This master bathroom makeover is one of those rare renovation times where it ends up not being all *that* hard and on budget. Though in the past we did have big plans for this bathroom, we decided not to do anything major and just do cosmetic changes. You can read why we decided that here.
Even though we had a pretty small space to work with, I’m really happy with how it came together. It feels bigger, nicer, and classier!
Let’s start off with the before & afters and then we’ll get into the details. Stay till the end because I’ll list all the sources!
Classy Master Bathroom Makeover Reveal
Before & After
The Details
The shower tile needs a major update in the future (see photo above) and this curtain works fabulously in the meantime. It looks so elegant and hides the eyesore. Plus, the tall curtain draws your eye up and makes the room feel bigger!
I wanted this space to feel glam yet a little rustic at the same time to fit in with the rest of the house style. You can see our exterior here. I felt like I was able to achieve that with the spa-like details such as the bowl sink and the white towels, mixed with the warm wood rustic floating shelves and decor.
For our hardware, I went with antique brass. Gives the glam of gold and yet a touch of vintage at the same time!
You may have read my updated master bath plans and well, I didn’t get all the storage and the big vanity that I wanted. So what did I do instead? Well, I took my own advice that I give you for your wardrobes and I PARED DOWN!
I limited all my beauty items to one small basket that I keep under the sink where the towels are. I did move it for the photos because it doesn’t match. 😉 Surprisingly, I don’t need as many products as I thought. Funny how that happens…
If I do need something though, I head to the guest bath closet to get it. I don’t go back and forth much and right now it’s not a bother.
The floor is one of my favorite features. The original floor was carpet, then we ripped that out and lived with painted subfloor for a while, so this cool & pretty marble-esque tile feels very luxurious to me.
We decided to do a console table as a vanity for a couple of different reasons. I wanted it to feel more open because it’s such a small space, I thought a unique piece like this could achieve the classy/rustic look I was going for and well, price. Vanities are pretty pricey and ones in our budget were pretty basic and not worth getting in my opinion when we could spend less or the same for something a bit more interesting.
I’m sure future homeowners would probably prefer more storage, but we all know most people go rip everything out and put in what they want anyway haha. At least we do… 🙂
This console table was $70 (!!) from Hobby Lobby. We did a clear matte sealer to protect against water.

It’s gorgeous! Love it!
Thanks so much, Wanda! It was a crazy big improvement.
So happy I found your blog! I love all your posts!!
Thanks so much, Caroline. I’m so glad you found me too! 🙂
This is really beautiful. It is the best example I have seen for getting enormous bang for your buck in terms of style and simple elegance and it certainly inspiration to those that do not have big budgets to think of affordable ways to get the look seen in magazines. Also, if that is you in the photo, you are really beautiful as well, Hope you get more rooms to decorate.
Thanks so much, Flo! What a sweet comment. We still have more updates we’re going to do in this house yet!
This is beautiful! Do you have a tutorial on how you turned the console table into a bathroom vanity??
Thank you! I don’t have a tutorial. But I asked my husband and he said “all I did was drill a hole through the top and run the plumbing through.” Haha, sorry, not very helpful! But here’s a different tutorial for you: https://www.blesserhouse.com/how-to-turn-a-console-table-into-a-bathroom-vanity/ (not mine)
This room is gorgeous. What a great job on a budget. I have a free form granite vessel that is approximately
16 x 18 “. I wondered if a console table would be adequate?? I love that look.
Thank you so much! And I think as long as the table can support the weight of the sink it should work. Good luck!
So beautiful!!! We are updating our house now and I’m using some of your ideas! What size console table did you use? We have a small bathroom, so just wanting to see if I can make this work. Thanks!
Hi! Beautiful bathroom. I was wondering if you could please share the paint color on the wall. Is your toilet off white/ivory? I like the way your wall color doesn’t clash with the off white finishes.
Thanks! It’s Sherwin Williams Alabaster White.
