I’ve been itching to post the results of the house in Hooterville hall bathroom renovation but I was detained in Hooterville last week babysitting my daughter’s two cats and dog while she was out of town and didn’t have access to my blogging computer.
So even though Rodney, the cabinet guy who remodeled my kitchen, is still working on the storage cabinet for this bathroom, and I don’t have the chair rail molding up yet, I’m now ready to reveal the transformation…which turned out to be a pretty remarkable transformation, if I do say so myself!
Just a reminder of what we inherited when we bought the house…
a mish-mash of bad flooring
a privacy wall that made the toilet area extremely cramped
a pedestal sink that afforded ZERO storage
and
no mirror
and approximately 5 feet of wasted space to the left of the pedestal sink.
After we bought the house, I painted the peach walls white, just to freshen up the space until I could decide what I wanted to do in here.
While pondering renovation options, I was of the opinion the privacy wall should come down but there was just a hint of doubt in my mind so I asked my readers. The overwhelming consensus was YES, rip it out!
You don’t have to tell me twice! Out it came!
In fact, the whole bathroom was gutted, right down to the studs.
Below the new bathtub is in and the tile being installed.
I used bead board wallpaper on the lower part of the walls and the paint color on the upper walls ended up being a happy accident. I couldn’t decide what color I wanted to use in here and on a whim I thought I’d *try* the the same color I painted the formal living room and dining room since I had a whole gallon of it left. It’s a bluish gray called Winter in Paris (Valspar paint sold at Lowe’s). I actually like it better in this bathroom than I do in the formal living and dining room.
When you compare it to the aqua in the adjoining bedroom and the green in the hallway, you can see that it is really more gray than it appears in most of these photos.
Inspired by user Colleen_Christine on Rate My Space, I went on the hunt for a free-standing vanity similar to hers and found one identical here (although I didn’t get as good a deal as she did). I was pretty nervous about ordering it sight unseen but when it arrived, I was 100 percent pleased. It’s a solid, sturdy piece and it made the trip from New Jersey to Florida without getting so much as a nick or scratch on it.
With a little paint, new hardware (instead of the wood knobs it came with), and a top made from the same LG Hi-Mac solid surface I selected for the kitchen (fabricated by my amazing cabinet guy, Rodney), and ta da…
WOWSERS! Ain’t she purdy????
(For my readers who voted on the other style vanity, I’ve decided to use something similar to it when I renovate the 3rd bathroom in the house within the next few months.)
As I mentioned, my cabinet guy is building a storage cabinet for that far corner. It will be 24 inches wide, go all the way to the ceiling to look like a built-in and it will be finished off at the top with crown molding.
**Update: the built-in storage cabinet can be seen here.
I love the flooring! Believe it or not, it’s vinyl planks from Home Depot. This was one of the special order colors but it only took about 7 to 10 days to come in. Oh how I wish I had used this product instead of the wood laminate I selected for some of the other rooms in the house!
I’m still keeping my eye out for some little something to add a pop of color in here, and as soon as my cabinet guy gets the storage cabinet installed, I’ll update with photos of it but in the meantime, I’m totally loving my new bathroom.
Hmmm….I think the cat is liking it too!

That vanity is awesome!!!!
The colors, the flooring... All of it. Just Lovely!!
It has been fun to watch & now I am going to go look for that flooring...
Thanks for the inspiration
This is amazing and so beautiful. When you get the cabinet done and the chair rail on top of the bead board, be sure to post again so we can see the final result!
That is a fantastic renovation - such an inspiration. I would have hesitated about removing the privacy wall too, but it was absolutely the right thing to do. I love the beadboard and blue paint, but most of all I love your vanity.
such a beautiful job...what an amazing difference! love your kitty laying on the towel, they always find the best spots to sleep ;)
Love, love that vanity! It is beyond gorgous!!! Your bathroom is becoming a picture. Can't wait to see the end results. The cat pic cracked me up. I have three furry babies, too. That's exactly something they would do. TFS - Blessings, Barb

OMG!!! I LOVE it--the floor looks so great! was it easy to install? Want that vanity for my bathroom!
WooHoo!!! That is one gorgeous bathroom now! I love the vanity that you chose, it is truly beautiful!
Hugs, Cindy
It looks really nice. I moved into my house a year ago and I am still trying to decide what to do with the rooms I have issues with. The house came with epoxy coated cement floors :( so I am looking into flooring. I can't decide if I want tile or solid wood. My kitchen is nice and big and pretty well laid out but they (previous owners)chose cheap cabinets that have to be replaced. I have navy blue carpet in the family room that has to GO! But I can't decide if I want tile or carpet. Too many decisions for a girl who can't decorate to save my life! I envy your ability to decide and have beautiful results.
Oh Shari! I can see why you were excited! The end result is fabulous! Love the free standing pedestal! Simply gorgeous! Love it!
Kathy
