Hunt & Host Home Tour: Boy’s Bathroom
My boy’s bathroom. Usually a boy bathroom is not much to speak of. Let’s face it, young boys can be a mess. Mine are no exception, but I love their bathroom so much that I can walk through it and not get bothered by the towels on the floor and the missed toilet now and then.
This bathroom was at one time, long ago, the master bath. Therefore it is larger than most secondary bathrooms you would find in a 1951 ranch. One of the things that had me drooling when we originally walked through the house was the sink and bathtub in this bathroom. They were filthy dirty, but original to the house and so unique. I also adored the slanted built in cabinets that are in both of the kid’s bathrooms.
Once demo started we removed THREE layers if floral wallpaper. And a rat’s nest. Just being honest. The house was rough.
I wanted the tile and décor to be classic, up to date and not to trendy.
This sweet built in vanity spot would be so nice to do hair and makeup in. Since this bathroom sits nestled between my two boy’s bedrooms, I don’t think that will ever happen.
I used the same Carrara Marble in this bathroom as I did in the kitchen.
All the art work in the bathroom is DIY and the light fixtures were inexpensive finds. More about the wall art below here.
Overall it turned out light, bright and better than I could have imagined when we first walked through this mess of house!
Let me know what you think! Anything you’d change? You can tour the rest of our home here.
I love it. Especially the art behind the toilet. And wasn’t it nice of the other owners to put so much wallpaper on the walls? Generosity 🙂
Yes – we had lots of help in the decorating dept 😉 thanks Nina!
What a cool bathroom. At first I didn’t get your tile selection but then seeing it come all together…it looks perfect! Very cool. Once again, love your decor and how refreshing it is. 🙂
Can you just come to my house and make everything pretty?
🙂 that would be so fun…even though you don’t need help!
I love it! My favorite touch is the orange bicycle wheel! I’ve had this pinned for a while and I’m happy to report that you’ve inspired me to hang a wheel on my gallery wall. I’m even thinking about spray painting it red!
Yay! I love that this inspired you – isn’t a bike wheel such an inexpensive, fun way to add flair to a room!? Thanks for sharing!
Such a lovely remodel. Love how you did not replace EVERYTHING! Great job!
Thanks so much, there was to much good old stuff to get rid of it all!!!
What color paint did you use in your bathrooms. We have a Jack n Jill bath with the tub and shower with no windows. I’m looking for a color for the part of the bathroom to lighten it up.
All the white color in my house is Pearly White by Sherwin Williams, it is a great soft color, not too stark, not to yellow or gray, it sort of just blends with whatever you pair it with. Hope this helps!
oops – unless you are referring to my master bathroom, that is Kiliim Beige, also by Sherwin Williams, but a way more cream color, it is pretty too, but not as universal!
Wow, great job! Love the creative artwork!
thank you so much
