Well, its been 6 weeks in the making… Today I am excited (and honestly relieved- this room was a lot of work!) to share with you my bathroom reveal from the One Room Challenge!!!
Are you ready for this?! If you need to catch up, here are the links to week 6, week 5, week 4, week 3, week 2 and week 1. Let’s start with the before… Lots of black, the ugliest floors, a scratched up vanity:
before
And here is the after (!!!):
after
The vanity from Overstock is one of the first thing that went in the space. I’m loving the extra storage and that marble top is to die for!The big look in this room is definitely the wallpaper. The modern floral is fun and brings in the pink I love in every room. It is temporary wallpaper (like a big sticker) so it’ll come off nicely if I ever tire of it. Note, this wallpaper only comes in small 48″ long pieces. It’s perfect if you are only doing the top or bottom half of a wall.
Above the sink, I choose a big round mirror from Overstock. I love the super thick gold frame and how beautifully it coordinates with the Kichler Jasper sconces.
The subway tile is one of my favorite elements. It is subtle, classic, and upscale. And so much work to install! The subway tile it topped with a simple pencil tile. I was going to use a chair rail tile, but this more modern and streamlined look worked out better. Bless my husband’s heart for laying tile every spare minute he had. It is stunning!
To the right of the vanity is the toilet. I love the traditional lines of this toilet! I know it sounds funny, but it really is pretty. It came with a chrome handle that we switched out for a brass one that matches the faucet on the sink. It’s all in the details!
Above the toilet, I hung a simple brass and acrylic wall shelf. I tried to keep the art (all from Minted) more subtle to not fight with the wallpaper.
shower
For the shower curtain, I again wanted something subtle with beautiful details. I went with this pink French tassel shower curtain that I think is just perfect (plus it is on sale, so you’ve got to love that)! It is hung on a brass curtain rod from Overstock.
floors
And now, let’s talk about the floors! I choose a hex tile with a flower pattern. I love it! It was a pain to install (just being honest!), but I think it adds a lot of character.
wood elements
I wanted to add some wood elements into the bathroom to warm it up. This wood stool is surprisingly rustic for the space, but I really think it adds the perfect texture to the white floors and walls. I made the tray in the bathtub, so stay tuned for a super simple DIY for that! The tray really elevates my bath time. Now I have somewhere for my book/tablet to watch a show- it’s amazing!
The tile in the shower used to stop a few feet short of the ceiling. Now, it goes all the way to the ceiling and it makes them look so much taller!
cove
One of my favorite details of the room is the little cove we added with 2×4’s and corbels. Because the shower walls aren’t flush with the rest of the walls (since there is cement board behind the shower tile), we needed a way to break up the shower from the rest of the bathroom. This worked perfectly!
Our old shower tiles were stained, and the tub was so dirty. I’m embarrassed to even talk about it! But, man, is the after worth it!
To say we are enjoying it is an underestimate!
Alright, next to the shower I hung three hooks. This is where we put our robes/towels for easy access right out of the shower. I love how the wallpaper looks next to the subway tile! For anyone wondering, I used the grout color “warm grey” from Mapei.
towel bar
On the wall next to the vanity, is where our towels hang on a gorgeous brass towel bar from Overstock. I think all of the brass fixtures look so pretty with the hints of yellow in the wallpaper!
The vanity came with chrome hardware, so I switched it out for marble and quatrefoil knobs. I like how subtle these are and how the coordinate with the counter tops.
That’s the full reveal! What is your favorite part? I love all of the subway tile, the floors, the wallpaper. Maybe I’m biased ;)! Thank you to Overstock for sending over most of the items I used in this room. There is no way I could have done such a pretty remodel without them! I am still blown away at how many beautiful products they have on their site, plus they are super affordable (which I love and appreciate).
Thank you SO much to lindsaysalazar.com for coming out to take the most gorgeous photos for me! She captured it in a way I couldn’t (you’ve got to love a small room with no windows)!
And just for fun, let’s revisit the before and after once more!

Thanks Laura! That wallpaper was my favorite too. And I am SO glad for the extra week too!!!
I am obsessed with this bathroom! It’s so bright and cheerful. Love all the brass details. And granny florals totally speak to my soul.
Hi Melissa! Thanks! My grams had the prettiest rose floral bathroom. Maybe that inspired me without realizing it 🙂
I feel like I would start each morning in a wonderful mood if I got ready in your bathroom – I just adore everything!
Hi Lindsey! It really does make me happy! I feel like the room looks exactly how I dreamed and how I want it to feel. I love that!
Beautiful job Ashley1 I love the wallpaper, and your son is adorable!
Thanks Delia! You’ve got to love a bold patterned wallpaper!
Wow!!! I absolutely love all the color paired with the white and brass accents. Every detail is perfect!! Terrific. You must be overjoyed with the results – I am glad we are all done! Such great transformations this round.
Yes- way for being done!!! Thanks for the kind words Emily!
This is one of my favorite rooms this ORC- so fun, bright, and beautiful! I love all the pink and gold accents and the floor!! The wallpaper totally has my heart, as does the tassel shower curtain! Congratulations on an amazing job!
Thanks Laura! I love your bathroom as well! Yay to beautiful wallpaper!!!
Absolutely beautiful! I am swooning over that wallpaper! I pinned the heck out of this space. Love your style!
Thanks Ariel! Your colorful dining room is stunning! Thanks for the pins!
Absolutely ove with this design! I don’t think I would ever get out of that tub : ) I can’t believe that wall paper is temporary. What a great way to get such a pretty pattern without any serious commitment. SO BEAUTIFUL!
Thanks Michaela! Temporary wallpaper has come so far! And I love how easy it is to install!
You nailed it!! It looks so good! The wallpaper is so you. I love all the hints of brass and how you made it all come together!
Thanks! You’re so nice to take the time to comment. Best sister award 😉
So cute, I’m loving the gold accents! Our bathroom is so old the the brass fixtures are still there from the last time they were in style. After seeing this I think I might need to keep them.
Thanks Maggie! If they’re in good condition, I’d totally reuse them. Finding new brass is a little tricky since most people just replaced them.
Wow! It looks amazing! I love the wallpaper! I did a bathroom remodel also and I was dissuaded from using wallpaper above the tile but after seeing yours I’m going wallpaper shopping again. beautiful blog!
Hi Mimzy! Your bathroom is beautiful. Maybe wallpaper isn’t the best idea with all of the water, but its such a small room that the scale for a pattern is perfect. You go buy some wallpaper if it makes you happy!!!
Those sconces, that mirror, that WALLPAPER-it’s an eye candy overload! What a beautiful, sweet bathroom makeover-I just love it. An amazing ORC transformation!
Thank you Kristin! Your little boy room turned out so cute!
I love your room! All the gorgeous details are just so pretty! Well done!
Thanks Libbie! I so appreciate that!!!
Such a beautiful bathroom Ashley!!!! Love that wallpaper and all the details you changed in the space! Congrats and Cheers to us for another room done!
Love your bathroom! I am so impressed with the amount of detail in the room. The wallpaper is so fun! Love all the brass and pink accents. I did wallpaper as well for my orc and I can’t believe this is the first time I have had wallpaper in my house! Great job!!
This wallpaper is amazing! I love this room transformation! Congrats on a stunning reveal!
What a charming bath! Kudos to your husband for the excellent tile work and the corbels which are genius! From the walls to the floor to the fixtures and accessories – all spot on choices. Congratulations on a stunning ORC!
Your bathroom looks so pretty Ashley! Those floor tiles are so beautiful, and the addition of gold makes it seem regal.
Wow!!!! I love everything about this bathroom. You did an amazing job. Love everything.
I may have to steal the whole look for my daughters bathroom 😊 Curious how that beautiful wallpaper is holding up? I’ve never used the removalable kind. Thanks!
Hi Stacey,
The wallpaper has held up just great! It looks the same as when I applied it. I’d definitely recommend it. Good luck!
