And so! We meet again! Muahaha...have I got a crazy before & after for YOU! It seems like it's been a hundred years since I posted about my friend Eryn's Kitchen Facelift, promising to "be back soon" with photos of her master bathroom renovation. In reality, it was only about nine months. Honestly, "soon" is such a relative term, am I right? Obligatory background: We live in a neighborhood full of "cozy" {small} and "charming" {dated} cottages and colonials which were built in the early 1980s. Eryn's particular model has something which was pretty uncommon in that era: A master suite on the first floor. Which was great! But too small, and not nearly fabulous enough. Here is the original layout: Below are the "Before" shots. Not horrible, just very small and very...basic: Below is The Plan {insert dramatic music here}. You can see that in addition to the master bathroom, the powder room and closets were also completely reworked {stay tuned for those posts}: {Side note: Below is my absolute FAVORITE kind of "During" photo. Whoa mama! What a mess. I love it...because I didn't have to live with it!} And finally...below are the "After" shots. I'm truly in awe of Eryn's incredible vision and tenacity {and she obviously had some awesome contractors, too}. ;-) What. A. Project. LOOK at this tile feature wall. I. Almost. Died. Stunning...right?!

That is some transformation! But I have to admit, I really loved the little vanity in the before shots, it is so beautiful with the legs...looks like furniture. That shower...wow.

I think I like the shower the best. The tile pattern is really nice and goes well together.

This is a great transformation. It's easy to see the mark of a good architect in the space planning and this looks like a particularly challenging project. The shower tile is some of the nicest I've seen, and I've seen a lot! Kudos for a job very well done.

Thank you so much! Yes, this was a particularly challenging project managing all of the contractors and various elements that go into making the room both luxurious and functional. Marilyn does have a knack for spacial configuration and Walter is a true artist with tile work. We held our contractors to the highest of standards and in the end we all came together to create this beautiful master bath I envisioned.

Wahoo you're back!! So glad to see this here. Love that bath redo...totally amazing. What I really liked best in all of it was the door...gives me an idea for our bathroom in our room over the garage (where husband is currently putting in insulation as I type this :))

Wow- such a gorgeous bathroom! I LOVE the shower tiles and especially the hanging light fixtures- you don't see that very often in bathrooms!

Excellent job on the remodeling. I really like the tile you used in the shower. Plus the plantation shutters add a classic touch. I love plantation shutters. About 6 months ago we had Shenandoah Shutters install plantation shutters in the main floor. I absolutely adore them!
