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.

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!
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!
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. ♥♥
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!
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. 🙂
So lovely! Your vision was super! Darling daughters too!
🙂 Thank you!!
Excellent job!
THANKS! 🙂
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
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 it!! The girls are precious! Would love to know where you got the floor ….
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!
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
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!!
Looks beautiful and I can’t wait for you to reveal where you purchased the mirrors.
the bathroom is gorgeous – and that photo of the girls (with the baby on the floor) is priceless!!! Congratulations!
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!!
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.
Just BEAUTIFUL! Oh, and the bathroom is too!
Its beautiful! Where did you find the mirrors?
Thank you, Carrie! The mirrors are from Wayfair. https://rstyle.me/n/dmrygpb5ky7
Looks fabulous!
