Today’s the day… our bathroom remodel “before” and “after” reveal is here!!! My pregnancies took about as long as it did to birth this new space but my new baby is everything I was hoping for and more! Ready to see? (post includes affiliate links – full disclosure statement available {here}).
Let’s start by throwing it back to what our master bathroom looked like before. It was tiny, as in ‘I can spread out my arms and almost touch all four walls’ tiny with a small corner shower, toilet and pedestal sink:
Our bedroom is on the first floor and fortunately we had space right off of it to put an addition so that’s what we did! Our old bathroom got completely gutted (it’s actually now part of our new closet) and an entirely new 190 sf space was added onto it. These are our final plans (done by Kathleen Poirier) – I shaded in the portion that was our old master bathroom so you could see what a HUGE difference we’re talking about:
We were limited in the size & shape of the addition by the setback to our septic system and the ability to still have a door leading outside from our family room but we used every square inch that was available to us. Come on in and see…
(crystal & satin brass doorknobs c/o Emtek – available {here})
Soaking Bathtub + Tile Wall
The first thing that you see when you enter through the double doors of our master bedroom is our freestanding tub with statement-making tile wall:
The wall tile c/o Walker Zanger is EVERYTHING – I couldn’t love it more! Definitely one of my favorite things about our bathroom remodel before and after! It’s their “Rattan” tile found {here} and is a mix of porcelain and marble:
I fell in love with it early on in the planning stages for our bathroom and used it as the jumping off point for the rest of the space. Originally I was planning to use it on the shower floor but had to regroup after my tile guy told me it wouldn’t work well there (I needed something smaller to get a good slope to the shower drain). It was a blessing in disguise because I think it was meant for this spot!
For our freestanding bathtub and tub filler, I wanted pieces with simple, clean lines so the tile wall could be the statement-maker. I ended up choosing {this 67″ soaking tub} which has a nice depth and a not too small but not too big size and {this tub filler} in a brushed nickel finish:
And I added {this small wood stool} in front of the tub to hold a drink or towel:
For floor tile throughout the space, I chose {this gray ceramic floor tile} grouted with MAPEI Pewter grout. We placed a Nuheat nVent electric floor heating mat under our tile floors so they’re heated, which has been amazing!!
On to the pendant over the tub – it’s large and in charge and I love it (it’s available both {here} and {here})! It’s 30″ in diameter which is huge but since it’s an open weave it doesn’t take up much visual space and doesn’t block the view out our window:
If you love the look of this pendant but want a slightly smaller size, {this rattan pendant} is very similar.
Bathroom Shelves
Turning to the left of our tub nook, you’ll find the floating wood shelves that I installed to the right of our shower:
Shelf sources (from top to bottom): White woven basket (medium) | Gray & white striped planter (holding snake plant) | Colorful moth art print | White wood frame | Glass canister (1 gallon size) | Bath bombs | Belly basket (similar) | Favorite bath towels | Other accessories no longer available
I’ll share the details on our floating shelves in just a minute but first let’s talk about some of the pretties on them – the white woven basket up top holds extra rolls of toilet paper & this cute belly basket holds our washcloths:
We also have a jar of bath bombs and a spot for our favorite fluffy bath towels:
My floating shelves are c/o UltraShelf – they are 12″ deep white oak in the pickled white finish and are available {here} (they are generously giving my readers 25% off when you use this link and enter code DRIVENBYDECOR at checkout!). They came complete with all of the hardware needed to hang them and are beautifully made – I absolutely love the finish:
You can get all of the nitty gritty details (installation tips, cost vs. DIYing your own, specifics on shelf heights, etc.) in my full post on our bathroom floating shelves. Under our floating shelves is {this lidded seagrass basket – size large} that we’re using as our clothes hamper:
For more details on this stylish laundry hamper and other similar options, check out my post on laundry hampers with lids.
Marble Shower
Right next to our open shelving is our new shower which is a huge upgrade from the Mork from Ork shower pod in our old bathroom:
I chose {this 3″ x 12″ Bianco Bello tile} for the shower walls and {this Bianco Bello 2″ hexagon tile} for the shower floor – both are c/o Walker Zanger and are grouted with Mapei’s “Frost” grout. I fell in love with this particular marble because it’s the perfect not-too-blue, not-too-yellow tone and while it’s so very simple, it’s also really stunning once installed:
My shower niche is definitely one of my favorite things about my bathroom remodel before and after. It was created with the same Bianco Bello tile with Carrara marble shelves that were remnants supplied by my tile guys:
On Shower Niche Shelves: Shampoo & Conditioner Pump Bottles (16 oz white/gold) | Body brush | Sea sponge
With such a pretty shower niche, it didn’t feel right to slap some bright plastic bottles on them so I found {these shampoo and conditioner pumps} that are exactly what I was looking for:
We also have a smaller niche centered under our large niche that’s a foot rest for shaving (and also the perfect spot to keep my razor):
I put {this small teak shower bench} in the corner of our shower as a spot to keep our towel while showering since I elected not to add a towel bar or hooks to our shower enclosure. Right now I have our tasseled bath mat resting on it:
For our shower hardware, I was initially planning to use Kohler’s Purist shower trim set but was able to find a similar look for a bit less:
I chose {this thin shower head} on {this shower head arm} with {this flange} along with {this shower valve trim} in Satin Nickel. They coordinate really beautifully with our vanity faucets:
I wanted to have a hand shower for cleaning the shower but didn’t want the clutter of a shower bar so chose {this hand shower} that rests on a simple hook:
I kept the glass shower enclosure super simple with straight, clean lines. I wrote an entire post on choosing my glass shower enclosure that has a ton of additional details.
Bathroom Vanity
Ready to move on and check out our vanity area on the other side of the bathroom?
In order to have two long windows flanking our master bathroom vanity, we had a max of 60″ of space for our double vanity and went with {this double vanity with a weathered wood finish and caned doors} that filled it perfectly. I love how the caning on the front mimics the design of the tile wall:
The vanity came with small silver knobs that I thought looked kinda wimpy so I swapped them with {these frosted acrylic/champagne gold knobs}, using the larger size for the top faux drawers and the smaller size for the doors:
The vanity came with a marble vanity top and sinks so I was good to go there. I simply added two of {these high arc bathroom faucets} in the brushed nickel finish – I love the style of the cross handles:
For lighting, I chose two of {these vanity lights} with glass globe shades placed above the mirrors:
Above each sink I used {these large rectangular mirrors}. I love that the frame is so thin that you can see a good bit of gold from the side but only a small amount from the front which allows for subtle mixing of metal finishes with the brushed nickel faucets:
I found a small woven seagrass tray for the middle of the vanity – it’s the perfect small size to fit in between our sinks! Inside the tray, I have flowers in a cross base planter similar to {this one}, a decorative glass jar with Q-tips, and {marble stacking pinch pots} that have dental floss in the top and hair bands in the bottom:
On each side of the vanity, we have {this soap & lotion sink set that comes in a cute white tray}. I put lotion on my hands constantly so I’m loving having it right at hand. I also added one of {these small toothbrush holders} to each side of the sink which takes up so much less counter space than your typical large toothbrush holder:
Towel Hooks
Looking at the wall to the right of our vanity, I added three of {these golden champagne robe hooks} for towels:
The hooks are pretty deep so each one can hold both a white bath towel and one of {these gray & white striped towels} I wrap around my head after showering:
These close-ups give you a great look at the paint color that I chose for this space, which is Chantilly Lace. I used it throughout the room, including the walls, ceiling, & trim. Get all the details on this paint color and how it compares to similar whites in my full post on Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace.
Our Water Closet
And finally we’ll pay a quick visit to our little water closet:
I put a brass wall shelf above the toilet that holds a few pretty things plus has a bar on the bottom where I can hang our wet washcloths before putting them into the hamper (my exact one is no longer available but {this shelf} is super similar):
On the top shelf I framed {this 11 x 14 rose print} in a white wood frame that I already had and I created a “hello sweet cheeks” printable that I framed in {this brass frame}:
I’ve saved my “hello sweet cheeks” {here} as a free printable exclusively for Driven by Decor email subscribers (check your latest DBD email for the password to access it). Just print it on a standard 8 x 11 ½ sheet paper and cut it down to fit a 8 x 10 frame. If you want to become a Driven by Decor subscriber to be notified of new posts and get this and other subscriber-only perks, subscribe for free here:
Moving to the bottom shelf, I found {this round rattan holder for an extra roll of TP} – how cute is that?!:
and to the right of that I added {this new llama planter}:
For a toilet, I chose {this toilet} which is pretty no-frills but then added {this heated toilet seat} which was actually a parting gift from our contractor 🙂
You can use it on almost any toilet but need an electrical outlet on the toilet wall to plug it into so we planned for that with this space. I also added{this brass toilet paper holder}:
and {this small rattan trash can}:
There’s one other space that you still haven’t seen and that’s our master closet that’s to the left when you enter our bathroom:
Since I’ve already shared a zillion and one photos with you guys today I’m sharing the closet tour as a separate post. You can check out our new IKEA PAX closet system {here} – we LOVE how it turned out! Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing in my excitement over our new space!

Pam L says
I agree with Carol Heartfelt Whimsies. Stunning and timeless!
The choice of the marble shower tiles are stunning also and well
designed. These tiles enhance, without distracting from the bamboo
tub feature wall.
I would like to know if you like the clear globes on the lighting.
I like how they appear to be invisible and seem to disappear.
However, I wonder if they seem too bright or glaring when lit.
Also, how was the lighting in the old bathroom with the installation
on the mirror? Again, was it glaring?
Thank for your reply. Admire your style.
Kris Jarrett says
Hi Pam – that’s a good question! I actually bought both clear and frosted bulbs because I wasn’t sure either but I don’t find the clear bulbs I used to be too glaring – I think maybe because they’re above my line of sight so we’re not looking directly at them? The lighting in our old bathroom on the mirror was actually decent and I didn’t have an issue with it being too glaring either. The lighting that I’ve had in a bathroom that I hated was overhead can lighting right above the sinks – that creates awful shadows and made it almost impossible to put makeup on. Hope that helps!
Sylvia says
Absolutely stunning to the last detail. Thank you for sharing all the information about your remodel.
Marty says
Oh my word, this is incredible. What a beautiful bathroom. Love your choice of fixtures and finishes. Stunning.
LC says
Such a gorgeous space! I love all your choices! I’m just wondering if your towel doesn’t get drenched so close to your shower? It does look cute staged there! Congratulations!
Kris Jarrett says
That’s actually our bath mat that’s draped over the bench in the pic but no – I put my towel on it when I shower and it gets a few sprinkles of water on it but that’s about it (I sit it fully on top, not draped toward the shower head like the mat is). Our shower is 5 feet long so the water doesn’t get to the far back corners.
Sally Ficken says
Gorgeous! Love that shower
Anonymous says
stunning!
Jean says
Kris,
What a transformation!!!! Beautiful, Beautiful I love everything you did. I love the mix of metals; I use Oil Rubbed Bronze but I would love to use some Brass but not sure what or where to start picking the right brass to go with the Oil Rubbed. Any suggestions will be appreciated. I’ve followed you for awhile now and love how you decorate and style your rooms. Your taste are impeccable. I checked on the brass shelf for the bathroom but it is no longer available; I loved the size and how it was made. I’ll have to look somewhere else. I’ll be waiting for your info on the wooden shelves and closet. The Tile over the tub is out of this world. It just frames the tub and niche so good. It’s beautiful. Kris, you really did a wonderful redo-I bet you and hubby take a longgggg shower; it’s tooo pretty to not linger in there once in awhile. I’ve talked too much; waiting for more to come. Thanks so much for sharing.
your blog friend,
jean
Kris Jarrett says
Hi Jean,
Thank you so much – you are so kind!! I would go with an antiqued brass if mixing it with oil rubbed bronze – it has some subtle brown highlights that would help tie the two metals together!
Lisa says
Your bathroom is stunning Kris!! Love every detail!
Carmen says
LOVE everything – especially how you strategically added natural materials to warm things up (light fixture and vanity). I find so many grey and white baths to be stark and cold. Not yours! That tile wall is a showstopper. Also find that mixing metals gives rooms such a more expensive look. Beauty job!
Hayley L Coxe says
It’s absolutely gorgeous. I know you’re excited about the NC home, but I wouldn’t want to leave that beautiful bathroom behind. You’ve certainly thought of every detail. It is definitely magazine worthy.
Michele M says
WOW!!!! It really doesn’t get much better than that, Kris. Well done – it is absolutely stunning – down to every single detail.
Now you have EARNED letting Calgon take you away (or those Etsy bath bombs, rather) in your new sweet soaker tub!!!
Linda says
GORGEOUS! That’s all I have…..gorgeous. I love it all. Excellent job….the colors, the tiles, the windows, everything is so nice!!
Kari says
Serene and lovely! I have 2 questions- how do you clean at the sides and back of the tub and is it awkward to accomplish.? Also, what sort of window covering do you have/plan to have for privacy? Thank you for sharing- I am planning our own master bath renovation and would like all the details!
Margot says
Remodeled both our upstairs bathrooms 2 years ago. We have windows that open behind our tub and had room to move the tub so it is about a foot away from the wall – easy to get back there to work the windows and clean but tub does not look like it’s sticking out into the room. I can vacuum there but also frequently use a Swiffer which seems capable of swiveling into any small space! We also put our tub filler (one of the pricier purchases) at one end of the tub so that it’s beautiful design is not hidden behind the tub.
Kari says
Thank you Margot! Beauty and practicable is the hard place to land, and you have helped me with your answer.
Kris Jarrett says
Hi Kari – the sides of the tub are actually really easy to clean – there is a little more room to maneuver there than I think it seems from the pic. The back is definitely more challenging – it’s easy to get too with my long vacuum nozzle but for wiping with a wet cleaner is more challenging but definitely doable. Fortunately since you can’t see the dust that accumulates back there, I’m probably not going to be cleaning back there as often as I maybe should 🙂 For the windows, I haven’t fully decided yet but think I’m going to put honeycomb shades on that don’t take up much space when they’re pulled all the way up – we have complete privacy out there right now with the trees fully leafed out but will put something up this winter.
Vs says
Love every square inch. You really thought out every perfect detail and it shows! Enjoy!!! (That tub looks absolutely dreamy. )
Jennifer says
What a beautiful room you have created, I wish I had your vision and passion for “design elegance“.
You are a truly amazing and inspiring lady!!
Lizzy says
GORGEOUS! Everything! You did a phenomenal job. My favorite item is the vanity.
Denise Baliotti says
Kris – you never fail to amaze me with your keen eye & brilliance with all of the beautiful decorative details! Your master bath is stunning. I want to move in!! I’m sure you’re enjoying every visit into your new spa- like space. I currently have a master bath that’s even smaller than your former bath, so I am a wee bit envious of your gorgeous new space! Great job as usual.
MaryAnn Krause says
Your master bath is stunning !!! What a perfect retreat . I do have a question, did you consider a spot for hanging a hand towel? I am wondering where to place ours. We recently moved into a new build and there aren’t any towel bars. I am using hooks as you did for the bath towels but not sure what to do for the hand towels. I want to avoid a towel bar.
Kris Jarrett says
Thank you MaryAnn! We have been using the middle towel on the hooks (the one that looks different from the other two) as a hand towel – I can actually reach it while still standing in front of my sink but it’s not as easy for Jeff so I added a hand towel on a hook on the side of the vanity for him where you can’t see it. He ends up leaving it on the top of the sink most of the time though so my hidden towel plan is mostly foiled 🙂
Michele says
Breathtaking! You have impeccable taste. Well done.
Kerry G says
This looks amazing! I’d never want to leave the bathroom. What are the dimensions of your shower? Thanks.
Kris Jarrett says
Thank you! The shower is about 3′ x 5’5″!
Sarah says
It’s even better than my already super high expectations!! Such a dream and you did such an amazing job. I think my favorite part is those gorgeous windows framing my dream vanity. I can’t get enough!
Chris Ann says
So Lovely! Careful planning & saving where you can produced such a tailor made, welcoming retreat! Your vanity makes me Swoon…
Kindly, Chris Ann
Barbara says
Just stunning!! EVERYTHING is perfect!

Absolutely beautiful! We are currently planning our bathroom renovation, thank you for sharing!
Elise says
Beautiful bathroom renovation and great accessories and attention to detail. Terrific clean lines!
How do you clean and maintain your shower floor? I installed something similar and I’m afraid to use harsh chemicals with such a pretty tile.
Kris Jarrett says
My tile installer sealed the marble and grout after finishing our shower and said we should reseal it every so often. Since it’s brand new I haven’t had to clean it yet but I’ve been told that just a mild soap is best. I’ve also been told that giving your marble a quick one minute wipedown after the last person has showered for the day does a lot to help maintain it!
Judy Marco says
We have the same style bath as our old one, but sadly no place to expand. Your bathroom is beautiful! Question, where is your makeup etc?
Kris Jarrett says
Thank you Judy! I have my daily makeup in a clear handled caddy under the sink so I just grab it and put it on the countertop for putting on my makeup and then put it away for the day. I would love to have a bunch of drawers but a 60″ vanity was the max we could fit if we also wanted a tub!
gail says
Kris
Beautiful end result! Quick question…are your shampoo/conditioner pumps glass or plastic?
Thanks for responding
Kris Jarrett says
Hi Gail – the ones I bought are glass but the same shop makes them in a plastic option too!
Elizabeth says
Stunning! This bathroom is absolutely amazing. I hope that you enjoy every minute soaking in the tub and staring at your beautiful tile wall. I love it all.
Jodi says
Gorgeous!! I’m so curious if you have a plan for cleaning the shower tiles. We used a similar marble tile for our shower walls and floor and unfortunately have found them very hard to keep clean. Any products you know you’ll use or tips you have to preserve these beautiful materials?
Kris Jarrett says
Hi Jodi – our tile and grout were sealed by our tile installer and he said to reseal them every so often to help with maintenance. Also, after we have both showered each day, I squeegee the glass and give the tile a quick wipe-down with a towel – it literally only takes about two minutes to do and I’ve been told it helps a ton with long term maintenance. For cleaning. I’m just using a mild soap!
Jennifer Holmes says
Oh my goodness!!!!!! This is phenomenal! Absolute perfection!
classic casual home says
YAY!!! The beautiful baby has been delivered! Nice job, Kris!!!
Mary Ann
Brittany says
I love everything you did in here! If you don’t mind, what color grout did you use with the floor tile? I love how it all blends together!
Kris Jarrett says
It’s Mapei Pewter 🙂
Maggie says
I absolutely love everything you do! I am planning our renovation for our master bathroom now and was wondering if you installed a hand towel hook/ring anywhere in your bathroom? Thanks!!
Kris Jarrett says
Hi! We actually use the large Turkish towel on the middle wall hook (between the two hooks with our bath towels) as our hand towel.
Lisa says
Hi! Beautiful bathroom! I love the gray tile on the floor! Can you tell me what color grout you used? I am thinking of using the same ones in our bathroom remodel. Are you happy with them?
Kris Jarrett says
It’s Mapei Pewter 🙂
Ashley Tam says
This looks amazing! I am wondering about how the shower curb was done. It looks like one or two pieces on top. Did the marble you choose have a bullnose or did the tile contractor round the edges for you?
Kris Jarrett says
The shower curb is Carrara marble that my tile guys cut to fit our space. They rounded out the edges.
Holly says
This is gorgeous and inspiring as I pull my own together. I loved that you mixed metal finishes, as I have a hard time choosing between satin nickel and satin brass. What’s your advice on mixing?
Kris Jarrett says
I actually recently wrote a post on it that I think you’ll find helpful! https://www.drivenbydecor.com/favorite-tips-mixing-metals-home/
Kait says
Hi! The PB Sausalito vanity is very high on my list for our bathroom reno. I noticed in another person’s photo that the cane is somewhat see-through. It was slightly deterring me from purchasing. Since you’ve had yours for some time and have been living with it, does that bother you?
Thank you in advance! Your bathroom is gorgeous and has given me SO much inspiration.
XX
Kris Jarrett says
Hi Kait! It is somewhat see-through but it’s never bothered me at all! I feel like as long as you keep things inside a few inches back from the doors, it’s just not that big of an issue.
Bev says
Fantastic job! Love your new space. You shared in your Instagram stories the trick on the double doors where you used magnets instead of roller balls. Very cleaver and curious where did you find these magnets…and how were they installed?
Lauren Small says
Can you please share the color of the grout used on the floor for the gray ceramic tiles? Thank you!!
Rhonda Stewart says
I’m hoping to find out the color of the grout for the tile too! I just bought the flooring today! She did such a wonderful job.
Kris Jarrett says
It’s Mapei Pewter 🙂
Mighty says
This is literally my EXACT bathroom setup. Seeing this brought it to life. Thanks sooo much for posting and linking all of the things you used. LOVE.
Jackie says
This is beautiful and my inspiration for our master bath renovation in the next month! I’m so excited!! Can I ask, what color grout you used with the floor? Was it the same Frost that was used in the shower?
Kris Jarrett says
It’s Mapei Pewter 🙂
Mary P says
This bathroom is STUNNING! We are currently remodeling two of our home’s bathrooms and there is so much inspiration here! And thank you for all the links! Question about the vanity knobs you used – several comments on amazon said that the white part in the center wasn’t a creamy white as pictured in the listing and that it was only glued on and would easily pop off. Have you found that to be true?
Kris Jarrett says
I would say it is a creamy white – I think the close-up pic I have of them in this post is a true representation of what they look like. I did have one of the white centers come loose from the knob and had to glue gun it back on (and it’s held with no problem since then). I actually contacted the company about it and they said they had a bad batch so I’m assuming the issue has been resolved…
Ivana says
Hi! Your bathroom is gorgeous! Question. The tiles are natural stone right? How do you find the upkeep of them? I want to use natural stone in my family’s shower (we have young kids), but the people in the tile store advised against it because of the maintenance. What’s your opinion?
Kris Jarrett says
Hi Ivana – I think you’ll find this post helpful! https://www.drivenbydecor.com/marble-tile-bathroom/
Morgan says
Love it! How big is your shower? I am trying to visually compare it to the space we have haha!
Kris Jarrett says
It’s about 3′ x 5 1/2′
Erin says
I’m so happy I ran across your bathroom remodel. I was trying to explain to my husband my ideas, but these pictures are exactly what I needed to find! Also, what is the model/name of the floor tile? Great job!
Kris Jarrett says
It’s from Floor & Decor – the exact listing is linked at the end of my post. 🙂
Trena Urbin says
Will you share a link to the floor tile? I love how all of this came together!!!
Kim says
I’d also like to know what floor tile you used. I saw you used pewter grout. It’s so nice with brown and gray!!
Tiffany says
Absolutely beautiful!! Thank you for taking the time to list all the products and exquisite detail. Do you happen to recall what you used for the shower tile trim?
Karen says
Gorgeous!! Just curious…where do you keep your make up? Do you have a make up table in your bedroom?
missy says
what paint color is on the walls?
Kris Jarrett says
It’s Chantilly Lace
Deana Rabbach says
Just confirming the actual shower tiles measure 3″ x 12″? They look so much smaller than 12″! I love this look so trying to recreate it, but the 12″L tiles are throwing me off.
Susie Heath says
Hello, Love your posts and beautiful work. Thank you for the tips. I’m considering those lights for my daughters’ bathroom. Have you found them to be adequate?
Kris Jarrett says
Yes, very happy with them!
Deana Rabbach says
Beautiful! I remember reading something about installing the curb and shower doors. Can you direct me to that post? I can’t seem to find it! I’m wondering what the dimensions of your shower curb are and the tips you gave for installing shower doors.
Kris Jarrett says
Hi Deana – you can find all the details on our glass shower enclosure in this post: https://www.drivenbydecor.com/glass-shower-enclosures/ and shower dimensions in this post: https://www.drivenbydecor.com/bathroom-measurements-towel-bar-toilet-paper-holder/
Hannah says
Hi! I keep coming back to this gorgeous bathroom for inspiration! It’s stunning and I soo appreciate how thoughtful you were to share all the sources – not a quick task I’m sure!! I just moved and am coming back to this post again and again for ideas. I noticed that the link for vanity lighting brings up a Wayfair error page now. Any chance you have any information you could share, like the maker or model name? I find lighting to be the hardest thing to pick and just love these!!
Thanks for the help and inspiration!
Kris Jarrett says
Hi Hannah – I just updated the link so it should work for you now! 🙂
Audrey says
Hi there,
LOVE EVERYTHING!
Question, I know you said your brass shelving isn’t available, but do you mind sharing where you got it? Maybe they have another version. I’m looking for that exact antique brass color shelving to match my fixtures.
Thanks in advance!
Audrey
Kris Jarrett says
It’s from Pottery Barn. They have the same parent company as West Elm so I think the one I linked is probably the closest you’ll get!
Trish says
Love this! What color did you use for the grout for the floor tile. Or is it the same color as you used for the shower grout?
Kris Jarrett says
I used MAPEI Pewter for the floor tile 🙂
Rachel says
What a stunning bathroom, designed by someone with clearly impeccable taste!
I came across this terrifically fun blog because I’m in the process of doing a gut renovation to my bathroom. I was particularly struck by the beauty of the marble Walker Zanger bianco bello tile in your shower stall and wanted to ask if you continue to be happy with it, especially from the standpoint of maintenance/care in a wet environment. I hear different things about the suitability of marble in the shower, but I am in love with it aesthetically. If you wouldn’t mind sharing your experience so far, I’d be grateful!
Kris Jarrett says
I think marble in the shower is beautiful BUT it does require more maintenance – if you love it enough like I do that the extra maintenance is worth it, go for it. If you don’t want to spend any extra time on it, then go with something else. The marble needs to be resealed occasionally and it’s more challenging to clean – the way to go is to squeegee the shower glass AND the marble walls after showering so water doesn’t sit on it – it’s that sitting water that causes all of the mildew and other issues that are harder to clean off marble. Also, marble shower floors will invariably have some color changes in the areas where the water hits so if that’s going to bother you, choose something different for the floors.
Tracy says
Kris,
How do you clean your marble? We are finishing up our bathroom remodel and put marble on the shower walls and shower floor.
Thanks in advance
Kris Jarrett says
Really the biggest key is to use a squeegee on the glass doors AND shower walls after everyone has showered for the day. If the tile stays dry, it hardly gets dirty. When I clean it I’ve just been using a mild dish soap.
Izabella says
I love every detail of your bathroom, it is absolutely stunning 😍 It gave me so much inspiration for my upcoming master bathroom remodel in my new home. I would like to purchase the same shower wall tiles and shower floor tiles but there is no option to purchase them on the Walker Zanger website 😢. Can I ask how you purchased your tiles?
Kris Jarrett says
Thank you! Walker Zanger doesn’t sell online but there are tile stores throughout the country that carry their products. If you go to their website, there is an option to search for a store near you that you can buy it from. 🙂
Izabella says
Woohoo!!! I was able to find a store that carries Walker Zanger products and they do have the same exact Bianco Bello tiles, they are really stunning compared to other similiar ones I have seen! Did you go witb shiny or matte? I prefer the look of the matte but was told shiny are more practial for the shower wall.
Kris Jarrett says
Mine is honed and I’ve been really happy with my choice 🙂
Jennifer C says
What a stunning remodel- it is just beautiful! I’m actually looking for a marble tile that has some gray and some taupey-beige coloring as well. From your photos, it looks like that might be the case with the Bianco Bello but I’m wondering if you could comment on whether that is actually the case. Thanks in advance!
Kris Jarrett says
I’d say there is just the slightest bit of the taupey coloring in it but not very much. Marble can differ a bit from batch to batch too so you could possibly get some that had either more or less of that coloring in it with the exact same product…
Jill DiMassimo says
I cannot tell you how helpful this post is for me. I am drowning in decision overload and you have been so generous with your time, photos and sources. So many times, the sources are hidden or everything is outrageously expensive. Your bathroom is GORGEOUS and is my official favorite inspo bathroom. Thank you so very much!
Amy Gerber says
What so you do with hand towels?
Kris Jarrett says
The center of the three towels hanging on the wall is what we use as a hand towel. We both use the right sink when we wash our hands (since that’s the one nearest to the toilet) so it works out well and gives us more counter space than if it was sitting on the vanity top.
Lisa McKittrick says
Beautiful and my inspiration for our bathroom remodel. Where did you get the sliding door handle?
Kris Jarrett says
Thank you! It’s from Emtek – the exact one is linked in this post: https://www.drivenbydecor.com/ikeas-pax-closet-system-good-bad-ugly/
Rebecca Neeley says
Thank you SOOOO much for sourcing everything and the other detailed posts you did on your bathroom. This has helped me immensely. Have your bathroom faucets performed well? The reviews are good but a few people complained about the water not shutting off fully right away. Interested to know your thoughts. Thank you!
Kris Jarrett says
I’ve been very happy with our faucets! The water doesn’t stop immediately when turned off but it only takes literally two seconds – it’s not like it keeps running for 30 seconds or anything like that. We have another faucet in our house that’s exactly the same so it hasn’t been an issue at all.
Dana says
I have used your beautiful
Bathroom as inspiration for my 2 tiny pea sized masters in my condo.
I just received the teak bench- yours looks beautiful in the pictures. The one I received has yellow streaks. Did your have them and go away over time?
Kris Jarrett says
No mine didn’t have any yellow streaks when I got it. I would ask from them to exchange it for you!
Kat Leon says
Hi, whats the size of your shower enclosure? It looks fantastic!
Kris Jarrett says
It’s about 3′ x 5 1/2″
Judi Davis says
I did not see the grey master bath tile flooring info. Did I miss it?
Kris Jarrett says
It’s from Floor and Decor – there’s a direct link to it in the Source List at the end of the post 🙂
Meghan says
What color did you paint the walls?
Also is that brass light with a gold mirror for the vanity. I bought the vanity and I’m doing something similar mixing the gold with polished nickel. Thank you!
Kris Jarrett says
They are painted Chantilly Lace
Barbara Stazko says
Love the paint color !

I absolutely love everything about this bathroom! I have been looking for inspo and this is SO me and so perfect in every way!
Kim says
Could you provide the link for the satin nickel shower trim? I absolutely love it and the link listed above does not work.
Thank you!
Kris Jarrett says
I’ve updated the links so they should work now!
Sarah Johnson says
Absolutely gorgeous design! Definitely bookmarked for our upcoming master reno. Quick question — what tile is around the base of the shower? Is it the same tile that is on the wall? It just looks a bit bigger.
Thanks!
Kris Jarrett says
Yes, it’s actually the same tile – just in a larger size that was cut to fit the space!
Michelle L says
I have been waiting for the moment to reno a bathroom and copy some of these details!! What are your thoughts on a 3 wall shower with a glass wall/door having the accent tiles as the main wall?? Would you do like marble tiles for the 2 smaller side walls? Or the accent all around? Or too much? I will do the hex tiles on the floor. Thanks!
Kris Jarrett says
It’s all totally personal preference. I really like simplicity in my designs so I prefer all the walls to have the same tile but I’ve also seen some beautiful accent walls in showers!
Carey Mowrey says
Hi – which stool did you buy the “small” one or “large”? Thanks!!
Erin Poci says
I fell absolutely in love with your bathroom. So much so, that it was my inspiration for my master bathroom remodel. Thank you for sharing your sources and tips. It was invaluable in helping me narrow down my choices. Now my friends are all saying my bathroom looks like a designer bath and I tell everyone I just got ideas from someone who did it even better.
Thx, Kris. Love your style.
Kris Jarrett says
That’s so nice to hear and so sweet of you to take the time to comment! 🙂
Pamela says
Hi Kris!
First than you for sharing the whole process of your work! What I love most about your bathroom Reno, is the feel of it. I’ve been wanting a spa feel to ours, and yours helps so much to put a finger on all the details!
I wanted to ask you about your tiles. I already get that we must go through a local store to find the Bianco Bello tiles, but I’m running into a $300 shipping from supplier to the store cost that I was not expecting. Was this normal for you? Should I try a different store? It does increase the price a bit, and the stores are all 2-3 hours from me, so I wouldn’t necessarily see the tiles in person. With shortages the stores don’t even have the tiles in stock. All are awaiting arrival from docks. But it would be worth it for the right tiles. Any tips relating to this? I would so appreciate it! We start our project in January. 🙏🏼
Shannon says
Does the 3” x 12” tile with this reno look different than what’s linked on the Walker Zanger website? I know every piece is different, but I want to ensure I’m ordering the exact tile that’s being featured. Thanks!
Kris Jarrett says
I actually drove and picked up the tile myself so unfortunately don’t have any info on shipping costs!
Ruth says
I love the your remodel! Thank you for sharing so many details. How have the faucets, shower head and controls, and tub filler held up? Have they worn well? Thanks!
Kris Jarrett says
Yes, no problems!
Isabella says
Hi Kris, did you have to purchase the shower arm for the shower head separately? I purchased the same one but just realized that I just have the shower head. Mine is the satin brass color and I am afraid it will be hard to find a color match.
Kris Jarrett says
Yes the shower head and arm are purchased separately but the arm is pretty inexpensive – I believe this is the one I chose:
California Faucets 9104-SN 8″ Brass Shower Arm – Satin Nickel
Carrie says
Love the bathroom, I patterned my remodel largely on yours! Question – how did you handle all of the extra chain that comes with the rattan pendant above the tub?
Kris Jarrett says
The electrician just cut out the extra chain!
Christine says
Love this bathroom! I read in one of your blogs somewhere about a product call Rub- something!
It had something to do with gold finish.maybe changing finish to gold? I meant to go back to it and I can’t recall where I read it! Can you remind me;)
Kris Jarrett says
Sure! Here you go: https://www.drivenbydecor.com/rub-n-buff-colors/
Marc Fabre says
Love your remodel and definitely considering incorporating some of your design ideas into our Townhouse build. I didn’t see what type of tile you used on the overall bathroom floor. Could you provide that as that?
Kris Jarrett says
It’s from Floor & Decor – the exact one is linked in my post.
Callie says
Hello Kris,
I’m using the same Walker Zanger tile in my shower and shower pan as you did. Would you please share with me the materials and sources you used to build your shower curb? Both the curb and the top of the curb?
Thank you
Kris Jarrett says
The top is Carrara marble and the sides are the same tile as the shower but in a larger size that was cut to fit.
Carol Dial says
Your bathroom is stunning! Such a peaceful and relaxing space. Do you happen to remember where your door hinges came from? I also have the Emtek doorknobs and I’ve ordered 4 sets of hinges and the color is never right. Thanks!
Kris Jarrett says
They are from Emtek also!

I have this beautiful vanity! Were you able to put the shelf in underneath? The sink pipes are getting in the way right now
Kris Jarrett says
Yes, I was able to put my shelves in both sides but just barely! I could see how it could be an issue if your plumbing from the sink went down too low.
Coral says
I have this beautiful bathroom vanity were you able to install the shelf underneath right now plumbing pipes are in my way
Kristine says
You mention you used Mapei Frost on shower walls and floor. I’m nervous it will be too light (get dirty etc) for my bathroom floor, however it looks fairly darker in your photos. Would you say it is a little darker than the grout stick samples or it’s just photographing dark?
Kris Jarrett says
It’s a fairly light gray – this post with close-up pics might be helpful for giving you a better idea of the color: https://www.drivenbydecor.com/white-subway-tile-gray-grout/
Lisa says
Oops…tile
Ann says
Hi! Are you still happy with your tub filler? It’s very reasonably priced and wonder if you are happy with the quality.
Kris Jarrett says
Yes! Super happy with it!
Diane Baranowski says
Hi Kris, did you use porcelain tile on your bathroom floor? What brand, size and color please?
Thanks,
Diane
Kris Jarrett says
It’s ceramic tile from Floor and Decor – there’s a direct link to it in the Source List at the end of the post that will give details on sizing and color 🙂
Karen Rankin says
Hello- What color wall electrical wall plates did you use with the Chantilly Lace on the walls. Thanks!
Kris Jarrett says
They are actually just standard white!
Renee says
Can you tell me what spacing you heard between your shower tiles? Love love love your bath! We are in the middle of our remodel and I have a pic hanging in my gutter bath for inspiration! Thanks for all the info- so helpful!
Kris Jarrett says
Sorry I can’t remember what size spacers they used but it was pretty minimal!
Robin says
Kris, love everything about this Master Bath. And thanks for all the tips on where to buy
Mary Schafer says
What color ceiling paint did you use with Chantilly Lace walls and trim?
Kris Jarrett says
Hi Mary – everything was painted with Chantilly Lace, including the ceiling.
Kris Jarrett says
Hi Amy – it’s a pair of Marvin casement windows (from their Elevate line)
Mary Andrachik says
Kris, absolutely stunning every detail. When you were looking for your tile, did you happen to come across any porcelain tile that looked very similar? I love the 3″ x 12″ Bianco Bello tile and the Bianco Bello 2″ hexagon tile.
Kris Jarrett says
Thank you! I ideally wanted to find a porcelain tile that was a close look-alike but found nothing that was comparable to the look of this beautiful marble!
Shirley McCrudden says
I love everything about your master bathroom! It is beautiful! I need to redo mine thanks to a leak and am hoping to achieve a similar look. Does your floor tile have a slight green tone to it? I picked up a sample of the Concrete Gray Ceramic Tile that you linked from Floor & Decor and it looks greener and darker than what I’m seeing in your photos.
Kris Jarrett says
No I honestly didn’t feel like there was any green hue at all to our tile!
tracy says
I love everything so much we are designing our bathroom after yours! Question, do you recall what finish you got for the shower fixtures?
Kris Jarrett says
Yes, all of our plumbing fixtures in the shower are satin nickel.
Allison says
How do you keep your shower clean? Wondering if got have post with tips? We used your bathroom for inspiration and are having a hard time figuring out how to clean the tiles and grout. Thanks!
Kris Jarrett says
Hi! This post has all the details: https://www.drivenbydecor.com/marble-tile-bathroom/
Bruce says
Kris, you’ve got a keen eye and incredible taste. I’ve been following your blog for the past couple years. We borrowed a lot of your design ideas for our kitchen remodel and powder room renovation in 2023. Even did the same Hallmark Malibu flooring in our main floor. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? Well, I can’t thank you enough because we’ve been extremely happy with our updates and your blog has been a wealth of information. So, thank you. I did have a couple questions for you. We’re about to recreate your master bath this spring, have our contractor lined up and are starting to look at fixtures/materials. Here come the questions: How is the PB vanity holding up? We have other large wood finished pieces from PB and they don’t always wear well. Just curious what your experience has been with that piece in your bath. Same question on the vanity faucets and the tub filler? I’m having a hard time finding the Avanity Messina faucets, but may have an order about to get filled. My guess is they’re discontinued. Worth effort to track these down? Looks like you may have dodged a bullet on the Kohler Purist shower set–I’m seeing a lot of negative reviews. Would you do that California Faucet setup again with the Phylrich wand? Both wearing well and no issues? I think as far as decisions go, we’re really just trying to hone in on a vanity, which in turn will dictate countertop and somewhat dictate where we go with sinks, faucets and shower faucet trim. Lastly, any chance you can share ballpark cost on Walker Zanger materials? Long lead time? Thanks and look forward to seeing more of your work! Cheers!
