Please don't be alarmed when I tell you my favorite room is a bathroom. I know a bathroom is not the obvious choice as a favorite spot (Unless you're a guy. Then I think it would be considered perfectly normal.)
Welcome to our master bathroom...
Our master bathroom was completely overhauled in 2011. It was my first attempt at designing a total room remodel, and I loved the process of planning the layout and choosing all the materials. Documenting our experience is what propelled me into the world of blogging.
You see, the bathroom started out looking like this...
The combination of wallpaper, carpeting, a ginormous
After a complete gut job, removing walls and moving plumbing, the toilet is now in a separate water closet, and we have a large open shower.
I love the spacious shower, and I don't miss cleaning glass one tiny bit!
The vanity area is light and bright, and the cabinetry provides ample storage.
I selected finishes that would appear timeless, such as carrara marble countertops and chrome bridge faucets.
One of my favorite things in my favorite room is my antique chandelier.
At the end of an exhausting day keeping up with a traveling husband, four young sons and a big ole dog, there is no place I'd rather be than in a hot bubble bath in my favorite room.
I'd love for you to come visit me at Sweet Chaos and check out the other rooms I'm working on! Our house might be chaotic, but we have a lot of fun.
Kim, thank you so very much for allowing me to share my favorite room with your readers. You have been such a wonderful blogging friend to me, and I'm so grateful to you for all your support and encouragement.
Thanks, Carolyn, for sharing your stunning master bathroom. I remember gasping the first time I saw it.

Beautiful bathroom. What is the source of the towel bars next to the sinks.?I'm looking for something small like that. Towel rings are not my thing.
ReplyDeleteI love your bathroom! Especially the open shower. I would LOVE to have a shower like that, but I'm afraid I would end up splashing water all over the bathroom. Just wondering if that is ever a problem?
ReplyDeleteCarolyn's bath is so stunning and a relaxing escape. I love the fixtures and that chandlier is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing this with us. Really enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteCynthia
What a lovely color on the walls!
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing Carolyn's bathroom when she revealed it last year and thinking it was AMAZING! And I still think that, too!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe it's the same space! truly elegant and simply gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou could put down some nice rugs maybe?
ReplyDeleteI have actually been looking to buy some rugs lately.. anyone know any sites?
I've heard about Rugman.com? Any experiences there? :)
Wow!!! I can see why this is her favorite room....you can practically live in there! So pretty.
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled upon this series of yours and have had fun looking through some of your guests.
Enjoy your weekend.
