I’ve been focusing a lot lately on the unfinished areas of our master bedroom suite, but let’s not forget that this suite also includes a bathroom that I finished over two years ago! Since I spent time this past weekend cleaning the shower, and our bathroom was looking all nice and put together, I decided to do a video tour of the room for my YouTube channel.
You can see that video here:
I know some of you don’t like videos, so I took pictures of what the bathroom looks like now, a little over two years after I finished it. These pictures provide a pretty full view of all of the areas of the bathroom.
All of the finishes in this bathroom have held up phenomenally well over the last two years. I wasn’t so sure at the time how well the Venetian plaster walls would handle the humidity of a bathroom, but they look the same today.
All of the wood finishes have also held up incredibly well. It helps that they’ve all been protected with an oiled finish, so they’re impervious to water and humidity.
I’ve also been very pleased with the quartz countertops that I chose. I don’t see any stains on either of them after two years of use.
And while I don’t use the bathtub as often as I’d like, I do use it. The wallpaper mural behind the bathtub has gotten splashed with water several times, and it’s also right there by the shower, and yet there is no evidence that the water or humidity has affected it at all. a
I don’t know why the gray in the floor shows up so strongly in the photos. In person, the gray is very subtle. I promise, I don’t have striped floors in the room. 😀
I was also concerned about how it would work out for us having a glass-front storage cabinet that has to look nice. But it has worked out very well. I store things that I don’t want front-and-center in the baskets to keep them hidden.
I do hate having a toilet with a round bowl, though. That’s one of the decisions I regret, and I will probably swap it out at some point in the future for an elongated bowl.
Everything in this room has worked out just as I had hoped for Matt. He can access everything he needs in here (with my help because he needs my help for everything), so it has been great having everything a bathroom that really works for him.
So here are a few more pictures from the other direction…
I can’t wait for the day that I can leave that pocket door open and see our beautiful bedroom through that door!
The floor in the pictures from this direction look a lot more true to reality with the more subtle gray.
My biggest regret is not noticing that low spot in the shower floor before I tiled it. But that’s a minor inconvenience that I can deal with easily.
Other than that annoying low spot that catches and holds water, this shower has been amazing.
So two years later, we’re still really loving our bathroom. It was well worth the money that we spent on it.
