Master Bathroom Renovation: In Progress
I never thought I’d see the day when I could successfully shower in my own master bathroom. Hallelujah — it has arrived, and it is a glorious day indeed. (After all, you can only shower at your in-laws for so many months…)
Care to see our master suite?
Do you remember our master bathroom moodboard? Let me show you precisely how we fared in getting the look:
Lookie! A driftwood mirror!
While I had no intentions of hanging a decorative driftwood mirror in our loo, I couldn’t resist adding some warmth to the area above that modern Kohler sink. After all, bathrooms can be gorgeous, too — right? And the mix of stark white, shiny chrome and warm wood is enough to make my heart sing.
At first glance, our bathroom is ready to go. But with a closer peek, you’ll see a few finishing touches that we need to conquer before giving it our seal of approval:
Take a closer peek...
See that tiny hole in the wall underneath our stool? We still haven’t trimmed out the floorboards, although they are primed and painted in the basement downstairs. Baby steps, friends. The good news is that our radiant floor heating is working like a charm and our tootsies are very cozy indeed.
Where the magic happens...
And, of course, the shower/sauna combo needs to be trimmed out. And we’re still sourcing a glass door for our DIY sauna. But you know? I think we’re making some serious progress, especially considering the state of our bathroom a few short months ago:
Can you believe this was the same wall that our beautiful sink now graces?
A vast improvement, I must say. Stay tuned for more progress in the coming weeks — we’ve got a lot to share! See you next Wednesday…
SO lovely!!! Is the sauna working yet? I bet Ken can't wait to give those tired muscles of his a little steam love!!!
ha — nope, we still need to buy a sauna heater. but soon.
That mirror is the coolest! Love your bathroom space. Looks like it is a very relaxing room

That mirror frame is way-cool.
Totally looks like a spa. Love it!
I always look forward to the wednesday renovation updates! i really like that mirror, it plays off the all-white starkness very well.
thank you so much, friends!!!
the mirror is from burke decor!
LOVE the bath. Especially the sink/faucet combo. You have such great style! I recently had a customer who had a lot of splashing with that same wall mount faucet, we solved the problem by adding a fantastic glass backsplash from the sink up around the faucet. Not that you are going to have that problem, but it's a great finished look and easy fix. I agree with Martha, really like Wednesdays!
Wow, I love it. I would never think to put the wood with the modern white the way you did and it's just LOVELY.
Erin I like what you did with your Bathroom I love white with the wood combo.
So beautiful and inspiring to see this all come together!
thank you SO much!!!
it's unbelievably marvelous piece of work
electric heated towel rails
wood and white is always so striking…….nice job, love the mirror and stool!!……………..we just finished doing our bath with a walnut countertop, white everything else and stone tiles………
am painting an old cottage house trailer all white on the inside..what a difference!!..can't wait to add driftwood accents now.. looks so much bigger..like a breath of fresh (sea) air..
.. new fixtures will come later.. just love what a little paint can do!
what is the make and model of your cook sink. I want to replace mine. It is the onky thing I can do at the moment but it alone makes a great impact. Envious!
I've added wooden assesories
to my bathroom throughout the
years. A natural wood framed
ink drawing, Mother's wood
crafted towel hanger thrift find.
A miniture wooden child's toy
sink,that I place under the wash
basin,and a wood toilet seat
purchased from a major Home
maintenance department store.
"Love wood so Zen,and your
bathroom in white,express that"
love the design! the mirror is great, but the color is heavy so I would soften the wall color.
sorry folks but that wood mirror is just awful. Looks like a huge piece of elephant turd hanging above your sink. Sorry to be so graphic, but couldn't believe someone thinks that looks good. Not to mention overwhelming size and structure of it against the white and too distracting overall. Everything else ok.
