KIDS' JACK AND JILL BATHROOM REVEAL

Well if one thing is clear from our Kids' Jack and Jill Bathroom Makeover, it's that I need a deadline to finish a project in a timely manner- ha!  We started this project in early September and here we are nearly 6 months later and I hung the last picture, hung the cornice, and finished a few little last details yesterday.  I'm happy to report though that it's 100% finished... no pesky last 5-10% of the little insignificant details in a project left to do like I normally have at the end of a big room makeover.

Since we've all slept quite a few times since then, here's a little reminder of the progress of the makeover.  Go back and refresh your memory if you need to!

Week 5 Update

Here's where we started... we did a little overhaul when we bought the house 13 years ago- stripped wallpaper, painted, replaced light fixtures and faucets, and replaced the fully carpeted floor with tile.  But after 12 years that was getting dark and dated- and very brown- and it was time for a change.  

So here it is now!  Light and bright and fresh! (All sources and paint colors are listed at the end of the post.)

I really wanted to stick with classic, traditional finishes on the big pieces of the room that aren't easily changed like the tile and countertops.  But of course I had to get some bold color in there too!  For years I've had a cobalt vanity and black and white floors in mind for this room, and I'm so, so happy with how it turned out.  

We hired out the tile, plumbing, and countertop install, but we did everything else ourselves.  

The little tray under the soap is actually the bottom piece of the soap dish I used in the shower, will talk more about that below.

All of the gorgeous hardware was provided by D Lawless Hardware and you know what?  It wasn't expensive but looks like a million bucks!  The knobs are heavy and substantial and I love the simplicity of the pulls with just a little bit of detail.  We also replaced all of the cabinet hinges with beautiful new brass ones. 

We also replaced the door hinges that had previously been painted over with new brass ones.  That made a huge difference and now the doors look brand new!  

The new countertops are 3cm True White Quartz.  I wanted a crisp, clean white that wasn't gray at all and didn't have any pattern in it, and this is it!  We've been so pleased with it.  

I selected the square sinks at the same time I chose the countertops and HOM Kitchen and Bath did a fabulous job installing everything seamlessly.  

If you followed along in the process you know I had a hard time deciding if I wanted to do a solid white hex tile floor or black and white.  I followed my heart and went with the black and white and am so happy with it!  It will be so classic for many years to come.  (Highly recommend the guy I used for all of the tile if you're local to OKC, email me for his contact info!)  It was challenging to find a rug with the right colors and that was the right size for the space, but this one is definitely a winner!  Soft and affordable, too. 

I really struggled with the artwork for this room.  I only needed two little things to hang over the towel rings, but nothing was inspiring me.  Then, I shared a book with you that was full of one of my favorite series of photographs, and the pages were the perfect mix of whimsy and color for the room.  And, they fit an 8x10 frame perfectly!  I painted the frames the same color as the vanity.

I've been holding on to the vintage towel rings for years, knowing I would one day use them in this bathroom, and a bold color instantly made them even cuter!

All of the doors and trim got fresh coats of super white semi-gloss paint.  It's amazing how "yellow" the old woodwork that I thought was white really was once I started painting on the new color.  The pink door faces my daughter's room when closed and matches her adjoining closet door. 

I randomly came across the light fixtures and love the modern element they add to the room, and bonus... they were super affordable! 

Alright, I think that covers every nook and cranny of the sink vanity room, let's take a look at the new shower!  We replaced the old 4x4 white square tile with oversized white subway tile, taking it all the way to the ceiling.  We kept the original tub which was perfectly fine in order to save some money.  

A built in niche nicely holds all of the products.  I made sure it was tall enough to accommodate even the large sized shampoo pump bottles.  The smaller section underneath is for soap and razors.  I used a soap dish to keep the tile a bit cleaner, and searched high and low for an attractive one that had a vented bottom so the soap wouldn't sit in a puddle of water.  I just used that slotted  portion in the niche for the soap, so I used the bottom tray by the sinks shown above.  We also chose to use a metal edge Schluter trim rather than bullnose tile, I talked more about that in this post.

We were originally going to keep the toilet we had, but it was a standard size round bowl, kinda tiny.  At the last minute we decided to replace it with a new chair height elongated bowl.  I think my 6'2" son appreciates that!

Don't you think these new slip on tp holders rather than the old spring-rod-in-the-middle are the best things ever?  It's the little things!  ;)

But mostly, the shower curtain and cornice is the star of the show in here!  There's an extra long liner hanging behind the fabric curtain, but on a separate rod.  There are actually two separate panels of fabric there, so I can scoot them all the one side or divide them and have a panel on each end framing the shower.  The cornice covers those rods and frames in the shower, it really was a dramatic finishing touch once we got that hung.  I'll be sharing a tutorial of how I made and hung that next week.  *Update- see shower cornice tutorial here!

So that's it!  I think this bathroom will have a long life ahead of it and we'll enjoy it for years to come!
