A Beautiful New Bathroom

After living in our home for nearly thirty years, my husband and I recently finished a major renovation in our ensuite bathroom.  This probably sounds odd given that this is the business we are in, but like many others, renovating our bathroom was never a top priority.  Sure, it was a thing we knew that we could do that would not only increase the value of our home, but give us daily satisfaction and enjoyment.  Still, we procrastinated until one day during our covid “home stay” we decided the time had come.

It is difficult for me to say what element of our bathroom renovation is my favorite upgrade.  I love the custom built vanity, designed exactly to my specifications (we had pedestal sinks and no storage previously).  The solid quartz countertop is so pretty, and really gives the bathroom a “spa-like” appearance.  I am also very pleased with the gorgeous “wood look” tile we chose, and the heated floor is absolutely decadent first thing in the morning!  We upgraded our shower too, with two heads and a handheld sprayer that makes both showering and cleaning so much easier.  Funny how these relatively simple upgrades can make such a difference!  Perhaps the biggest pleasure for me is the elegant free-standing bathtub, perfectly situated where I can enjoy a view through the window of my lilac bush, under dimmable LED pot lights that can be set for sumptuous “mood lighting” when I’m ready to relax in some hot water and bubbles.  Even though the original footprint of the bathroom remained has the same, all of the wonderful new fixtures and modernized elements create a room that is way beyond my expectations.

I ask myself almost daily, why we waited so long for such a wonderful bathroom.  I would encourage anyone considering a bathroom renovation to move forward with your project!  You will be delighted with the end results!
