It’s a beautiful day to start a renovation, don’t you think?! Today is SUCH an exciting day for me! If you’ve been following along here, then you know that we started my Dream Closet Renovation last fall, and even then, I was talking about renovating our bathroom. Our bathroom is functional, but it isn’t “pretty”. It’s never been my style. My dreams of transforming our bathroom into an Industrial Chic oasis are finally becoming a reality! I can’t wait to show you these plans.
Week 1 / Week 2 / Week 3 / Week 4
Week 5 / Week 6 / Week 7 / Week 8
Week 9 / Week 10 (Final Reveal!)
I’ll start with the before pics. We have a bizarre room where the bathroom is totally open to the bedroom. The toilet is hidden in the corner though! lol. The tub is the most open part. In the picture above, you can see the footboard of the bed only about two feet away from the tiled in tub. At first it was strange, but now I love it. While I’m soaking in the tub, I can have the fire going from the fireplace and watch a chick flick if I want (TV above the fireplace). Give me a glass of wine and this picture is perfect! Except for the outdated tub of course… lol.
We have some very uninspiring blinds in the window that I’m looking forward to replacing too – it’s not doing anything fabulous for our space.
Behind the tub wall is our vanity… and yes, it is always this crowded, lol. There is so much about this vanity space that I don’t like, The colour of the oak cabinets, the gross lights above the mirror, the shell-shaped sinks. Not modern. Not industrial. Not chic.
Our closet entry used to be across from our vanity… but we’ve already changed some things around there! I’ll remind you next week… or you can check it out for yourself here.
Then there’s the shower… tucked away in a tiny square corner. I cannot tell you how excited my husband and I are to expand the shower! A full, tiled shower with body jets and a rain head.. it’s a dream come true!
And finally, an outdated toilet with some towels stacked in the only storage spot we have.
Never fear my friends! There are changes coming!
Starting here….
Are you drooling yet?!! Look at the beautiful square edges on that Rectangular Vessel Sink by Acri-Tec. When I saw these on The Home Depot website, I called my husband right away. Literally that second. Rectangular vessel sinks are a dream come true!
And then to top them off with gorgeous matte black faucet from Delta faucet. THIS faucet is everything.
Our old tub took up SO much space. Removing the tile, taking the tub out, and replacing it with a beautiful Freestanding Acri-Tec tub is something I’m beyond excited about!
And then to top it all off…. a gorgeous chrome tub filler from Delta faucet.
Then we couldn’t update all of the fixtures and leave our outdated toilet… enter sleek American Standard toilet from The Home Depot!
What do you think of our plans?! Does a modern bathroom appeal to you?! I’d LOVE to hear your thoughts!

Ooooooo, LOVE where you’r going with things Lindi! The fixtures look incredible – I can’t wait to see them in the finished space!
Thank you! I’m SO excited about those fixtures and faucets! :)
You must be so excited with your new bathroom, it looks amazing! You have done a great job.

Thank you Maria! I’m ready to get this renovation going now!
It’s going to look a-mazing! Gotta admit, I am very jealous! Can I make a wee suggestions? For your shower stall, consider a hand held sprayer as well. I’ve been cleaning houses for years and the one major peeve I have is trying to clean a shower that doesn’t have one or a faucet. A hand held shower spray makes it easier to keep the shower clean on a daily basis as well as when you do your weekly clean. Enjoy making your oasis!
Thank you SO much Sue for the suggestion! We actually had our friend (also a cleaner) suggest that already, so we’ve ordered one! I’ll be showing some more pics of all our faucet choices in the coming weeks :)
So excited for you! You have such a nice space to work with. It’s going to look amazing all finished.
Thank you! I cannot wait to get into this space and make it a place that I LOVE!
Come on, you’re getting rid of the shell sinks? They are so nostalgic…lol. I love where you’re going with this. Just a bit jealous you’re doing a freestanding tub–we’re about to get started on our master bath to put in a tub, and we just couldn’t make a freestanding tub work with the layout. I also love that you have a window above the tub space!
YES! The freestanding tub is a dream come true! And if you like the window… you’re also gonna love the light fixture I’m putting in that little nook! #youhearditherefirst
It’s going to look amazing, Lindi! I love the fixtures and tile too!!!
Thank you my friend! We are SUPER excited to get started!
I really like your design plan – I could totally see that in my house too :) We opted for a hidden trapway toilet too, and it’s so much easier to the sides. (And by clean, I mean that the dust doesn’t collect there so it just looks cleaner haha!).
I KNOW!! That was my #1 reason for choosing that toilet – not having to clean the messy sides!
So fun! Can’t wait to watch it come together!
Thanks girl! Exciting times!!
Wow! Love the plans. And how awkward yet awesome is that open bathroom?! You are so right about the soaking while netflixing. But.. there’s still something strange about it all, lol.
I know! Takes time to get used to it! But I LOVE the big window beside the tub :)
I can’t wait to see how it turns out – I love our rectangular vessel sink!
Love the sinks you’ve picked out and that floor tile-swooning! Can’t wait to see the finished make-over! Thanks for sharing with Funtastic Friday!
I’m curious as to what you have planned for your large window over the tub? We have that same issue and I hated blinds on it, but obviously don’t want it wide open. Love the direction you have planned with the tile. Beautiful combination.
I love your design plan! Contemporary without looking stark.
Love the towels above the toilet
Me too! That’s the only good part :)
Can you share the tile source? We are renovating out bath now as well and I’m looking for that same tile.
Yes! Which tile are you looking for? I’ll be doing a whole post on the tile next week, but I’m happy to share which one we picked with you right away too!
