Vacation Home Bathroom Remodel

June 30, 2018 by crystelmont Leave a Comment

Ya’ll. I am SO EXCITED to show you the new project I’m working on! My sister recently just purchased a cute little cottage that’s a little over 80 years old nestled in a small town a little ways outside of Zion National Park and has plans to turn it into a vacation rental. Me, being the project-hoarder that I am decided to invite myself over and take over the bathroom remodel, to which my sister happily obliged! I want to show you the before pictures, because this bathroom/laundry room seriously has so. much. potential.

Okay, so let’s talk about that little cupboard. First of all, whoever decided to put the toilet that close to it was clearly not thinking things through. I did try to open it but it only opens up about 6 inches. But you know what? It’s okay, because who needs a door cover over shelving in an abstract location anyway? That cupboard door will go. The plans here are to remove the cupboard door, remove one of the lower shelves because they’re too close together, and paint the shelving white. The wall to the left we will be installing beadboard about 4 feet up and trimming out the top. For the wall color I am thinking some sort of green, maybe a sage color? I will also be painting the tile floors (I have always wanted to do that!)

This here is the other side of the bathroom. These washer and dryers belong to the previous owners so we will be replacing them with front loaders that match, installing a shelf over the top of it, and re-doing the shelving above that. Probably floating shelves with a piece of trim along the front to make them thicker. We will also install beadboard on the whole back wall. 

Okay, so I’ll be honest, while I like the look of pedestal sinks the practical side of me has a real problem with them. If I’m going to live in a place, I want somewhere to put my stuff! Thankfully since this is a vacation rental no one will be living there permanently, so the medicine cupboard above will just have to do. That tile behind the sink is going to go, though. We will be replacing it with beadboard and trim, again, 4 feet up. I have a brilliant idea for that medicine cupboard and lighting that I think will make a huge difference, and I’m excited to try it out! Stay tuned for that 🙂

This photo just doesn’t do the shower justice. #thatcaulkthough . It’s pretty gross. And by pretty gross I mean downright nasty. The caulking along all the seams is moldy and mildew-y and missing in some areas. the grout seems to be in good shape but there are quite a few locations where there is grout where there should be caulk. This is going to take some serious scrubbing, and then I’m gonna paint the thing!

Overall I’m going for a more cottage-y look. Here’s some inspo pics for ya.

This is what I’m thinking for the floors. I love that color! 

I think I want a green similar to this, but not quite so dark. And the beadboard will go up quite a bit higher, but you get the idea. Let the games begin!

XOXO,

Day 10 of 10 days of projects. The greatest of al Day 10 of 10 days of projects.  The greatest of all of my accomplishments in life has been to bring 3 beautiful girls into this world.  My children are my life’s work, and truly my life’s purpose, and I am trying to do everything I know to raise them up to be happy, strong, capable daughters of God who will go forward and shine their light on a quickly darkening world.  Charlotte’s cancer journey has brought about some incredible miracles. 90% of the growth on my Instagram account happened merely months before her diagnosis thanks in large part to my friends @honeybuilthome and @jordanpage . Looking back I now see that it was all orchestrated by a loving God that knew her story needed to be shared, her light needed to shine, and that she needed to be the proof and witness that miracles happen and that God loves us and knows us perfectly.  We received good news at our last visit that the remaining cancer in her right eye had shrunk in half from the laser and freezing treatments given to her two weeks prior. The doctor determined that she did not need chemotherapy, and that we would confirm in the next appointment that the seeding in her right eye was dead.  So for now, from what we can tell, there is a tiny bit of active cancer in her right eye that the doctor treated, and if it continues to respond the way it has been to the freezing that we may be looking at one or two more visits before the cancer is eradicated completely.  We could not be more thrilled and relieved that she has been responding so well. We are so so thankful a thousand times over for all of your prayers that have carried us through this. Thank you for being here, thank you for your prayers, and thank you for your incredible generosity.  You have truly made this space a place of refuge for us. I wish I could hug every one of you.
How’s that for a $26 faux tree?? I am LOVING how How’s that for a $26 faux tree?? I am LOVING how this turned out, although now I’m thinking that if I did this again I’d like to go taller! And I could totally add more stems if I want to at any time. Really though, the sky is the limit! You could theoretically do this with any stems you can get your hands on!  It was so much fun doing this dupe today with my friends

Okay, so I know the differences may not be super o Okay, so I know the differences may not be super obvious in these photos, but I need your opinion on which window style I should go with! With crown or without?  Vote in the comments!  It has taken me a minute to get to this point, but I honestly can’t decide which I like better!  And... I am SO excited about that box molding. I can’t wait til I can do my other walls!!  #molding #windowtreatments #windowtrim #baywindow
Thinking back, 2020 seemed to be a super eventful Thinking back, 2020 seemed to be a super eventful year for the world and country but a super uneventful year for the individual because of the shutdown.  Stuart and I have prioritized making a photo book every year as a way to record our family history for our children and grandchildren, and putting together this year’s book from @mixbook has made us realize just how many exciting things we were able to do and be a part of. #ad  Our girls LOVE looking through these books and remembering all the fun things we did and it makes my momma heart smile to see them laughing at all the silliness of daily life we captured. We could not believe how much easier @mixbook made the entire process!  Use my code CRYSTEL50 to get 50% off your first book!”  #mixbook
Behold, the power of PAINT! I am absolutely in lov Behold, the power of PAINT! I am absolutely in love with how this fireplace has transformed. And to be quite honest, I designed it all around this beautiful faux Olive tree from @nearlynaturalfloral ! #ad True story, my father-in-law walked in yesterday and asked if I needed to water it. It looks SO real and I am so happy with it! Nearly Naturals is very aptly named, just sayin’.
