Before and After Bathroom Remodel With Lowes

Before and After Bathroom Remodel With Lowes

June 30, 2016

Ever since we embarked on this house flipping journey in September of 2015, starting with our kitchen (see transformation here) we have experienced things we never knew we would; some good, some bad and along the way we have learned more about each other and our own strengths and weaknesses.

When we began this bathroom remodel we knew we were in for a LOT of work (see the "before" pictures here). I mean anything that is covered in mauve colored anything requires a complete makeover, am I right? This whole process has stretched us and challenged us to really think outside the box but with the help from Lowe's Home Improvement we were able to make this renovation worth our while.

This bathroom, although hideous, is a rather large space. So I knew that when designing this space I wanted to make it as open and functional as possible. I wanted this to be a place that I enjoyed getting ready in and could come to to relax.

Since this is considered the "master suit" of the house I wanted to bring in another vanity to make this more of a "his & her" bathroom, I've also always dreamed of having a claw-foot tub so I knew that was something I wanted to accommodate for, for the shower, I love the way subway tile looked in our kitchen so I wanted to incorporate that in this space as well, and as for the walls well...I just needed to have one room in my house full of shiplap.

I'll let these before and after pictures speak for themselves.

Walking into this space “before” was very crammed and dysfunctional. The properties of it didn’t flow, and it didn’t allow for two people to comfortably move around its space. Taking out the whirlpool tub not only opened up the space but it gave us more functional floorspace to work with while allowing us the opportunity to put another vanity in and still keep a tub in its place.

By “downsizing” the tub we were able to create so much free space, giving way to a whole new kind of flow; allowing two people to co-exist separately without being on top of each other while still using the space together.

When it was time to decide what we wanted for our shower, I wanted to give it the illusion that it was much bigger than it actually is, while also making this space sort of the focal point of the room. Since the space is small to begin with (36” x 36”), laying white subway tile, contrasted with the dark gray grout, and adding the sheer glass shower door not only brightens and widens the entire lay out, but it allows this space to be apart of the rest of bathroom.

Adding a claw-foot tub not only sets this bathroom completely apart to its former counterpart but it gives it an entirely new vibe; exuding elegance and relaxation.

This built-in cabinet has been a great source of storage so we knew that we wanted to keep that intact but wanted to give it a fresh face-lift without spending too much money or effort. Removing the doors and giving it a fresh coat of paint was just the trick to making this old piece of cabinetry stand out.

Well it looks like it’s time folks! 🤗 my buns may be flapping in the wind with this super trendy gown but we are so incredibly excited to meet our baby boy! Prayers appreciated!!! 🙏🏼 Sometimes it’s in the simple pieces that become your favorite part of a room! I can’t wait to share where I got so many of these nursery gems! I’ll be linking them all in my blogpost on Monday!
⠀⠀
•
⠀⠀
Ps. I did get a number of brand partnerships with this room makeover...however there is a lot that I bought on my own! Like A LOT! I want to be candid with you all and make that known beforehand while also making you aware of major ways I’ve saved for this project! You don’t have to spend a ton of 💰 to get the look you want, you just have to know where to look 👀 Today marks 38 weeks and I really can’t even believe that we made it this far! This is the longest I’ve kept any of my babies in and I am so extremely thankful for the extra time he’s had to “cook.” As anxious as I am to meet him, I am equally at peace with God’s timing in all of this and know that His hand is at work: guiding and protecting this little life. ⠀⠀
•
⠀⠀
So to all of you that have stayed up to date with our journey and continued praying over our sweet boy....THANK YOU! I truly believe because of all your prayers spoken in unison my hearts cry has been heard. I am beyond thankful for all of you! ❤️
⠀⠀
•
⠀⠀
#38weeks #preggers #maternity #pregnant #expecting #babyboy #maternityfashion I asked and you answered! Baby boys nursery reveal will be this upcoming Monday! At least I hope I can get it ready for you by then! 🤪 I can’t wait for you to see this space, it’s quickly become one of my favorite corners of our home simply for its lack of chaos! ⠀⠀
•
⠀⠀
Also, I love sharing shops with you that not only inspire beauty but resonate with me personally. Rebekah of @mercy.threads is a mother to 3 and makes these beautiful handmade bonnets, as well as booties! And all in different earthy tones! Go check out her shop and give her a follow, her next drop of new inventory is tomorrow! You don’t want to miss out! Can’t wait to see our little buddy in this! 😍 •

#nurseryinspo #babyboy #pregnant #nurserydecor #nursery Happy Valentines Day my love ❤️ as much as we don’t celebrate this day with extravagant gifts and sentiments (because who needs just one day for that? 😘) I did want to say...right now more than ever...I’m so thankful to do life alongside you. You listen to my heart and hear my dreams, taking them on as your own; tending to them and nurturing them. You put all selfish desires aside for the sake of your family constantly and challenge me to do the same. Men, take note of this for the sake of a healthy marriage. 🙌🏼 I am beyond blessed by the lavishing love of this man and know that every women out there deserves the same. ⠀⠀
•
⠀⠀
I love you beyond the stars @guykirby_ and can’t wait for this next trip around the sun. ❤️❤️❤️ •

Photo cred: @alisanicholle I know I’ve been downloading everything baby onto my feed these past few days but I can’t help it! Getting all the little things done and ready, including the nursery. It’s finally FINISHED you guys! 😭🙌🏼😩 I seriously can’t even believe it! Here is another sneak peek to try to entice you to come back once the whole reveal goes live 🤷🏻‍♀️ ⠀⠀
•
⠀⠀
So the question becomes...what day would you all like to see this blog post go live? This Friday (the15th), next Monday (the 18th) OR Wednesday (the 20th)? Put your vote down below! •

#nursery #nurserydecor #babyboy #pregnant #nurseryinspo As we await the arrival of baby boy #4 I’ve heard over and over again from acquaintances, friends, and family how anxious they’ve been anticipating an announcement. Every time I hear another person remark on how they are on pins and needles for me, I laugh and think to myself...this is one LOVED baby. ⠀⠀
•
⠀⠀
But in all honesty, I’ve recently found myself (as we’ve experienced a few very “close calls”) noticing a bit of my own anxiety as the anticipation grows. Today during a bit of quiet time I thought a little bit more about that anxiety and tried to seek out the root. ⠀⠀
•
⠀⠀
In that moment, the Father brought to light my last delivery and the real lasting effects of fear that whole process left on my heart. Then I heard the Father say, “The fear that steals joy is not the result of me. The fear that steals life is not the result of me.” And in that second I knew the anxiety I was feeling was a direct result of the fear from my past and the experiences that happened there. Are we to live in the past and let those experiences define who we are today? ABSOLUTELY NOT! There is NO fear in Gods love and the abundance of joy that He has for mothers delivering new life is perfect, blameless, and WITHOUT fear. ⠀⠀
•
⠀⠀
So with that newness in mind, I feel stronger and more ready than ever to meet this little one; to gaze at his face for the first time and drink in that wonderful newborn smell that I love so much. Because I know that even pain is worth the life that comes from it. •

Waffle knit shirt and denim jacket: @firaboutique My mom just got into town this afternoon to be here for the birth of baby #4 and man do I love having her here. Not only does she make having babies even MORE special than it already is, but she loves on my other littles in the most pure and beautiful ways. I am just so incredibly thankful to have her close! •

Sooo now that your here @heysuuz COME ON baby boy!!! 💙 There is just something about having milk and cookies with you best sibling pals isn’t there? I love watching the friendship between the three of them grow and flourish. I can’t wait to add one more to the mix just to spice things up 🤪 HAPPY SATURDAY FRIENDS! The nursery space is ALMOST complete!!! We have a couple more “little touches” to add here and there but we are officially ready! I mean...not that he’s gonna he sleeping here for a while anyways 😂 but we are MENTALLY prepared at least! More details to come with this space but here are a few fun details to inspire...
