Inspired by Layla from The Lettered Cottage, I thought I’d take you on a mini house tour of some favorite areas I created in our new (and newly repaired) home. Or is it renovated?
This is a shared bathroom for my twin boys (age 8). I wanted something that they would enjoy now, but that was also something they could grow into because I don’t think with this economy that a bathroom remodel will be in our immediate future!
At first I wasn’t sure if I liked this tile at all. Sure, its edgy, surprisingly affordable, and if anything it’s masculine…but does it look dirty? Will it just annoy me two weeks later? I wasn’t sure and time was running out. My other option, a crushed glass tile, was not in the budget at all so, I just went for it. And I think it works! Especially with the pebble.
The highlight for this bathroom is of course the shower area. I’m sure eventually they won’t do everything together, but for now they seem to like to, so we made it a communal shower. I got the idea (of a communal shower for boys) from a lady with ten kids who was on Oprah, only in her case I believe she had 3-4 shower heads in there!
The bathroom is part of a Jack and Jill set up (two bedrooms connect to a bathroom in the middle) and I liked having the vanity area separate. Since the boys already share a shower I went ahead and gave them each their own sink and ample storage space.
Disclaimer: I did not design the layout of this bathroom. A bathroom designer did. I showed her the materials I liked and approved the final design—- basically I was just the customer on this one.
