Love it! I read your blog everyday and I think your redo is so funny — only because you always complain about doing anything your house and not being creative. I think this goes to show – you’re up here with some of the best on this site.

BRAVO on the do it yourselfiness of it all. Just call it a kickplate trend in the making and enjoy. You know, I think I would’ve stated a “tile drive” for you had you shown that before picture with “mine for four years and counting” as a caption. (My goodness girleen! It looked like Fozzie the Bear killed Chewbaca in that bathroom.)

Love your site and your daily dose of comedy. Thank you for sharing your time and talents with all of us.

I love the way you staggered the tile. A whole new look in tiled floors. And that mirror frame is genius. Such small changes to make such a HUGE impact. It looks wonderful. And I’d love some DIY cash from Home Depot.

Wowee! That is so speccy! You’ve done a terrific job. Did you remember to use grout sealer? If you did, go get some before it’s too late. It stops the grout from staining. It can be a real pain in the bum to get down and scrub. 🙂

Ooooo my bathroom in my new house is SO awful. The hot and cold water come out of two different spouts. Who does that? So you either freeze your hands or burn them off.

Becca

Beautiful! I’m dying to know if the framing on your shower was originally the dark color or if you stained it somehow. Every bathroom in my house is full of shiny gold. I’ve been following your blog for about 6 months, but maybe that was a before and after that you posted about previously.

Mia

What a difference!! Really looks great!

Roxanne Reinhart

Wow. It looks so different. Your cabinetry and mirror really stands out. And your faucets. Incredible. It is beautiful. Please enter me for the drawing as I still have those light fixtures in my bath!!! Would help to replace them!!

First, I love your new bathroom. I agree with your feelings of carpet in the bathroom. I had that once. My husband and I are building our home. We could REALLY use a Home Depot gift card. My son is coming home in a few weeks and he asked what needed to be done while he was here. I told him I would have sheet rock and beadboard waiting for him when he gets here for the downstairs bathroom. Thanks for the chance! I enjoy your blog.

Andy and Nicole Kidd

Looks TWICE as big! Could use the gift card – hubby lost his job today 🙁

A Muddled Mama

Out of curiosity, where did you want to use unsanded grout? On the floor?
Unsanded grout it a wall grout (to be used on easily scratched, high-gloss glass/porcelain/natural stone tiles). It does not have the stress to stand up to the use & abuse for a flooring application (unless of course you used a rectified grout joint and sealed it all and this would *ONLY* be advised if you were using an easily scratched natural stone for your floor).
That’s the flooring girl in me talking!

The bathroom looks great – love that you choose to cobble your floor tile… less grid-like than squaring the tiles up.

Love the light fixture, definitely a lighter & brighter feel overall!

Renea

Love the makeover. We have a large mirror in our main bathroom. Love the frame around the mirror. How did you attach it? Thanks for the giveaway.

Half of my bathroom is carpeted. Yeah, I know that’s stupid…thank the manufactured home industry for that stroke of brilliance! But our house is for sale…so if I win, I’ll save the $100 for our next home, and let the new owners degrossify this bathroom. 🙂

I can’t believe how great the mirror and light fixture look! What simple changes to make and what a difference.

Also, I can just imagine the day, way back in pre-historic times, when some man thought it would be great it his wife would spread a wooly mammoth rug in the bathroom.

I don’t know who EVER thought carpet in the bathroom would ever be a good idea!

Now I want to frame all my mirrors!!!

Kelley @ Why Leave Well Enough Alone

Oh my GOSH — that looks like a completely different room! Our master bath is carpeted, too. NASTY. How hard was it to handle the transition from carpet to tile? That (and the fact that our room isn’t square = lots of odd cutting!) has me worried. Still, can’t wait to tile ours, and if it turns out half as nice as yours, I’m happy! Good job, and enjoy!

I LOVE the way it turned out! I love the mirror frame, so I will be looking for more info on that. We have the same light fixture in our bathroom, and I can’t wait to replace it! GREAT WORK!

I could hardly believe it was the same bathroom! I kept rolling back & forth trying to compare the two! I absolutely love the file you chose.
Thanks for the opportunity for the giveaway,

looks great!! what an improvement.

Love the framed mirror! My fiance and I are purchasing a home that has a mirror similar to yours. Gonna try the frame! Carpets in bathrooms should be banned!!! blueelephant1212@yahoo.com

Emily King

The floor looks great, but I think the mirror frame has the biggest visual impact. Well done!!

From gross to lovely! Nicely done; I especially like the sand-looking tile.

The lighter colored tile really improve the feeling of size I Like the color of light grey/blue walls you chose too…What’s it called ?

annetra

It looks great! I was appalled to find out that our new home we were having built came standard with carpet in the master bath. Gross! They knew this and just wanted more money from us to upgrade to tile.

Looks great!! And I can’t believe there are bathrooms with carpet in them! Though, the house I grew up in had a carpeted bathroom AND kitchen, now that I think about it. Who DOES that?

Thanks for the opportunity to feed my addiction. 🙂

You did a superb job, I love everything about it, especially the new floor despite the boo-boo edges LOL.

Your bathroom looks great. We don’t have carpet, but are the not so proud owners of some festive mint green tile that has driven me to the verge of pulling out a sledge hammer. Thanks for the chance to make a less violent choice.

Beautiful job! I bet going from carpet to tile in the bathroom makes you feel so much better!

We just built and I understand builder’s grade loveliness. We upgraded some things, but I would love to make my bathroom prettier like you did. I love what you did with the mirror – can’t wait to hear about mirror mate! Our mirrors are just sort of there.

CJTaylor

OMG! I thought I was the only one in America with gross carpet in the bathroom. Why did builders do that? Your after is absolutely beautiful. I love the mirror, tile and new light fixture. You have given me tons of ideas on how I can update my bathrooms. Thanks for taking the time to post. cledadtaylor@yahoo,com

WoW! Can’t imagine how horrible having carpet in the bathroom was, I have it in my kitchen and I can barely stand it! The new light fixture really opened the room up, it looks huge now. Love the tiling, hope I have a bathroom that looks this nice one day 🙂

I have to ask:
(1) where did you get the planter? It is so cute!
(2) how on earth did you take pictures facing a mirror and manage not to be seen? Please share any disappearing tricks on you next post.

That said, I wouldn’t mind the gift card. 🙂

Kristin.

It really does open the room up so much!

I will never for the life of me understand carpeted bathrooms. Or those squishy toilet seats. Can’t you just feel the gross bathroom sludge oozing out when you step on it? I don’t think I would ever go barefoot in there…

Anyway, it looks GREAT now! I love the staggered tile! I had some rectangular tile picked out for our bathroom, now I need to go make sure it’s not wall tile…

Thanks for the giveaway! heidi.blackwelder@gmail.com

Simple fixes and it looks so happy now!

I love the new tile, though I have to admit I love the added trim… we had the same “uh, lets just cover the edge of the hardwood floor with more trim” conversation in the living room. Whoopsie.

Still, it is SO much more better after. 🙂

Samantha

Isn’t it amazing what new flooring can do? It looks fabulous! When we moved into our house, there was carpeting the 1/2 bath which made NO sense at all (since you walked out of the bathroom onto tile) and was pretty much the most disgusting thing ever.

SarahM

Wow! I love it! I think the mirror frame makes a huge difference! (Next to the new tile, of course)

looks great! My master bathroom is in desperate need of an update. There’s just so much to do it’s overwhelming to even think about where to start.
