I didn't know we lived on a beach...holy sand!

Let’s start with the floor. We went for an
industrial look.
This wasn’t going to be our main bathroom and it’s in the
basement, so why not do something fun. I knew I wanted a mixture of brown, grey
and black and this was the starting off point.
When you’re thinking about a bathroom floor
I encourage you to add in-floor heating. I had never had it before and I’m sold.
I wrote all about the in-floor heating a couple of months ago. Warm toes = happy feet.
Paint. The colour that we chose is the same
colour throughout the basement. We went with Tulle White by CIL. While the bathroom has a window,
it’s frosted, so I didn’t want to make the space feel dark. If you have a powder
room upstairs, regardless of window or not…I say go bold. Go black, navy…oh
luxe. However, in a basement you’re trying to create the feeling of not being
underground.
Storage. Does your bathroom need it? You’ll
likely need somewhere to at least put your towels. All the hardware in the
basement came from Wakefield, ON when my friend Lisa and I went on our girlstrip.
The cage on the clock lends to
the industrial feel but next to the soft towels it just feels right.
You know how much I’m in love with the
light but can I also tell you about the faucet? I wanted something that wasn’t
traditional but still functional, given that this bathroom is going to be used
a lot. I chose this faucet by Delta … a long time ago when I first shared my bathroom
inspiration board.
I loved that the chrome matched the chrome in the shower and
on the light.
The waterfall effect gave it that edge factor and Delta’s quality
is amazing.
Remember when I shared with you the new Touch 20 that we installed
in our kitchen? That’s been a lifesaver. The kids love the faucet. Anytime someone
wants to see how the basement is coming along, the kids take them right down to
see how the water comes out of the faucet J A few
added touches here and there and voila! A bathroom that we love.
Do you see the
toilet paper holder there? I made it in five minutes at the hardware store.
Stay tuned, I’ll share the deets with you soon.
Keep it Beautiful.
I LOVE it! I'm jealous of the heated floor - I want that so bad. That was quite the job, well done!
