The day is finally here! Your going to be shocked at the transformation of this modern farmhouse bathroom reveal! This renovation has all of the modern farmhouse elements- classic white subway tile, glass accessories with modern satin nickel hardware, warm wood tones, tile flooring and vintage shiplap ceiling. Come see how we transformed this room!
{Full sources available at the bottom of the page for your convenience.}
I still remember the first time we walked into this house. We knew the house had “good bones” and the layout, front porch and land is what drew us here. We knew from our Realtor that most people were passing on this house because the master bathroom was not updated. My husband and I have been diy’ers for twenty plus years so we knew we could transform this home into the home of our dreams. All we needed was a little faith, a lot of patience and some hard work!
First things first. You can’t have a reveal without a few before pics, right?!

Renovation Process:
First things first! Demolition of the old shower insert and tub.
The hubs working with his saw-zaw to tear out the the insert.
Getting there!
After everything was torn out, some of the walls needed to be re-framed to accommodate the size of the new shower, along with a frame for the shower seat.
Next was installing the shower pan liner, along with the mud bed.

After the mud bed was completely dry, about 3 days later, the shower walls went up!
The red guard was rolled on and it’s a rubber membrane material to protect against water.
Shower Tile:
I have always wanted to learn how to tile, so my husband taught me how during our renovation! I tiled the first two walls, all by myself, with my husband making the cut pieces.
I really enjoyed tiling our shower and having my hand in the work of our bathroom! When I got tired, my husband would help apply the thinset!
Making sure each tile was lined up just right!

My husband tiled the 3rd wall and the shower seat, along with the shower floor.

Removing Old Flooring:
There was two layers of flooring. The first layer was put on by the previous homeowner. It was the pre-cut square linoleum tiles with a layer of sticky glue underneath. The bottom layer was the original linoleum to the house. It was a sticky mess!
Painting the Cabinets:
We decided to keep the vanity to save costs. I decided to paint the inside and outside of my cabinets with my diy chalk paint. You can find that recipe here . I used Sherwin Williams in Snowbound.
Floor Tile:
First on the agenda was adding the backer board then adding the thin set with tile.
Removing Popcorn Ceilings:
This was the last room to remove popcorn ceilings in our house 🙌🏼 We removed the popcorn then patched and painted!
Shower Ceiling:
We chose to do a shiplap ceiling with vintage board & batten to the ceiling! We also added two recessed lights and a fan. This picture is beginning to add the wood.
The boards had what we originally thought was several layers of dirt. What we were surprised to find was several layers of dirt with a layer of mold underneath. It took several applications to treat the mold and remove it completely!
Making progress!
Almost done! Just need to add the other recessed light.
Wood Countertop:
We had a huge red oak tree fall on property a little over a year ago. My husband had an idea to mill the wood! We have already made several shelves & wood cutting boards from this wood! I had the idea to use the wood for a wood countertop in our bathroom. It would basically be at no cost, just our time.
Removing old countertop and sinks.
Out with the old and in with the new!
New countertop installed and I am applying the first coat of matte poly. I applied four coats of matte poly while sanding lightly in between and no sanding on the final coat.
Installing the Shower Door:
Installing Mirror Frame:
We decided to keep the existing mirror. We made a wood frame and painted it the same color of the cabinets.
Installing our Jaida Pfister Faucets:
Installing Cabinet Knobs & Drawer Pulls:
We installed glass drawer pulls and glass knobs.

Final Thoughts:
We are enjoying our newly renovated bathroom so much! It is so nice to have a master retreat! This is a wonderful gift to be able to give to each other. We have never taken a trip alone together or had a honeymoon! It’s about time, since we are celebrating our 22nd wedding anniversary this month! Also, this bathroom would not have been completed yet if it wasn’t for the help of our two oldest (adult) daughters! They truly helped make our dream bathroom come true!! Team work really does make the dream work!

I love “shopping my home” for items that I already have on hand, especially during the Covid-19 quarantine; like these planters that I we had stored under our deck. I have had these for 15 years, so I decided to add a coat of black spray paint, that I also had on hand, to spruce them up! Like new again! We recently visited our favorite nursery so I added a fern to each planter. I added the chairs for comfort and two pillows, which were a diy. You can find that blog 
Add in a small table with a couple of plants and throw a blanket over a chair, for those chilly spring nights. My friends over at 
The Market Umbrella is amazing with its auto tilt and crank! We chose the color beige. The 9 ft umbrella is enough space for two lounge chairs or a 4-6 person round table. It is also has a rust free coating! The base is recycled plastic and a steel pole! It can also be filled with water to create a more stable base plus its weather resistant! These pieces will last in your backyard for years to come! Budget friendly pieces and the quality is wonderful!
I did use the attachment to my carpet cleaner to clean the cushions and let them dry in the sun. I found all of my fabric on sale at Joanne’s for $50. I used two coupons! I did not have a pattern for the cushions, so I used the existing cushions as my pattern, by laying the fabric on top of the cushions and left about an inch for seam allowance on all sides.
I decided to use stick down floor “hardwood” vinyl “planks”. I even staggered it to make it look like hardwoods. I bought two boxes for $15 each, at a local discount store called Ollie’s.
Today is our monthly blog hop, challenging us to find an item from a thrift shop, estate sale, garage sale, rummage sale, yard sale, antique shop, Craigslist or FB Marketplace. Hosted by Tara from 
A couple of months ago, I decided to make new pillows for our sectional sofa. The pillows that came with the couch were just not really my style. I definitely needed something more neutral. I immediately knew that canvas painter’s drop cloths would be the fabric that would be super affordable and durable with a large family! I already had a drop cloth on hand from Lowes that was around $12 from that project, so I decided to use it for this project. When I made the new pillows for the couch, I knew I could always accent those pillows with a few seasonal pillows.
