RENOVATION REVEAL: Content Master Bathroom
Taking a look back, and realize I never gave you a full look at the before and after of our Master Bathroom. So, here is the entire run down including all the before and after shots, which I know you all enjoy so much!
And, UPDATE: You can now see this before + after featured on Apartment Therapy!
With a ton more square footage to work with, we created a full walk-in shower:
John wanted to create interest and detail in the master bath, and did so by joining the double windows with a decorative trim which acts as a picture frame for the claw foot as well.
Then, we chose a deep, dramatic blue paint color for the walls to highlight the freshly painted trim, exposed ceiling beams and original, oak hardwood floors.
Ready for the glamour, after shots? Enjoy!

For basic necessity, the master bathroom was the first space that needed to be tackled FAST in order for us to move into Content.
BEFORE |
Our main priorities in the master bath were to:
- open the room up
- bring back some historic, architectural interest
- and add interest and a modern touch with a bold accent.
First, we removed the existing Jacuzzi tub that was taking up nearly half the floor space.
With such a large space, we decided to construct a wall to separate and enclose the toilet. Not only did this add privacy, but allowed us to add necessary storage as a built-in.

To bring back the historic, and architectural detail that this old home deserves, we added an cast iron, claw foot tub that I found on Craigslist and refinished in a matte black. I kept the feet original because I loved the nostalgia the old paint colors invoke.
