All of my subway tile dreams came true with our bathroom renovation. The master bathroom in our house was never a selling point for me – it was small, a most ugly royal blue, and the shower made for a tiny person. My brother-in-law and his Dad gutted the bathroom to it’s bones to build us a rustic farmhouse bathroom with traditional touches.
Before our master bathroom remodel, we used a vision board for inspiration. My wish list included light, bright with rustic farmhouse decor, traditional touches, and a subway tile shower. I have to credit my brother-in-law and his Dad for building our shower by hand. They made the new shower deeper, wider, and taller than the original blue cave. There is a shaving ledge and a spot for our shower products. We love the overhead shower light as it shines so bright, making the shower stall feel even bigger.
I renovated the original 1970s sink vanity cabinet on my own and we replaced the old sink and fixtures. All of the bathroom decor has been bought over the last nine months from various stores. It took awhile for the remodeling to come together.

BEFORE/AFTER Bathroom Renovation Photos
In an ideal world, our master bathroom would be bigger. However, I cannot complain about our master bathroom renovation it was remodeled with love. My husband and I removed the wallpaper by hand. I painted every inch of the space by myself. And my in-laws spent countless hours moving light switches, installing a ceiling fan, and laying floor tiles. We are so lucky to have our family for plumbing, tiling, and electrical work.
It’s beautiful!!! Love the story behind it even more! 🙂

The new bathroom looks amazing, so light and bright! I love that you’ve got a light in the shower, I feel like it’s always so dark in there! You are also so fortunate you’ve got family who can help with that kind of work. Though I’m so confused about this trend of one tiny shelf in the shower. How does anyone fit all their stuff?? Especially if it’s a shared space!

It looks so much brighter! It’s amazing how brighter colors can make a space seem so much bigger.
Looks modern and refreshed. Mine needs an update too.

This renovation looks great and so bright too! <3 I know what you mean about shower size. At my husband's first apartment he couldn't fit in the shower or the "bathtub." ?
What an amazing transformation! It looks so much better now that it’s updated and brighter. I love the rustic farmhouse style look.
What a beautiful transformation! I love the rustic, modern-farmhouse style!
