Guest Bathroom Reveal :: 1980’s to 2013
Almost a year ago we began renovations on our guest bathroom and finally the project is complete. I’m excited to share this room with you and also excited to host overnight guests.
Our guest bathroom had been updated by the previous owner in the 1980’s with new wall tile and a new vinyl floor. Both were in good condition, but we wanted a different look, so we gutted the room and started over.
The wall mount sink was a space saver but offered no storage. The toilet work very well but was replaced with a more modern one.
The tile was in almost new condition but wasn’t the style we prefer.
We live in a 1950’s Cape Cod and the guest bathroom is located at the top of the steps on the second floor. This is what you see when you get to the top of the steps.
Come on in to see our updates.
We love the subway tile and old fashioned style floor that we selected. A larger sink with a vanity makes getting ready in this room much easier and the vanity offers much needed storage. The toilet is water saving and also powerful.
A towel bar and a hook are on the back of the door.
The shower got a new showerhead and a new faucet.
A towel bar in the shower offers a handy spot for hanging wash clothes.
A curved shower curtain rod makes this shower feel more spacious.
Mr. SP did the majority of the work on this project. My contributions were sewing the shower curtain and making the curtain and shade for the window.

I remember when you showed the various fabric swatches you were considering. You made a good decision. The framed map of Virginia has just the right colors to coordinate with the curtains. Love the valance and shade.
It turned out just perfect!! I love every update because they are timeless and classy.
Beautiful job, love the subway tile and all the updates. Ibaslonlove the pop of colors in shower curtain and curtains!
It really looks beautiful!
Looks wonderful! I have the same exact light fixture you have above the sink….only mine is about the kitchen sink. I don’t know why I never thought about putting a hook behind the bathroom door! Duh! Perfect for hanging up your robe while you shower. It looks great! Love the valance and shade fabrics.
LOVE the flooring and subway tile! Perfect choice. 🙂
Great job – love the dark grout with the white subway! I have a very similar floor in my guest bathroom – love the vintage feel!

Absolutely crazy about your tile. Can’t wait to show my hubby. This is the look I’ve been wanting for our small bathroom upstairs. Yay!
Wow, what an amazing transformation!!! Beautiful bathroom.
Thanks, Brittany! It took us many months to complete, but we had fun doing this project and it’s nice to have a pretty bathroom.
