Our Master Bathroom Reveal
This is a sponsored post with a variety of companies. I want to thank Merola Tile, Avalon Shutters, Hardware Hut and Lamps Plus for participating in our bathroom facelift!
It’s finally time! I’m so excited to share with you our master bathroom reveal. We’ve definitely been busy bees over here during quarantine and spent time making this bathroom our own. I’m giving you the run down on all the companies we worked with, the products we installed and even a couple DIY projects that you can complete in a weekend!
I’ve made it no secret that when we purchased our new build home, it was mainly for the kids. We gained a nice sized loft and a 5th bedroom, but lost square footage in our master bedroom and master bathroom. I swear kids rule the roost! Ha! The finishes in the home came standard and we knew over time, it would be fun to spruce it up ourselves. Quarantine made that happen sooner than later and we dove right on into that DIY pool.
Neil and I made a list when we moved last year of all our top priorities on our Home “to-do” list. Our backyard came first and you can see that transformation, HERE as well as our downstairs powder room (Neil didn’t even mind I wanted wallpaper). Next, came our laundry room, which I shared in my Instagram stories, and then we shifted the focus to our bathroom. Actually, I forced Neil to work on the bathroom, buying my own Mother’s Day present, new faucets! From there, we demoed the mirror and replaced with shiplap (a very easy DIY project), replaced the mirrors and replaced the lighting. The shiplap, which I’ll link below, was very easy to install using liquid nails and a nail gun. The pieces click together evenly and came primed and ready for paint! It made the perfect backdrop for our new rattan mirrors and coastal vanity lights. Next, we installed a new tile floor and added shutters. I decorated using Vintage Vogue and Vanity Fair Magazine covers (I am a huge collector of these), a few Gray Malin prints and a plethora of plants (alive and artificial).
Merola Tile
For over three decades, Merola Tile has been focused on nurturing and building relationships through tile across the country. They have a wide variety of tiles to use for practically any project you have in mind. From kitchens and entryways, to floors and bathrooms, Merola tile delivers superb quality and unique tiles. After scouring the internet for the perfect bathroom tile, I stumbled across the Lacour Artic Powder/Navy Blue porcelain tile and it was exactly what I had been searching for. This style tile also comes in an assortment of other colors. So if blue isn’t for you, check out the black/white/gray, or even the multi colored tile! Again, I will link our exact tile below. You can purchase tile through Home Depot! We used bright white grout and then used a grout sealer to keep it stain free. I literally wake up each morning, look over to my bathroom and smile. This new floor has made me so happy! ALSO, we are working with Merola once more next month on our Master Closet Reveal. You will not want to miss that one! I’m beyond excited. Thank you Merola Tile for the gorgeous tile.
Avalon Shutters
Since 1986, Avalon Shutters has been committed to true American craftsmanship. The Avalon journey started when Bob Marcynyszyn and Doug Serbin, both master carpenters, began their business out of a two car garage in Redlands, Ca. Now, the largest custom shutter manufacturer on the West Coast, Avalon Shutters produces their quality shutters in a 150,000 square foot facility. Avalon carefully selects the highest quality U.S. wood suppliers to ensure their support of the need for increasing tree growth. Avalon also participates in Green Manufactoring, minimizing their carbon footprint in Southern California and the planet.
Prior to our bathroom remodel, we purchased Avalon shutters for ALL our downstairs windows as well as our master bedroom. Conveniently, if you need financing, orders can be made through Home Depot! Originally, I installed a rattan shade in the bathroom, but it just didn’t work with the vision I had for the room, leaving it feeling dark and drab. The shutters were the perfect addition to our window above the soaking tub and I LOVE the amount of natural light that comes through. Thank you, Avalon Shutters!
Hardware Hut
What can I say about Hardware Hut other than we absolutely love working with them! Last year, we partnered up to add some fabulous cabinet pulls to our kitchen as well as install my husbands favorite DIY project, the hidden pull out garbage! You can check out those posts, HERE and HERE. Now, we once again have teamed up to tackle new DIY projects throughout the house. Since we are lacking in bathroom storage, we installed His and Hers Rev-A-Shelf pull out vanity organizers. Which, by the way, are AMAZING! Not only do they free up extra storage space, but the pull out function is desperately needed for someone like me who can’t exactly bend down into the cabinet. These took a total of 30 minutes to install both on each side of our cabinets. We also added some tip out trays to the fake drawer under the sink. They are ideal for daily essentials like toothpaste, deodorant, lotion, etc.

After:
I’m so happy with how this project turned out. There are still a few minor details I’d love to add including crown molding and a new shower handle. I’ll keep you updated over on Instagram as I continue to add to the room! Eventually, Neil and I would like to switch out the soaking tub for a stand alone tub and update the shower.
Thank you Merola Tile, Avalon Shutters and Hardware Hut for working with us to make our vision come to life! Below, I listed their direct links for more information!

You guys….it actually rained here today! And it’s cold! I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR. It doesn’t exasperate my #potssyndrome 🙌🏻 Today, all 4 kids were home from school and we all played Fortnite together with our neighbors. I love days like today. I didn’t run errands, I didn’t clean anything. It’s been marvelous! Tomorrow will be back to business with family photo session editing, brand jobs and getting my ballet school ready for next months shows. But today, today, I did nothing. 🤣 #mondaymood
SAVE AND SHARE THIS RECIPE! This one’s a MUST TRY! I love pumpkin, I love puff pastry and I love me some cheese!

Preheat oven to 375. These will bake for approximately 20-25 minutes. Cut #puffpastry into 10 equal squares, scoop a teaspoon of pumpkin butter on the puff pastry and add a mini brie on top. Close up the dough and use cooking twine to secure it. I tie it around 3-4 times. Brush egg wash over them and bake them for 20-25 min. Use cinnamon sticks for a stem!
