ONE ROOM CHALLENGE MASTER BATHROOM REVEAL!
Can you believe that today is reveal day?! The past seven weeks have gone by in a blink of an eye and I couldn’t be more excited to share our master bathroom makeover reveal with you today! When I first contemplated joining this huge design blogging event, all I had in my head was a vision of a clean, bright master bathroom with an upscale hotel feel. Something with an old-world elegance that meets a modern vibe. A place where we could feel transported every time we crossed the threshold, where we could feel energized in the morning and relaxed at night. I knew I wanted my color palette to be grey, white and brass with a small dose of blue and white thrown in. To see that vision come to life has been so exciting, and I know you’re going to love this as much as we do!
Before I share the reveal with you, above is a little reminder of what our bathroom looked like before. It was pretty, but dated and it just didn’t have the energy in the space that we were craving. I’d like to extend a HUGE thank Linda, of Calling it Home for graciously hosting this incredible design event in partnership with House Beautiful magazine. What a fabulous opportunity for us to be able to breathe new life into this dated space. When I first heard of the One Room Challenge a few years ago, I had no idea what it was. As I dove into the blogging world and met more and more people who were participating, I knew this was a challenge I wanted to face head on! It’s quite the task to take on in such a short period of time, and if it weren’t for my amazingly talented husband, Neil, none of this would have happened. He is the 24/7/365 handyman and my partner in crime, and everything we’ve done in our home has been together. This was no easy task and we did it! If you’re joining my for the first time, welcome to CitrineLiving! I hope you enjoy your stay! This season’s ORC was extended by one week and you can have a look back at the last six weeks of the challenge that brought us to where we are today : WEEK ONE | WEEK TWO | WEEK THREE | WEEK FOUR | WEEK FIVE | WEEK SIX. Also before I begin, I want to extend a HUGE thank you to our amazing sponsors once again, for making this room become our reality : The Mine | Tonic Living | Kristen Tirney. Ok, let’s get right to it! Come on in! The after could not be more perfect…bright, airy and crisp is the feeling in our space, and that hotel vibe I mentioned, definitely fits the bill for us. All sources are linked down at the bottom of my post! Affiliate links are also provided in this post for your shopping convenience – while I make a small commission on these items, it’s no extra cost to you!
Let’s talk about the original artwork from Kristen Tirney. It truly could not be a better fit. You’ll laugh at this, but I love to stare at it while I’m showering! I actually stare at the whole space and love to take it all in! Something about these two pieces speak to me and I love the modern edge they bring to this otherwise traditionally designed room. It’s clean, elegant and makes a strong statement without being overpowering.
Our new brass faucets are like jewelry for the marble counters and I can’t get over how gorgeous they are! They bring in an element of femininity and I truly love that balance of masculine and feminine within this bathroom.
I am absolutely in love with our custom roman blind from Tonic Living. I love the modern take on a chinoiserie dragon motif and the warmer tones in the pattern. The simplicity and clean lines of the shade are exactly what I wanted, and adding a dose of color on the window brings your eye upward into the space. The quality of the custom confection is beautiful and everything I’ve ever received from Tonic Living is of equal beauty and craftsmanship. Working with them is an absolute dream and Janine and her fabulous team always get the job done on time!
You can link over to all of the incredible featured designers here and guest participants here. Once again, thank you to Linda of Calling it Home for hosting the One Room Challenge! This journey has been quite amazing and although our bathroom was not a full on reno, it is probably my favorite project that we’ve taken on to date. When you have a vision in your head and you’re able to execute it exactly as you see it, it is so very rewarding and fulling. Beautiful spaces feed your soul and this one definitely feeds ours. I truly feel blessed to be a part of this amazing event and I am so thankful to each and every one of you for taking the time and coming along on this journey with me. Beginning and starting each day in this gorgeous little retreat of ours has already brought us so much joy. There’s nothing like a room that feels good and that has positive energy – and this room certainly feels good to us. I hope you love our transformation and how we’ve brought something we’ve dreamt about to reality. xo

Wow, this is a stunner! Classic and timeless, but fresh. Just one question, why didn’t you do a frameless shower? Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy it for years to come. Happy Thanksgiving!
Your before was great, but the AFTER is just simply marvelous!!!!! Love all the changes especially the new sink console and the molding!
Beautiful bathroom. Well done. Do you mind sharing where you got the mirrors? Are they custom?
Thank you Jen! Yes these were custom cut and we added the trim around them!
Thank you so much Vel! I am thrilled that you like it all! We love it so much!
Marguerite, thank you so much, I truly appreciate it! The shower was already installed from many years ago, and there is nothing wrong with it, so we left it as is. In my dream world, it would have been frameless for sure! Thanks for stopping by, Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
Haneen you are so sweet my friend, thank you so much! I’m so happy you like all of it, I wish you could see it in person! We love it so much! Thanks for popping over to say hi! xo
Tam, I loved your bathroom before but I am obsessed with this one. And I don’t think I can pick a favorite detail! That vanity, the roman shades, that gorgeous art… you’re right- even that toilet is gorgeous (and I’m convinced none of mine are sufficient now after seeing yours haha). Your first ORC and you took this on like you had done 25 before. I hope you enjoy your new spa because you and Neil created a masterpiece!
You and your husband truly captured an elegant European hotel look in this remarkable makeover. Congratulations – may you enjoy it for many years to come.
Oh Tam! This is absolutely stunning! I’m so glad I popped on over to see every detail because it is all gorgeous! The vanity is stunning! I love the lighting on the mirrors. I love the plumbing and hardware down to the artwork and accessories. You nailed this, my friend! I know how hard you worked and I’m soooo proud of you! What a masterpiece you have created! Love it all! xoxoxo
Summer you are so awesome!! I am so thrilled that you like it, it truly means so much!! Thank you for the love and support!! xoxo
Thank you so much Merlyn! WE absolutely love this space so much, it’s even better than we could have imagined!
Kel, thank you so, so much!! You are the best, that truly means the world to me! I’m so happy we were able to do this together, I had so much fun and am so grateful for our friendship! xo
This is stunning!!! Love everything about this space. The brass is making my heart pitter patter. Did you install the lighting on the mirrors?? Was it difficult? Congrats on this beautiful space!!!
Tam – this is gorgeous! I love the tile, the flooring – the touches of blue! Congrats on a stunning reveal!
Your vanity is beautiful. How is it holding up? I am planning on purchasing but read a couple negative reviews… some stating that the materials are not of the best quality. What are your thoughts? I can’t believe I found a blog about this vanity! I would so appreciate your opinion on it. Thanks!
Hi! Thanks so much Rebecca! We love our vanity, it’s holding up really well! We are very happy with it and love all the storage too! And the marble is gorgeous! I would be very grateful if you purchased it through my affiliate link (I make a small commission at no extra cost to you!), but never any pressure, of course! Here’s a link if you choose to : https://rstyle.me/~a74zZ :)
I hope you love it as much as we do! Thanks for stopping by!
Absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you so much!! xox
