Pool Bathroom Remodel
Hey friends, it’s been a minute since we’ve had a project-related blog post! I’m super excited to share this pool bathroom remodel because it’s actually my own pool bathroom! Yep, this is a personal project we did in our own home and I have to say, I’m really pleased by how it turned out! Keep reading to get the details and see the photos my fabulous sister-in-law, Grace, took of the finished product!
You can’t see it in these photos, but we have a side door right by this bathroom that goes outside to our patio and pool. We never used this bathroom for a number of reasons, one being that the lights were out so it was always very dark! Before it was remodeled, this bathroom was like a bathroom within a bathroom. You’d walk through the door and the vanity was immediately on your right but the toilet and shower were in their own room with a door. It all felt very closed off and dark (especially without working lights) and not a great use of space. The kids would end up going to the far powder bath rather than use this one which led to lots of wet feet tracking water throughout the house. Since we never used the actual shower in this bathroom previously, I knew this would be the perfect spot for a dog shower for our older lab, Rebel, & our newest family member Hank.
We redid our pool and outdoor living space two summers ago and I knew remodeling this bathroom would be the next project in our home! If you’ve been following us for awhile, you know that we love to encourage you to do projects in phases if you don’t have the budget to do it all at once. Zero shame in tackling remodel projects in phases, y’all!
When I sat down to design this bathroom, I knew I wanted it to be completely open and have a classic, but fun, farmhouse feel to coordinate with the rest of our home. We have shiplap in almost all of our bathrooms so I knew that needed to be incorporated! I chose a classic penny tile for the floor but decided to lay it in a fun pattern to give the bathroom personality. I’ve wanted a trough sink for forever in my own home so that was a no brainer! For the shower, I chose a subway tile that has a rougher, handmade look to it than a classic subway tile, and paired it with simple but pretty plumbing.
The actual remodel process was a complete nightmare but that’s a story for a different day! This pool bathroom went from dark and dated to fresh and farmhouse-y, without going overboard on the ‘theme!’ Simple details come together in perfect harmony in this remodeled space. And, of course, we had to include our newest family member, Hank, in the photos!
