Master Bath Transformation

This was my inspiration photo for our Master Bathroom I found somewhere on line.

Ok, so this is another ridiculous "before photo." Oh well, just the countertops are missing. My smart Sister-in-law Kori suggested having the builders leave the mirrors off so that we could hang framed ones once we moved in. I also asked the builders not to put in any towel racks because I like hooks so much better and there are so many cute ones out there!

After
I was so thrilled when I told Matt of my idea to build solid-paneled shutters- he liked the idea and even agreed to build them! They turned out great. I am so pleased he is so handy!

As you can see in this photo the shutters are fully functioning and can be all the way open, half-open, or all the way closed.  To see more about my Chandelier Transformation click here.
He did a fabulous job with the trim work that goes all the way around the room as well. It was the most labor-intensive job we have yet to do. We painted the moldings and shutters "Lace Falls" from Kwal, it is a cool gray color and pretty subtle- which is what I was going for in this room. The mirrors are a splurge from pottery barn. The sconces were on sale at Restoration hardware. The sink cabinet hardware from Lowes and the tall cabinet hardware from Hobby Lobby.

  4. I am curious how are you hanging the hand towels from the hooks? I see a piece of ribbon?

    1. Yes I just cut a piece of ribbon about 5 inches long and tie the ends together. Slide the hand towel through the loop of ribbon then hang it on the hook!

  5. Would you or your husband consider posting a tutorial on how he built and installed the shutters? That would be so, so wonderful and helpful! Yours are beautiful and your bathroom looks great! Thank
