We did not originally intend on remodeling the girls’ bathroom. Though the bath was original to this 40 year old home of ours, the tile was white and it worked. But then, the leaks came, and there was that cast iron tub that appeared to be sinking on one side. We decided if ever we were going to update the bath, the time to do it was when the back part of our house was already opened up because of construction. So we gutted it.
The smart man I’m married to, also gutted a nearby closet that was no longer needed and we were able to make the space bigger. He framed up our new bathroom (still small), and we worked hard at maximizing the space we had.
The ceiling in our kitchen was cut into in the process, and the new plumbing was installed…it was complicated. This is the difference in new construction vs remodeling. When you remodel, you are forced to get creative.
This was my inspiration picture for the bath: 
The new room is crisp, clean, and feminine. The shower is relatively spacious, and the long mirror that runs down the entire length of the room helps the space feel bigger as well. And that cabinet, oh that cabinet. I drew it up, and though my cabinet builder (whom I love) thought I was crazy, he built it anyway.
I spent a recent night with Chris Tomlin turned up loud, and my palette knife in hand, to create something to add some color into the space. I love the way you see it as double in the mirror. Two girls, for my two girls.
I’m so thankful this space is done, and the mess is gone.

Oh my Amy, this bath is absolutely gorgeous! I love the cabinet, sconces and tile but my favorite is the personalized artwork. It adds a beautiful splash of color and touch of whimsy that make this space. Once again you have created another masterpiece. This bathroom is simply divine!!
Lovely! Everything looks crisp and fresh! And I adore your painting…
Very perfect and very gorgeous!! So crisp and clean.
Very perfect and very gorgeous!! So crisp and clean. Is your countertop marble as well?
Gorgeous!!! So very pretty! We just finished our guest bath remodel, so I know first hand how very glad you are that it is done!!! What did you use to “seal” your carrara marble?
Blessings,
Cindy
Amy, your home is so beautiful. You make such lovely choices with the finishes you choose! This bathroom is no exception – timeless and gorgeous!
I absolutely love it! Thanks for sharing!
Having heard your voice on the phone, I can now hear it when I read your words…even bathroom talk! Love that! OK, my question: was it hard to decide to forgo the tub and just do a shower? I’ve thought about doing the same in my girls’ bathroom when the times comes to remodel. Just curious about your thought process on that! xo!
Wow! This bathroom is so beautiful. I love every single thing about it! I really appreciate how you create special pieces of art for your home. I’d love to learn to do that myself. Your girls will treasure them forever.
