Iowa Colony Master bath
Traditional "builder beige" or in this case "builder greige", new construction master bath, before. This bath had the following builder basics: vanity lighting, mirrors, paint and raised panel cabinet fronts.
While the lighting, mirror and cabinet fronts were builder grade. The counter tops, sinks, fixtures and flooring were all upgraded, before we took on the challenge of upgrading the rest of the space.
We had the vanity wall skimmed to remove the texture to allow for the install of this great black & white Peonies wallpaper on the back-splash. We added the stag head to bring a balance of hardness to softness of the wallpaper.
We added the wood and black metal framed hardware to add some more color and texture to the space.
We replaced the builder grade mirror with oversized individual mirrors, hung vertically over each sink.
For the shower we went with a 3" x 16" white subway tile and it was important to add a niche for all the shower essentials.
The ceiling height in this space is 11 feet. So, we decided to go for 8 foot doors and had them painted black. With ceiling this high the standard 6' 8" height doors would've looked a little odd. the 8 foot doors add a little drama to the space.
