Some updates were long overdue in this bathroom. These included: everything. When a fresh roll of toilet paper is the best thing a bathroom has going for it … well, it’s time for a change.
So au revoir vintage toilet! Adios outdated wallpaper! Sayonara shrimpy shower, bye-bye broke down vanity!
And helloooo miles of tile, gorgeous new cabinets and counters, and a spacious new shower. I love the herringbone wood-look tile on the floor, but my favorite part is how much bigger the whole room looks with the clear shower doors and knocking that right wall open. It’s only about a foot wider now, but it makes such a big impact!
Fabulous job from Better After reader Missy, you may also remember her cat-infested kitchen makeover!

January 27, 2015 at 12:31 PMI love this! BUT…. I think the toilet paper is too far from the toilet…. unless these people have really long arms. In that case… that’s cool..

January 27, 2015 at 3:10 PMBeautiful! I love how the warm floor colors (wood ceramic tile??) plays off the cool grey. I couldn’t find a link to her blog/website… I’d love to know what products she used. (p.s. Lisa, I cracked up at your comment. When I showed the photo to my husband he said, “Finally! Someone who put the toilet paper in the right place,” and I’m like, “No, it’s too far away. How the heck do you reach it?” SO funny to then read your comment.

January 27, 2015 at 4:24 PMThat is one gorgeous bathroom! And it really does look so much bigger in the after photo! I’ll bet its way more comfortable as well! And double shower heads! That’s what we want when we get a new place.

March 14, 2016 at 5:05 AMSeriously….TP holder on the wall opposite the toilet? I mean, do they have to stand up to go get some? Even allowing for what the toilet takes up in space, that’s like a 3ft lunge! That bathroom is small, but it’s gotta be at least 5ft wide. I would’ve screwed the TP holder into the side of the vanity. Just sayin’.
It’s also funny how what goes around comes around in décor trends. That square sink is so late 1950s. The bathroom at my grandparents’ house had one of those (in baby blue, no less, with matching tub and toilet) for literally decades….that stuff was indestructible!
