Ahh it’s lastly time to disclose this toilet! It’s been fairly an extended highway with a lot of hiccups however our new Roman Clay Children and Visitor Rest room is DONE! I can’t wait to share it with you!
I’m completely obsessed. And sure it’s the fanciest children toilet ever however I’m an enormous advocate of designing your house to suit your fashion. Issues can nonetheless be fairly AND practical.
Earlier than we dive into all the sweetness pictures, let’s take a stroll down reminiscence lane and keep in mind the place we began.
THE BEFORES
It was outdated and gross and smelly and in determined want of an replace!
We did many of the work ourselves minus some plumbing, drywall and pocket door set up. We began demo again in early Might and simply wrapped it up now in mid July. Proof that issues don’t at all times occur in a single day round right here.
It’s the smallest room in our home and satirically appeared to take SO LONG. However that’s simply how DIY renos go. You by no means know what’s going to occur till you begin!
Now let’s get to the enjoyable stuff 🙂
I obtained hooked on roman clay once I did the hearth makeover within the child’s play room. Once I was planning out the design for this toilet, I used to be battling what to do with the partitions outdoors the bathe.
Paint? Tile? Bead board? Nothing was feeling fairly proper. After which I thought of Roman Clay and the way cool that will look. Particularly because it’s a small room and it wouldn’t be TOO a lot work.
I ordered it from Portola Paints once more and used the colour Guru. I talked to individuals who have used it in bogs they usually all mentioned it held up discover to moisture. I made certain to seal it twice with their high coat although.
I simply love the feel it provides in right here. I used to be a little bit apprehensive about utilizing a darker coloration in such a small room, however I feel it’s so good and created the right backdrop for all the opposite items.
Let’s chat in regards to the self-importance/sink space first!
We obtained the Bivens Teak Vanity from Signature {Hardware}. It’s the right trendy piece – however I wasn’t in love with the colour of the teak. So I ended up staining it utilizing Watco Danish Oil in Darkish Walnut. This coloration suits in significantly better with the remainder of our house and the look I used to be going for.
The very nice factor about this self-importance is that it comes with the countertop and sink. There are completely different choices you may select and I ended up going with Carrara marble and an oblong under-mount sink.
I paired it with the Precept Single Handle Bathroom Faucet in Matte Black. I like how easy and trendy it’s and I determine one little deal with to show the water on and off is simpler to maintain clear than two 😉
I knew I wished an arched mirror from the start and love how massive this one is. It’s undoubtedly massive and outsized however I like it!
The sunshine took me a little bit longer to resolve on. I wished to ensure my ratio of black and brass in right here felt proper and wasn’t unbalanced. So I ended up going with one thing that was brass and black ha. I’ve ordered from this Etsy shop earlier than and love their trendy fixtures.
The roundness of the globes brings some good curves into the area and the element of the arms is simply so good!
Okay transferring over to the bathroom space!
Can I simply say – I’m by no means shopping for one other sort of toilet once more. It appears foolish, however these straight sides are a GAME CHANGER. It’s SO a lot simpler to wash which I do know I’ll respect much more as soon as the children begin utilizing it an increasing number of.
I debated between cabinets and a gallery wall above the bathroom and ended up going with a gallery wall as a result of it simply appeared to suit the vibe of this area higher. There may be loads of storage within the self-importance and I most likely simply would have put fairly issues on the cabinets anyway and never something tremendous sensible.
Conserving that wall area easy and never cluttering it up appears like the fitting selection.
The nudey print I already had from Emily Ruth Design. I purchased the little vintage landscape as a downloadable print on Etsy and I’m obsessive about that ceramic vase I obtained from SAMLEEHELLO.
Shifting into the bathe!
I purchased common window curtains as a result of I wished the ground to ceiling look and couldn’t discover any lengthy ones I beloved. I ended up utilizing two panels in order that I can pull them each to 1 facet or break up them for a extra subtle look.
Utilizing some curtain rings with little hooks, I hooked up a liner that I lower in half so it can be pulled to both facet. I’ll find yourself including some magnets or velcro if I don’t like the best way it capabilities however for now it appears fairly good!
The tile we used within the bathe is the Makoto Matte Ceramic Wall Tile in Shoji White by Bedrosians. I performed round with another tile patterns however in the end selected a basic vertical stack. I just like the simplicity. And love how there’s some variation to those tiles they usually aren’t all the identical actual coloration.
I saved the fixtures the identical within the bathe utilizing the Peerless Xander Tub and Shower Trim Kit in Matte Black. Easy and ideal in opposition to the white tiles.
The bathtub we obtained is the Orchid Acrylic Alcove Tub from Signature {Hardware}. I like the flat panel on the entrance and it has a little bit ledge on the again the place I do know the children will like to put all their toys.
It triggered us a little bit of a headache getting it in and I assumed I used to be virtually going to need to return it as a result of it didn’t match. However after getting a second plumber over, we made it work.
We used marble within the bathe area of interest in addition to for the bottom trim which was my FIL’s thought and I’m so glad he advised it. I feel it simply ties all the things collectively and is without doubt one of the particulars that may get simply missed.
I’m in love with our flooring tile. I obtained numerous combined opinions about how straightforward matte black flooring tile with black grout is to maintain clear – however I went for it. Because it’s such a small area I figured even when I’ve to wash it a little bit extra typically, it’s completely value it!
It’s the Allora Floor and Wall Tile from Bedrosians and it’s simply so fairly! I like how the darkish flooring grounds this complete area and the delicate however not too busy sample provides some good visible curiosity too.
In fact I had so as to add a cutie little classic rug in right here which I discovered from ZDKilimPillow on Etsy. It’s the prefect measurement and provides a pleasant contact of coloration.
The very very last thing that we have to do is get the pocket door {hardware} put in. We’ve had a extremely laborious time discovering a locksmith who will do it due to the model I purchased and the thickness of our door. Oops.
However I feel I discovered somebody who must be coming this week!
I shared extra of the method of this door on my instagram, however I bought this Solid Wood Door, added the vertical panels utilizing MDF and painted it Tricorn Black. I additionally determined to color the trim across the door on the final minute :-p It’s coloration matched to the roman clay on the partitions.
We completed this room however wouldn’t let the kiddos use it till after I took images they usually have been dying to get in! They’re so in love with it (though Eloise remains to be dissatisfied I didn’t paint the partitions pink ha).
I’ve at all times mentioned bogs are one in all my favourite rooms to design and I nonetheless really feel that approach after doing this one. It makes me smile each time I stroll by and it’s been so enjoyable seeing the children lastly get pleasure from it too.
