG time during week 3. But no worries, the burnt hand is healing up quickly and I’m determined to finish this baby on time.
If you’re just tuning in, I’m a linking participant in the One Room Challenge. You can catch up with week 1 and week 2 here. I’m (slowly but surely) revamping this drabby-looking master ensuite bathroom into something fresh and sophisticated.
So let’s get down to the nitty gritty shall we.
First off, I removed all the tile around the tub—okay the hubs did it. But I helped! Watching and directing the hubs with a bandaged hand is a tough job, somebody needs to do it 😉
To make our lives easier, we tried to save as much drywall behind the tile as we could. So for the most part, I guess we did okay. . .
We also removed the two ceramic towel holders under the window. Having towel bars that low just doesn’t work for us tall people. I have a special DIY project in the works to replace this.
Next, I patched everything up and I did it fast because I couldn’t stand looking at the mess. It’s all prep for the feature wall I’m about to create!
As for the tile around the tub. . . well I’m going to paint that out white. And if all goes smoothly, I hope to paint the shower stall too. It such a money and time saver in this reno process.
The floors still need to be replaced. We plan to tackle this on the weekend.
These are the options I’m looking at right now. . .
As for the vanity, we were going to convert it to a double sink but at this time it’s going to remain as a single. However, I’m torn between giving it a fresh coat of paint or just leaving it as is. oh decisions! decisions!
So I’m left with exactly two more weeks to finish this all.
I have my hands full, don’t I?!
Wish me luck. . . because I need it!
Until next week (and hopefully injury free!).
P.S. – Did you catch a glimpse of this? I’m still in shock! PLN’s home office is one of the winners in the BHG Makeover Madness Linky Party! *happy dance*

I like the bottom right tile.. I like it for the floors as well, but in a darker color.
The bones of your vanity look great – think a paint job is a great solution. Sorry about your hand!
I think that may be the route I’m going in! It will be a nice refresh. Thanks for stopping by:)
Great job!! I wouldn’t have the patience to do it myself, but it would be a huge money saver!
It’s definitely a huge money saver to do these things on your own (especially when you’re married to a handyman!) Thanks for the comment!
My fiance and I are moving into our first home on May 3rd, and I can’t wait to start some DIY projects! It looks like a lot of work, but very rewarding!
Congratulations! You will have a blast making it your own! Wish you all the best 🙂
A girl after my own heart! Love your style.
I actually really love the bottom right option. Very sleek, modern, and clean. 2 weeks huh? You can do it! Good luck.
Thanks so much Celine! Hope I can make that deadline 😉
Wow looking good 🙂 Kudos to you for still plugging away with a hurt hand. Glad that you are doing well though!! It’s inspiring 🙂
I like the bottom right also. It’s starting to shape up! 🙂
Hey Sabrina! So sorry to hear about your hand. I know this bathroom will look gorgeous! p.s. loving the marble hexagon tile, but you got great options there. Cant wait to see the final reveal!
I hope you pick the Carrara marble tile! Congrats on your BHG makeover win. Hope your hand feels better.
Great project! I like the bottom right tile! Your bathroom is going to look great!
So sorry to hear about your hand – hope it’s feeling better! Love all of those tile options – your bathroom is going to be so dramatically different! Have a great weekend!
You have a big job ahead of you. It would take me 2 weeks just to pick the tile. good luck.
