I am so excited to finally reveal the guest bathroom that we worked so hard on to transform from dark and dated to light and bright. I shared several progress posts over the last several weeks and I never expected this to take so long. The last hold up was waiting on the bath faucet and shower kit to come in that had to be special ordered to fit the existing plumbing. What was supposed to take a week to come in took almost four weeks, but it's in and all is good now. So are you ready? There are lots of photos from different angles since this is a tiny room with no window for natural light.
We used beadboard planks and trim from Home Depot and installed it high.
Of course my favorite change is the basket weave tile floor.
I placed my old chippy stool in here to hold an enamelware pail.....
...which holds some things my guests may need.
A red ticking shower curtain with ruffles continues the farmhouse feel
as it hangs from a shiny new rod.
as it hangs from a shiny new rod.
I never knew I could love a white tub so much and the new faucet kit is shiny and bright.
A thick bath mat with ruffled trim for my guests to step on after a nice hot shower.
Thick and thirsty white towels with black trim and a monogram hang close by on brass hooks.
The red Antiques sign adds a pop of color on the neutral walls.
I used hooks instead of a towel bar.
I reframed the art that was in here before with a cheap frame from Hobby Lobby.
I just love the vintage appeal of this print and the little boy's face.
Polished nickel faucet and a new black granite vanity top (both from Home Depot) with sink add some sparkle.
Here's some nice hand wash I bought in Savannah.
A new light, mirror and hand towel ring in polished nickel.
A vintage French torchon is ready to dry wet hands.
This is what the light looks like since I can't get a shot of it in this dark bathroom.
Newly painted cabinets and new polished nickel handles.
Oh, and we can't forget the new white throne also from Home Depot.
After everything was done and the decorative touches had been added we were admiring our work.
I have to thank Mr. Savvy for all the hard work he did as my carpenter, electrician, plumber, tile layer and help with the painting. I could not have even thought about beginning this project without his help! Good thing I married a handyman!

Thanks, Darlene.
DeleteVery pretty! Do you mind sharing where you found that great bath mat?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sally. That was found at Tuesday Morning.
DeleteKim, it turned out wonderful! I love the height of the bead board and the floor is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Penny. I'm glad we hung it high, too.
DeletePretty, pretty, pretty! I love it all. My favorite change is the basketweave floor. It's perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Ellen.
DeleteNew bath looks great....what a transformation! I love the tile floor pattern. Your guests are in for a treat!

ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful!

ReplyDeleteLory at Designthusiasm
Thanks, Lory. It was fun to decorate.
DeleteThis turned out so cute, Kim! I'm sure you're loving it. Love the shower curtain and that vintage black stool!
ReplyDeleteMary Alice
Thanks, Mary Alice!
DeleteFabulous Kim, love the shower curtain and of course the floor~ all brand new but looks timeless~
ReplyDeleteJenna
Thanks, Jenna. That was what I was trying to create. Glad it turned out that way.
DeleteIt is absolutely wonderful. I wish you could come to my house and redo it. I love your style.
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet, Debra. Thanks!
DeleteHard to believe it's the same room....really turned out well. Where did you find that shower curtain?
ReplyDeletePottery Barn. Thanks
DeleteI am wondering, since colors can be deceiving and this item is on clearance, so no returns, is the red a dark or bright red and is the other color cream or white? Sorry...but if I order I can't return it if it's wrong. Thank you!!
DeleteIt is a regular cherry red and the white is more ivory.
Deletethank you
DeleteVery Fabulous Kim! I think I love everything you did in the bathroom-great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Darrielle.
DeleteBeautiful makeover, Kim! However, why did you choose brass hooks when the light fixture and faucets are brushed nickel?
ReplyDeleteNancie, I actually bought those before I chose the polished nickel fixtures. I was going to paint them black and then decided to just leave them. I don't mind mixed metals and the bathroom is a farmhouse style and a farmhouse would probably have lots of mismatched stuff. thanks
DeleteKim, it really does look amazing. Love your beautiful finishes, so classic and your accessories are perfect.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Marty.
DeleteAbsolutely gorgeous Kim!! I love everything, All the new finishes, tile, colors and decor!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! You and Mr. Savvy are a great team!!
XO
Thanks, Cristina!
DeleteOMGoodness, it looks fabulous!!! You and Mr. Savvy are a great team! I love every detail, the shower curtian and mat are terrific!!! BEAUTIFUL job!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Pinky.
DeleteEverything looks wonderful. Especially love the tile floor and red ruffled shower curtain. Where did you get that darling white ruffled bath mat???
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. The bath mat is from Tuesday Morning.
DeleteVery pretty and I love the farmhouse look. The shower curtain is adorable and love the tile floor especially!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Megan.
DeleteGreat job on the bathroom! Love it all. One small suggestion to consider: A few years ago I began to use two shower curtains instead of just one...it gives the space a really nce look...especially with that curtain, which I just love!
ReplyDeleteAnn, this one shower curtain is all I need in this tiny space. The door is open in front of the tub so another curtain is pointless. I also have to keep this open to allow the light over the tub to help light the room. Thanks
DeleteKim your bathroom looks absolutely stunning! You and your husband did a beautiful job! LOVE all of your selections!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anne.
DeleteThis is just the cutest little bathroom ever! You guys did such an amazing job. I love the shower curtain and antiques sign, the fixtures and linens, and that floor is swoon worthy. Oh, heck, I just love everything, even the pump soap sitting in the cute white dish. Darling! I wish I could transport everything to my own house. :)
ReplyDeleteLaurel, you are just way too sweet.
DeleteI love your new bathroom,guess i came on your blog just in time to see a great redo,wonderful job.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marlene.
DeleteAll those little details add up to one great makeover! It's simply stunning Kim! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteJust luvly Kim. I luv the mix of metals!!

DeleteKim, the bathroom looks AMAZING! I love every single thing:)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tara.
DeleteFresh, fabulous farmhouse style! Kim, you and your hubby did an excellent job. I love the red, white, and black combo, as I have it in my kitchen, and with your bright accents, it's bold and beautiful!
ReplyDeletePoppy
Thanks, Poppy.
DeleteIt looks amazing Kim! I love this farmhouse bathroom! My favorite parts are you basket weave tile floor and that adorable ticking shower curtain. That chippy stool is great too! You are blessed to have a handy husband ;) ~julie
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julie. Yes, blessed indeed.
DeleteLooks wonderful, so glad you chose the red ticking shower curtain!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I was thrilled to get that hung.
DeleteLove the high bead board and the stool/enamel bucket adds just farmhouse style!
ReplyDeleteLori
Thanks.
DeleteThat turned out really GREAT, Kim. I love the new/old look of it. It really does look like a farmhouse bathroom. You ARE lucky to have a resident handy-man....many of us are not that lucky. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diana.
DeleteGreat Job! Looks wonderful! One question, where did you get the towels?
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for some white towels with a touch of black trim for our bathroom.
Thanks
Thanks, Kristie. Those are from Pottery Barn.
DeleteI was REALLY looking forward to today's post. I've been following your makeover the whole time and I was excited to see the final reveal! It is fantastic. I adore so many of the elements you incorporated into the room. I love the faucet fixture and the shower curtain. I am going to take a look at the Tuesday Morning near my home to see if they carry that fabulous bathmat (although they all carry different things). In addition, the little stool with the pail really adds extra charm to the entire space. Great job! Your hard work (and the hard work of Mr. Savvy) really paid off.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Michelle from simplysantabarbara.blogspot.com
This turned out so great, Kim! I love the floor tile. Makes me wish my husband or I were more handy. You'll have to kick your guests out with the guest room and bathroom being so pretty, haha!
ReplyDeleteabsolutely gorgeous !!! Love that tile floor, classic and timeless, and sooooo pretty !!! the shower curtain is so pretty too !!!! love the touches of red !
ReplyDeleteSo. Cute. Kim.
ReplyDeleteLove everything about it, that tile is delicious and the chippy stool with the enamelware bowl is darling. I have one similar and I love what you did with yours!! I know what it's like to have a room with zero natural light. You took lovely pictures. Congrats on the fab new room (and nice work Mr. Savvy!!)
This is a true beauty!!! I adore the upscale farmhouse look Kim. And your signature touch of red in the ruffled shower curtain is darling! What an inspiration!!! Kudos to you and Mr Savvy!
ReplyDeleteLovely Kim, and I bet you're so relieved to have it all done, the mess cleaned up , and the house back in order.
ReplyDeleteFantastic Kim, I love everything. I didn't see where got the shower curtain from. I'd like something similar in black
ReplyDeleteCindy
Looks wonderful, Kim. That floor was worth every ounce of effort. I hope your guests know how lucky they are!
ReplyDeletewell done. great space.
ReplyDeleteHoley Moley what a super job by both you and your husband!! Can you all just pick up that little room and move it south to my house please?? I could just take out the kids' bath and put yours in place of it. Love it all!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job. I LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing!! Well done both of you. It looks so light and fresh. Love the pops of red and the reframed print looks really high end. Could you spare Mr. Savvy for a couple of weeks and pop him on the first plane to Ireland? I need my bathroom redoing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great job you both did! It looks fresh and your guests are definitely going to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteMary @ Orphans With Makeup
It looks wonderful, Kim. I especially love the shower curtain.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so beautiful, Kim! Your guests are going to love it. And, I'm totally jealous that you have your own handyman :)
ReplyDeleteIt turned out so pretty! I love the farmhouse vibe you gave it. Anybody that gets to use that bathroom will be a lucky guest.
ReplyDeleteI cannot name a favorite part because I LOVE IT ALL! So glad you told where you got the ruffled bath mats because I'm looking for some new ones. My SIL and I were discussing today making a trip to ATL in June.
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh--wow, just WOW. I love everything, from the basketweave floor to the brilliant makeover of the tub, to the faucet to the beautiful shower curtain to the antique sign. And the stool. You and the Mr. did an outstanding job. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it, Kim! Every single detail is perfect! It's such a transformation! High Five to Mr. Savvy on a job well done!
ReplyDeleteWow Kim, your bathroom looks fabulous! You and Mr. Savvy did an awesome job. I especially love the floor tile.
ReplyDeleteKim, your new bathroom is so charming! I love the black, red, and white color scheme-- and especially like the red ticking shower curtain (the tiny ruffles are a perfect touch).
ReplyDeleteKim this little space looks fabulous!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Kim. I knew it would be so awesome and you did not disappoint. Beautiful. Mr. Savvy is a keeper.
ReplyDeleteKris
so bright and cheerful now....looks wonderful....i bet you love it.....
ReplyDeleteThe bathroom is awesome. You managed to make it light and airy when it was dark. I love the farmhouse feel created by the bedboard and the shower curtain.
ReplyDeleteIt came out super cute! love the red and white!
ReplyDeleteLooks great Kim! I'm in love with that shower curtain:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous bathroom you have created! I love your beadboard height too. It really looks amazing. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out fab Kim! I am looking at the same style light for our master bath.
ReplyDeleteDid you paint the ceiling the same color as the walls (Revere Pewter)?
ReplyDeleteYes, I did.
DeleteThis is amazing. You really did a good job. Would you please make a post what is inside the under sink cabinets? I like to see what's inside :D :D .
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing but towels under there. Nothing exciting.
