Our Small Bath Reveal! (+ How We Created a Spa-Like Shower System)

This post is in partnership with Lowe’s.

It’s bathroom reveal day, and we couldn’t be more excited! We’re excited to show you, we’re excited to have the ​​​​​​​last untouched room in our Chicago home completed, and we’re excited to have heated floors. Heated floors! We worked with a team of people to help us get from point A to B… to C to D to Z. Our favorite local designer and contractor got us off and running, and Lowe’s helped us with the tools needed to execute the sweetest little bathroom we could imagine. The entire process took close to 3 months, with the majority of that time being spent fine-tuning the details. (I’m a perpetual fusser.)​​​​​​​

Our small bath is located just off of our dining room (we’ll call that Chicago-old-house charm), and it’s the room used by our guests and friends. It was virtually untouched since the day we moved into this home – 6 years ago! – because we couldn’t bear the thought of spending an ounce of energy on a space that functioned so poorly. The toilet was almost 6″ off of the wall, the floor was several inches higher than the adjoining room, the drywall had holes in it(!) and the shower leaked like a sieve. The before-and-afters of this room may be one of our very favorites, so let’s get to it!

Perhaps the reason we waited so long to renovate this room was because Scott and I were in disagreement over how we wanted it to function. Initially, I was very against keeping a shower off of the dining room, and I was adamant that a half bath would make much more sense. He disagreed wholeheartedly, saying that a home with two full baths was more valuable, and, well, guess who won? (He was totally right, by the way.)

We struggled with a layout that would allow us to change the shape of the old corner shower, which only furthered my argument that this room was simply too small for a shower. I’ll admit I was being very shortsighted, and now I can’t imagine this room without a shower! Eventually, this will be Lucy’s bathroom, and all of us sharing one shower could’ve created challenges down the line. So we compromised; the shower would stay if we could make the room larger by stealing space from the shared wall of the workshop.

The Shower | Before

Creating a Spa-Like Shower System

Pushing back that wall changed everything! Essentially, the new floor plan gave us the depth we needed to enlarge the shower, and while we were at it, we also moved the vanity to the same wall as the toilet. This allowed for us to have the shower span the entire back wall, which was an immediate upgrade in scale and possibilities. The transom window is a piece of frosted glass, bringing more light into the bathroom while maintaining privacy.

After landing on the Cassidy line of fixtures from Delta Faucet, the rest of our decisions tumbled into place seamlessly. We initially used the Cassidy faucet in our garden bathroom renovation, and we loved it so much, we knew the same line could have a happy home here, too! Lowe’s offers online and in-store curated collections from some of our favorite bath brands (think: Delta and Kohler), and we loaded up our virtual shopping cart with everything we needed. We purchased every last fixture, plus our Kohler toilet, allen + roth vanity and lighting online, and we had it all shipped to our home for free with our MyLowe’s account. (All items are linked at the bottom of this post for you!)

Tip: Every purchase you make online and in-store saves to your MyLowe’s account, making returns and exchanges super simple. With a whole-room renovation, this became an invaluable resource for us!

We paired our rain shower head + arm with this handheld sprayer, and we had them streamlined with this diverter. The diverter has a thermostatic valve that allows us to keep our favorite temperature set, as well as the option to choose the shower head, the sprayer, or both!

Our glass shower wall and door was custom cut by a local contractor, and in this small room, we wanted to keep things feeling as open as possible. Because of this, we chose a small chrome ball knob (on a door that swings in or out!), and we asked that the glass be taller than the height of the shower arm (our final glass height was 90″). The taller glass keeps most of the steam in the shower, which feels very spa-like and has been such a treat.

The shower curb was fabricated from stone remnants, which was a big cost save. Our contractor gave us the final measurements, and we took those numbers to a fabricator near home and asked if they had marble-like quartz remnants that could work. A few options were given to us, and we fell in love with Noble Grey by Cesarstone quartz option:

We carried the same quartz remnants into our shower niche and wall ledge, and we think it looks so beautiful against the subway tile! The niche placement, long and low, is tucked onto the same wall as our Delta Cassidy fixtures, which conceals it nicely from view when you walk into the room, we think.

Problem Solving the Soffit, Lighting + Vents

Perhaps a photo of the ceiling isn’t exactly expected, but this is a before and after that made a massive impact on our small bathroom. Let me show you where we started and where we ended up, and then I’ll get into those details:

The Ceiling | Before

The Ceiling | After

Our contractor realized that the soffit for our furnace vent could be removed completely, and the vent itself could lay flush on the wall! Hip, hip! With the new layout, we also moved the exhaust fan to the center of the room, and we flanked it with two recessed lights – one for the shower, one for the main area. We also added a sconce above the recessed medicine cabinet, and finally, we couldn’t resist the Jaxson sconce as another pretty detail. Can one room have too many lighting options? We think not.

Note: The Jaxson sconce is currently unavailable, but this one is really similar! We also considered this handsome globe sconce, which is a steal.

Upgrading the Vanity and Toilet

We recently shared the install of our vanity and toilet, and we’ve been so pleased with our choices. The marble-top vanity is solid and beautiful, and it’s especially sweet when topped with our widespread faucet. And because all of our plumbing fixtures are polished chrome, we did a quick swap of the hardware and added these. (The original hardware was stainless, and while nice, this was an easy fix and better suited to our bathroom!) Another trip down memory lane is in order, don’t you think?

Vanity | Before

We chose this Kohler one piece toilet for it’s sleek lines and smaller footprint, plus, it’s easier to clean! I realize this is a small detail (wait, is there such a thing as a detail too small?), but the flush handle is awfully cute. We like to think that she’s winking at us.

Adding Art + Greenery

We knew that our Libby silhouette would be an adorable addition to this room, especially because Lucy loves her so, so much. It’s a nice contrast on an otherwise empty wall:

Atop the wall ledge, we gathered up fresh greenery and layered them with this small greeting card. (I’m forever using greeting cards as art prints!) Something that Scott and I have vowed to each other, is the promise to allow Lucy to feel. This print is a subtle reminder that, yes, it’s okay.

And see that small bud vase below? That’s an old Pine-Sol bottle that we found hidden in the walls during the demolition phase of this renovation! We soaked off the label, and now it’s a tiny reminder of this journey.

Customizing Tile for a Vintage Feel

The tile in this room has come a long way (baby)! Prior to us, it had been layered so many times that you had to take a physical step up into the bathroom. (If only we had a nickel for every time someone tripped – oops!) We were excited to peel back those layers and create a custom rosette design by mixing these black + white hexagon tiles, and – this is so exciting – we sprung for heated floors! The tile in this bathroom was always so painful in the winter against bare feet, and we can’t wait to test them out this year as the weather starts to cools down.

Flooring + Tile | Before

Flooring + Tile | After

While the floor tile has a vintage look, we opted against traditional subway tile, and instead, we chose this Cloe tile in white. It has a lot of variation, which is impossible to capture in a photograph, and yet it’s so stunning in person! Because there was already a lot of movement in the wall tile, we chose bright white unsanded grout, which we think allows the subtle color pattern to really shine.

Mixing Metals Adds Interest + Warmth

While all of our plumbing fixtures are polished chrome, you know that we can’t resist mixing metals whenever possible! Our wall sconces are a warm brass, and we think it adds a touch of whimsy – especially when paired with the pink board and batten. Because there’s a lot of metal tones in the room, we kept the mirror simple with this frameless recessed cabinet, which almost blends away.

      We usually use NO spacers! Most tile will have a teeny tiny easement around the edge for grout, which is more than enough.ReplyCancel

  • Sarah6.24.19 - 8:49 AM

    This renovation is so inspiring!! One question – did you purchase the matching Bedrosians Chloe pencil edge tile (they do not sell it at Lowe’s, but I found it on their website)? If not, what tile did you use to finish off the shower tile edge? Thank you in advance!ReplyCancel

    • Kim6.24.19 - 8:56 AM

      Ooh, good question! I should have addressed that. We picked up a light grey pencil tile from Lowe’s (because you’re right – we didn’t see the Bedrosians pencil tile at the store), and it worked out PERFECTLY.ReplyCancel

      • Sarah6.24.19 - 12:12 PM

        Oh, awesome! Would you mind sharing the link for that? We are going to use this tile for our shower renovation because of how beautiful your space turned out! Thanks again!!ReplyCancel

        • Kim6.24.19 - 2:48 PM

          We used these! They’re a perfect match, especially because there’s so much variation in the Bedrosian.ReplyCancel

            Perfect! Thank you so much for sharing!!

    This is truly fantastic! I love the shower tile it is dreamy.ReplyCancel

  • Kimberly6.24.19 - 4:06 PM

    Hi Kim- what is the square footage of the final Reno? We have a tiny master bathroom which is awfully outdated and would love to do something similar!ReplyCancel

  • Elizabeth Boas6.24.19 - 7:01 PM

    Kim 
    Wow – what an inspiration.  What grout did you use on your floor?ReplyCancel

    • Kim6.25.19 - 8:41 AM

      It was the charcoal color form Lowe’s!ReplyCancel

  • Natalie6.26.19 - 12:04 PM

    What made you decided to make that little ledge behind the toilet? Just to continue the ledge from the shower or is there some other purpose for it? ReplyCancel

  • Jess7.10.19 - 8:02 AM

    Question – we are considering using the same shower head and arm in our new master bath and I’m curious…does it dump water straight down on your head like a traditional rain shower?  I see that it has a bit of a tilt…does that make it act a bit more like a traditional shower head (in the angle of water)?  I’m asking because I love the look and size, but I don’t love how traditional rain shower heads just dump water straight down on you.  Who can wash their hair like that?!ReplyCancel

    • Kim7.10.19 - 6:32 PM

      Great question, Jess! The shower head is ‘rain head’ in style only – but you can actually adjust the angle just like any shower head! It’s awesome.ReplyCancel

  • Meaghan7.15.19 - 6:00 PM

    A beautiful transformation!!! Will you consider a post that goes into more detail about your heated floor? Like install, product info and how much depth it took up? ReplyCancel

    • Kim7.16.19 - 8:01 AM

      Our contractor handled the heated floor completely. He chose the product that he has used time and time again, and we were out of the house when they installed it, so we didn’t even see it go in! It consists of small wires that barely add any depth to the floor at all.ReplyCancel

  • Elizabeth7.17.19 - 1:09 PM

    Hi, I’m looking into using the cloe tile in my bathroom renovation and was wondering if you sealed it at all? Thanks!ReplyCancel

    • Kim7.17.19 - 1:15 PM

      We did not. We also didn’t seal the tile in our master bath, and that’s been going strong for years!ReplyCancel

  • Elizabeth Boas8.10.19 - 9:07 AM

    I am wondering what color/brand of caulk you used to seal the wall to the floor – especially in the the showerReplyCancel

  • Teresa Stout9.6.19 - 2:57 PM

    Hi,
    I love your reno!  I’m curious how you got your very clean tile edge around the transom window.  Did you use a schluter edge or similar?  We are thinking of using a similar application with this same tile and are trying to figure out how to get the sleekest edging possible…
    Thanks!ReplyCancel

    • Kim9.6.19 - 3:00 PM

      We used grey pencil tile from Lowe’s!ReplyCancel

  • Randi9.14.19 - 2:38 PM

    Hi there! I might be imagining this, but did you guys put an outlet in your medicine cabinet? Love this bathroom! ReplyCancel

  • Steph10.12.19 - 8:50 PM

    Once again I love this room! I’m sad this house is finished.  Curious…Do you guys keep or did you ever keep magazine pullouts for inspiration? Or do you just use Pinterest and the internet when you’re looking for inspiration or answers to design/diy questions? ReplyCancel

    • Kim10.13.19 - 11:51 AM

      We used to have magazine pullouts BEFORE the days of Pinterest! Right now, I think we use Instagram more than anything for our inspiration images.ReplyCancel

  • Amy10.15.19 - 9:23 PM

    Amazing work as always! I was wondering what you guys did with the window facing outside for privacy? I have a window inside my shower, and I used frosted sheets, but just realized people can clearly see my outline at night. This is a horrifying realization after living in my house for 3.5 years! I would love to know what you guys did, or if you have any suggestions! Thanks!ReplyCancel

    • Kim10.16.19 - 9:05 AM

      We have a frosted window! It’s super close to the house next door, so there’s not really a way for anyone to see in – even at night.ReplyCancel

  • Steph10.24.19 - 11:12 PM

    Did you consider changing the swing of the door so it swung in against the wall rather than pulled out? I can’t recall if it was originally that way and you switched it. Our door swings out into a small hallway and we hate it. We were going to change it but wondering why you have it this way?  It wouldn’t hit the vanity or anything would it?ReplyCancel

    • Kim10.25.19 - 7:27 AM

      It was originally this way, but because the room is so small we left it swinging out. We considered having it swing in, but.. pick and goose your battles, I guess. Haha! If yours is really bothering you, make the switch! It would be a sanity saver.❤️ReplyCancel

  • maura12.19.19 - 8:23 PM

    Love this little space so much! Do you mind sharing where you got the frame from for the card? ReplyCancel

  • Stephanie3.4.20 - 12:34 PM

    I love this bathroom so much and it is one of the main inspirations for our current half-bath renovation! Would you mind sharing how you created the pattern with the hex tiles? Is it one rosette per mosaic sheet? Did you offset the sheets to vary the placement in each row? Thanks Kim!ReplyCancel

    • Scott3.4.20 - 2:19 PM

      Hi Stephanie! Thanks for the kind words. Full disclosure, our contractor laid the tile, but we provided him with inspiration images and he went to work. There is one rosette per mosaic sheet. The rosettes in each sheet line up in a row and are not offset. If math is not your strong suit (it’s not ours!) there are also lots of options for mosaic sheets with rosettes already in place! Here’s a beautiful marble option. Hope this helps and good luck with your project!ReplyCancel

  • Amanda6.4.20 - 5:03 PM

    I’ve come back to look at this bathroom about 5837 times while planning my own reno, which has almost the exact same dimensions/layout as yours, except that my bathroom door swings INTO the room. What I’m struggling with is the shower door may then swing into the main door if it swings out, but the shower itself is not quite 3” wide, so I’m’ not sure if it CAN swing in. Sooo, what is the width of your shower door? Also, my plumber suggested putting the shower controls on the side by the door opposite the shower head, so you don’t have to reach in and get wet if you put the shower on before you get in. Is that an issue for you, or is that over-complicating it?ReplyCancel

    • Kim6.8.20 - 2:38 PM

      We would have put our shower controls on the other side if we could have, but that’s an exterior wall, which isn’t ideal. If you’re able to do that, go for it! And our shower door swings both ways. :)ReplyCancel

  • Ann6.23.20 - 9:33 AM

    Hi! Love this look! I’m curious how this wall tile has held up in terms of cleaning? I’m considering using this in an upcoming bathroom reno but didn’t know if the “waviness” of the tiles made it any more difficult to clean? Any issues with soap scum?ReplyCancel

    • Scott6.23.20 - 9:46 AM

      Hi Ann! The natural ‘waviness’ of the tile hasn’t had any impact on the way we clean the tile. It hasn’t performed any differently than any other tile we’ve used. Hope this helps!ReplyCancel

  • Ali7.18.20 - 1:19 PM

    Beautiful! I love the transformation and especially love the cloe tiles on the shower walls. Can I ask what color and trim tile you used for the shower edges? Thank you!ReplyCancel

  • Mary11.7.20 - 7:24 PM

    Hi. I am so glad I found your site! Is the cloe tile easy to clean? I’m concerned about soap scum build up. Wondering if you can use cleansers or a steam cleaner with a scrub brush? I’m partial to the steam cleaner option but not sure if it’s too aggressive for the tile?ReplyCancel

    • Kim11.7.20 - 11:10 PM

      We’ve never done steam cleaning on them, but we can attest to their ease of clean and durability!ReplyCancel

      • Diane1.24.21 - 6:30 PM

        I love the Cloe tile, and wondered with cleaning also. Did you  use an epoxy grout?  What do you use to clean? And do you wipe down after every shower? Also with the soap insert tile area, I have heard people have a hard time with that getting moldy cause of water holding there. Although just wiping down quickly would be good practice. I think these are beautiful I got some samples, although laying out did they have to mix and match and lay out as some are lighter color and some darker? Did you lay out the pattern for shades?ReplyCancel

  • Emily2.21.21 - 8:18 AM

    I’m seeing that the link to the diverter goes to the interior part (which is very helpful!) but I can’t seem to find the exterior chrome part. I really love the handle shape. Any chance you have a link, or even just a name for that? ReplyCancel

    Hi!  Love this!  Can you tell me what tile you used for the shower walls?  It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for but have such trouble picking it out based on the small samples.ReplyCancel

  • Anna6.12.21 - 4:25 AM

    Hi! I was wondering what rounded trim you used for the niche edge? It looks like it may be white schluter but I also saw in the comments that you used a gray pencil tile from Lowe’s for the outside shower edge. So maybe you used that for the niche too? Thanks!!ReplyCancel

  • Buffy9.30.21 - 5:00 PM

    Hello. I read that you guys did not use sealer on the white grout in the shower. How is the grout holding up? We have a bathroom reno coming up and would like to use white tile and white grout but are afraid white grout will stain easily. Any other color grout would make a complete diff look than what we want. ReplyCancel

    • Kim10.4.21 - 10:52 AM

      It’s holding up great! We have black grout on the floor and white on the walls. White on the walls isn’t as much of a concern as it would be on the floor, which would be much harder to keep clean.ReplyCancel

  • María2.8.22 - 2:48 PM

    Lovely.  What pink paint color + brand name did you use in bathroom?ReplyCancel

  • Becky3.22.23 - 3:29 PM

    Hello! What a beautiful bathroom update! We fell in love with Cloe tile as well, and are using it for the shower and vanity backsplash in our master bathroom renovation. I really love the look you achieved with the white grout blending in and letting the tile shine! I want to do this too, but I’m so nervous about keeping white grout looking pristine on the shower walls, especially because it will be used daily. How is yours holding up after several years? Does the shower get used very often?ReplyCancel

    • Kim3.22.23 - 5:18 PM

      This shower isn’t used daily, only when we have guests. The grout still looks pristine, but if you are concerned, even choosing a light grey grout would be a big help!ReplyCancel
