Oh my stars, y’all! We made it! And we officially have the cutest kids’ bathroom in the history of ever on the planet!
I’m only slightly biased. 😉
This space had a long journey starting with its beige beginnings when we first moved in.
Then, Robert and I gave a quick paint job to pretty much every single surface to temporarily disguise its shabbiness.
And now it is ready for two sweet little girls!

Shower and Tub
These shower walls are from the American Standard Passage Collection and they’re absolutely GORGEOUS! They look like real marble, but the material eliminates the concern about staining and maintenance, which is the tricky part about the real kind. I was not about to fight that battle.
But it’s also much cheaper than real marble, and installation is very easy. Plus, the walls come in other patterns too.
Sure beats the before by a million miles.
We picked these two Passage shower shelves to go with it so that each girl has her own (hopefully to decrease any sibling fights one day).
And we incorporated this Chatfield tub and shower faucet, which has an anti-scald valve to prevent sudden spikes in water temperature and protect the girls. It comes with WaterSense technology to decrease water usage and cut down on our water bill too… because life with kiddos is not easy on water bills.
For the tub, we went with this Ovation tub to give us a little more width and make baths feel a bit more luxurious without taking up too much precious room.
The Sinks & Vanity
One of the biggest must-haves for us in this bathroom was an open vanity because we were working in such a narrow space that even standard sized sinks were too wide to place in the room.
These American Standard Morning vessel sinks work perfectly because the size is just right and the sides aren’t too high so that our girls can still access the faucets easily.
Thankfully, we don’t need the storage anyway, thanks to a huge linen closet in here, so we adapted a console table and topped it with butcher block sealed with multiple coats of spar urethane to protect against water splashes.
And the girls still have functional drawers in it to store hair brushes and makeup (one day years from now, which I’m SO not ready for).
I chose these Quentin faucets to keep it looking feminine, and I stuck with brushed nickel since it’s a tad easier to keep clean with little ones than chrome.
And I incorporated hand towel hooks instead of rings since they’re easier for kids to hang up towels (here’s hoping anyway).
Toilet
Not even kidding. I was SO excited about this toilet. (You might be a grown-up if…)
It’s called the VorMax and it’s self-cleaning!!! Can I get a hallelujah?
It has this little Lysol cartridge inside that will clean the bowl for you every time you flush. The maid a.k.a. me is thrilled.
Linen Closet
This deep linen closet was the whole reason we weren’t worried about losing cabinet space with the open vanity table. We put it right back like we had it before because it functions perfectly for us to hold cleaning supplies, towels, hamper, extra bedding, bath toys, and toiletries. (You can see more of the details about it in this linen closet organization post.)
The best part is because we chose modern-traditional-retro touches and a mostly neutral color palette, we’ll be able to change the look of this space a little bit as the girls get older (in case they decide one day that blush is not their thing).
I love how it’ll serve them even on into the teenage years. And if we eventually want it to look more grown-up for a guest bathroom if we stay here long enough for an empty nest, it can be done.
I’m so amazed at the difference from a couple of months ago.
This cute space has so much whimsy and personality just like they do, and I think that’s why it has such a big place in my heart. It reminds me of them.
If pictures could talk, this one would be squealing for joy right now… just so you know. 😉
I’ll share more of the decorative details and sources in a later post since there are so many. But right now, I predict lots of girly bubble baths in our immediate future.

Looks fabulous!
Its beautiful! Where did you find the mirrors?
Thank you, Carrie! The mirrors are from Wayfair. https://rstyle.me/n/dmrygpb5ky7
Just BEAUTIFUL! Oh, and the bathroom is too!
OH My GOSH! WOW What a change. You are so talented. I have read about every change you made and the process you guys went through. The bathroom is so pretty and so efficiently laid out. I love all the sweet touches and particularly your beautiful daughters! Thanks for sharing your journey.
AWE, Thank you, Sue!! Thank you for following the craziness of the process.
Are those the two little girls!!?? All along as I read thru the post I thought they were teenagers by the look of the bathroom which does indeed look amazing!!! It actually already looks like an amazing guest bathroom for adults.
🙂 Yep!! They are little biddies. Thank you!!
the bathroom is gorgeous – and that photo of the girls (with the baby on the floor) is priceless!!! Congratulations!
Looks beautiful and I can’t wait for you to reveal where you purchased the mirrors.
Gorgeous! I’m sure you’re so happy to have it done! And your darling daughters are squeezably delicious!! <3 Enjoy bathtime with those angels!! Thanks for sharing!!
Oh, that is simply gorgeous! I would gladly take that bathroom for my own! Plus, I’m amazed just how stunning that black doors look in there! Love it! Good job, mom and dad. <3
Lauren, this bathroom is so pretty — and so are your two precious little gals! You and Robert have done a fabulous job with the reno. As your little gals get older, they will enjoy their new space even more!
Love it!! The girls are precious! Would love to know where you got the floor ….
Perfect! You did a great job and I’m sure your beautiful girls love it! I noticed the mirrors hang partially over the backsplash. Did you have to use a spacer of some sort behind them on the wall to compensate for the bump out of the backspace? Hope that makes sense!
Thank you! Nope! The tile wasn’t too thick so we were able to get away with hanging them with regular hanging kits.
Love the bathroom remodel. How do you like that tub? I have been looking at the same one for my guest bath. Is it big enough for adults to soak (i.e. soaker tub)?
The tub is awesome!! Waaaay better than the one we had before for sure. 🙂 https://rstyle.me/n/dms8trb5ky7
Excellent job!
THANKS! 🙂
So lovely! Your vision was super! Darling daughters too!
🙂 Thank you!!
So very pretty and functional! I love the beaded mirrors! Did you purchase them that color or refinish yourself? Where did you find them. So cute!!
Thank you, Christina. The mirrors are https://rstyle.me/n/dmrygpb5ky7 from Wayfair. These came as displayed. However, I have taken mirrors and refinished or changed the look to fit what I wanted to match a particular room. If you are interested you can search the projects on the blog. Let me know if you need any direction. 🙂
What a lovely change, it is beautiful and very functional. I also love the mirrors and envy the storage closet. Keep up the good work!
Oh, Lauren – it looks absolutely fabulous! Well done – it is perfect in every way!
And the best part? Those two cuties – what a beautiful family you have. Hugs. ♥♥
It’s beautiful! Love the taps and tiles, and the vanity is to die for. I’ve been following your blog for a while now and can’t believe how grown up those two gorgeous girls are!
Your design ideas are some of my favorites – everything is “just right”, including this beautiful make-over. Your little darlings will enjoy it for years to come! What a happy place to get clean!
Beautiful little girls! Oh. And bathroom is stunning, too. 😉
Wow, I hadn’t realized just how narrow that bathroom is until the “old” picture showing both doors. Then the picture after it with the “new” everything. That open vanity makes a huge difference in how large the room seems. Great choice with everything. It looks wonderful!
Yes! I think some people didn’t believe me when I mentioned just how crazy narrow it is in here. Between those two doors and the old vanity cabinets, it created quite a traffic jam, so I was very glad to get rid of the traditional style vanity. Thank you, Diann!!
You did an amazing job on the girls bathroom. It’s perfect! Can you please tell me what color you used on the walls. I have been looking for a perfect gray and the one you used is exactly what I have been looking for. Your little girls are just precious!
Thank you! The walls are Benjamin Moore Stonington Gray.
The girls are so lucky to live in a home with so much heart and soul! That floor is divine! You and your husband hit another homerun!
Such a beautiful bathroom! I enjoy your decorating so much and have learned a lot and copied many of your ideas. I especially liked the ideas you recently posted about using personal touches. My husband and I also honeymooned at Biltmore so I too, ordered that print! But yes, this bathroom is ‘da bomb!
Love your girls bathroom! I’m sure they’ll love it for years to come!
Would you share the name of your dark door color? I am about to be brave enough to try painting my white doors dark, and your color looks perfect, Even though I can’t quite decide if it’s a blue or a gray 🙂
Sure! It’s Benjamin Moore Wrought Iron, a very deep charcoal, almost black.
Well, this is adorable. Both the bathroom and the pics of your cute girls. They’re growing up fast. I really relate to your style. It’s my style, also. How did you define it, again?
Thanks.
Looks great…where is your blind from?
You are so talented in decorating! The bathroom is stunning, I love it and your daughters are darling.
I love it! I wish it was my bathroom…LOL!!
Lovely! Where are you closet bins from? For toilet paper?
World Market! You can find all of the sources in this post: https://www.blesserhouse.com/girls-bathroom-decor-details-and-sources/
Love the paint color, hoping to get the same one! What brand and color is the white trim through your beautiful home?
Hi, Lib!! The trim through our home is Benjamin Moore Aura paint in Simply White.
