Hello friends!!!
It’s a beautiful day for a farmhouse style bathroom reveal, don’t ya think?
Six very short weeks ago we signed on to take part in the One Room Challenge, pledging to makeover one room in our home in just, you guessed it, six weeks.
Now, this wasn’t our first rodeo my friends – we’ve actually been down this road a couple of times already creating this rustic, cabin themed bedroom for our not-so-little guy the first time around. And then this lovely farmhouse master bedroom space last Fall.
So, we knew exactly what we were getting ourselves into when we signed on this time around. We knew it would mean six long weeks of nothing but chaos, to-do lists and never ending work. We knew it would be six long weeks of quick dinners, late bedtimes and absolute exhaustion.
We knew.
And still, not only did we decide to jump on board a third time, but we had the brilliant idea to take on our main bathroom (can you hear the sarcasm coming through?).
I swear, I spent each and every day of this challenge wondering what the heck we were thinking.
This was a room that needed a total gut job…
Walls, floors – everything needed to be ripped out, right down to the studs. Electrical, plumbing, sub floors, framing, water-proofing – we certainly had our work cut out for us.
The first couple of weeks, I shared the embarrassing before pictures and what I hoped to do with the space, but I had little to share in terms of progress. Even though Brady was working on things with every spare minute he had (you know, outside of working all day long at his real job), it was all under the floor or behind the walls.
Then, three weeks in, it was finally time to start laying all. the. tile. A job we’d never really done before and, I’ll tell ya, it was definitely slow going.
Week four was, you guessed it, more tiling. I was beginning to think we were never going to see the end of it. Thank goodness for our brothers who both donated a whole day to help us get back on track with things.
By week five, we’d managed to get the walls planked and painted, but still had SO far to go. Grouting all. the. tile. Building our vanity. And of course, installing pretty much every single thing.
Honestly, it felt like we’d never be able to pull this thing off more days than it didn’t.
It was incredibly discouraging to work so hard at something and feel like it still wasn’t enough.
But then, somehow, it all just came together.
Okay, definitely not somehow – my amazing husband was right (just this once!) – all that hard work at the beginning that nobody would ever see really did make for such quick and easy installs that the entire room was transformed back into a bathroom within just a few days.
Seriously, it felt like a miracle seeing it all come together as seamlessly as it did. And, with a few days to spare! I couldn’t believe it!
The best part? I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! (Thank goodness!)
This One Room Challenge may have only been six weeks long, but my friends, I’ve been waiting ages for this gorgeous farmhouse style bathroom …
There wasn’t an inch of this space that wasn’t changed (did you see the before photos?!).
Ever since planking our ceilings in the hallway and master bedroom, I’ve been dying to try a few walls around the house too. This bathroom was my chance to really add some farmhouse charm with that shiplap look I love so much. I think it looks incredible all painted up in Alabaster from Sherwin-Williams!
I absolutely love the creamy marble tile on our floors almost as much as the hex floor tile in the shower…
And that gorgeous arabesque wall tile still has me swooning!
Now, you might have noticed the glass missing around that shower – well, long story short, six weeks just wasn’t enough time to get that bit in place, but I promise to share an update when we do get it installed.
It’s hard to pick a favourite part, but the gorgeous fixtures from Delta Canada are definitely up there! From the gooseneck style shower head, to that ahhhhhmazing tub filler and of course, the pretty sink faucets, they really do play such a huge part in bringing in that vintage farmhouse look I was going for. Plus, the quality is incredible!
And of course, this tub.
Seriously, it’s everything I dreamed it would be. And then some.
I cannot wait to soak in my first bubble bath (which I plan to do just as soon as I’m done writing up this post)!
And I can’t help but point out that vanity…
We actually made it ourselves from an old buffet table that I’ve always kind of hated. I cannot believe how amazing it looks after a quick coat of paint and some lovely glass knobs.
Tell me those beautiful sinks from American Standard Canada don’t look like they were made to sit on top of it all!
I painted up two simple mirrors to match the vanity.
And then mounted these gorgeous barn lights from Barn Light Electric around them.
I’m head-over-heels in love with that galvanized metal finish (ps. they match our hallway lights perfectly)!
And of course, what bathroom would be complete without a toilet? I love that this one from The Home Depot Canada has a concealed trapway and a seat that completely lifts off for easy cleaning (seriously, who knew they could do that?).
These shelves that Brady built are absolutely incredible! He used some leftover pieces from the vanity to make them and they couldn’t possibly have turned out more perfectly!
A few matching accessories like this towel ring, tissue holder and some robe (or towel) hooks and the space is not only pretty, but perfectly functional for our family.
I was SO excited to have the chance to hang this rusty gate I made…
And this antique printer’s tray from my new fave shop, Vintage Farmhouse Finds brings another beautiful touch of wood to the space.
Honestly, I never would have thought it was possible to love a bathroom THIS much.
Turns out it was totally worth all those late nights … thank goodness!
I cannot believe how far we’ve come in just six short weeks…

Kristi this is such a beautiful bathroom! The vanity is stunning and those planked walls are exactly what I want in my bathroom! Love the tile and the wood floors too! The before and after comparisons just go to show how much you’ve transformed this space! Bravo on another beautiful ORC my friend! XOXO, Sarah
Thank you so, so much sweet friend! I couldn’t be happier with how it all came together! What a crazy ride, but as always, so worth it! Congrats on making it through (again) too Sarah! You’re living room is absolutely stunning!!!
This is a stunning Reno! Wish I’d kept my old buffet too! Just wondering – it looks like the white tile is a different shade than the walls. Was this intentional or did you feel it didn’t matter to match paint to tile? Also wondering how easy it will be to keep the paneling clean. Did you use flat or enamel? Thanks!
Thank you so, so much!!! We couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out! The paint is definitely a warmer white than the tile, but with the tub and sinks being that stark white, I thought it would be a good way to warm up the space a bit. We painted the panelling in a satin finish to ensure it’s easy to clean. Hope this helps!
This is seriously gorgeous my friend!! Oh my word – I don’t even have words! I love every single feature. Just stunning!
Awwwww, well thank you Lindi! We did it girl! And now we can all relax and enjoy!!! xo
Wow Kristi GORGEOUS! I can’t even believe the before. I have to say, I think this is my favorite room you have ever done and that’s hard to say, because I love everything you create. Really beautiful, pinning for the day I get to my master bath! Enjoy friend!
You are just the sweetest Deb! I’m so happy you love it! Thank you so, so much!!!
