"THE RENAISSANCE WOMAN'S BATH"
Today I am sharing a bathroom makeover done by my daughter, Kim. In my opinion she is a true "Renaissance Woman". Kim lives in a small town in Illinois and has raised two of the finest young men you will ever meet. This girl can do anything, flip houses, sew, create, write, teach and make something out of nothing .
This is her bathroom makeover
Her old house is about a hundred years old and sits on farmland outside town. This bathroom had been "updated" to a formica covered vanity, with large gold knobs, flowered paneling, vinyl floor covering and a decrepit toilet. It was gutted to studs, floor and ceiling joists .
 |
| This awesome tub was the only thing that stayed |
Kim did all the tile work on the walls and floor herself.
 |
| This view of the shower curtain is close to the true color of the walls |
 |
| This is where the formica covered vanity sat |
 |
| It was hard to get a good pic with all the reflections |
Her handyman is a native of this small town. He shakes his head in wonder at some of the things she brings in and asks him to install.
The handyman couldn't understand why anyone would want something that looked like this. I guess it wasn't up to Ace Hardware standards which is all they have in town.
The towels let you know that this her personal bathroom. It is right outside her bedroom.
Kim does most of her shopping on the internet.
I am not sure of the sources for most things.
Toilet: Internet
Chandelier: Old house she was flipping
Mirror: Internet
Heated towel bar: Internet
Shower curtains(2): Dillards
I hope you enjoyed seeing her hard work. It was really a mess previously. I wish I had before pics. She has another bathroom ripped down to the studs. Will probably be spring or summer before I can share that but I will.
I am not up to doing most projects these days. I have been perusing my photo file in order to join the fun.

Hi Ginger! Oh, look at this most wonderful bathroom. I know you're so proud of your daughter and I just can't believe she can can do all of that work! The tiles are so pretty and I can't lay tile but I do know it's time consuming and has to be perfect and hers is.
Now you know I love those towels - Mine is bigger! So cute. Be sure you tell her how fantastic I think she is.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Ginger, that bathroom is fabulous. She tiled it herself, wow! My husband can tile, but not me. I help grout though. Love the toilet and that mirror is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing this.
I am truly amazed by your daughter's talents, Ginger. She must have taken after you. Love the bathroom!..Christine
OMGOSH...this is the very bath I dream of. It is ADORABLE and needs to be in a beautiful MAGAZINE. Send photos to Romantic Homes and I just KNOW they will print them.
Tell Kim that she did an AWESOME job...:))
Oh, and I just found a recipe for CRUMPETS so they will show up with my next tea...how fun!!

Hello, I'm new to your blog. I saw the title to this post somewhere and thought I'd take a look. Very nice post and blog! I'm beginning to gather ideas for some home improvements hubby and I want to do this year and the bathroom is near the top of the list. Love what your daughter has done...she's very talented! I'll bookmark this site and come back again.
Kim is one talented lady and she did a wonderful job in such a small space. It looks so fabulous...by the way, I live in a small town in Illinois too!
Wow! That bathroom is beautiful! I've always loved the black and white tile.
No doubt she got her design talent from her momma :)
Have a great week Ms. Ginger!
Stunning! And I'm especially in love with the curvy mirror on top of the other mirror. Everything just sparkled!
love those floor tiles! she did a great job!
Wow! This bathroom is amazing! Your daughter is so talented. I love the black and white tile I know that was quiet a job.The vanity with the curved top and double mirror is lovely... and the chandelier... I just love it all.
LOL!!! The towels are so cute!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. No, I have not studied art unless endlessly watching HGTV counts. I just picked up a paint brush and started painted after I quit working outside the home 10 years ago. Practice makes perfect.
Wow!!! Thanks MOM for making my Little Bathroom a BLOG Star. The room has been blushing all day long! Love ya!
It looks fabulous! And she did all the tile work herself! Totally impressed!
beautiful transformation! I especially love the chandy - I have them everywhere. Thanks so much for stopping by my page this weekend! -diane

Hi Ginger! Thanks for yur visit and your sweet comments! I wasn't the one who asked the color of that lovely bathroom. I think it was the person just before my previous comment! It is a lovely color, though! Happy week!...hugs...Debbie
What a beautiful job your daughter did on her bath. Love the 2 mirrors!
Thank you for stopping by my blog, visitors always welcome!

Your daughter is one very talented, creative lady. She has a head full of great designs and carries them out. Never have I seen a chandler in a bathroom. She did a marvelous job and wish she would come to my house.
Hi Ginger.....thanks for following my blog! I just signed up to follow yours, also. I think we have a lot in common as we both seem to have all grandsons and like so many of the same things. Your daughter's bathroom is amazing....love the tiles and the sink.....actually, the entire bathroom.
Ginger, I agree - your daughter is amazing! Love this bathroom! All of her selections are beautiful. Can you send her to live with me for a few months? I've got some projects for her! laurie
Great transformation! My favorite part? "ripped down to the studs" when referring to the next project! I'm a demo gal myself because then I know the project is FINALLY going to happen! Stop by if you get a chance. I just posted my BEST tablescape ever!
Incredible, especially that she did the tile work herself. Turned out great.
This is gorgeous!
I just finished by bathroom reno; we have similar tastes, I think!
Come on over to the Beach Bungalow and have a peak!

Hi Ginger, FYI I gave you a little holla on my blog...X0
Absolutely amazing! Your daughter is certainly talented. I am so glad to meet you! I came over via Debbie's place ;o)
My hubby and I have lived right outside Savannah since 2004. (courtesy of the U.S. Army). I love the architecture of all the old homes and squares of downtown Savannah.
Blessings & Aloha!
Please do come by and visit and if you do, please leave a comment so that I know you were by.
What an awesome job....I wish she lived near and could do both of mine.....love her style

I just saw this at Kim's. Wow! Ginger this is a fabulous bathroom. Kudos to your daughter.
Awesome job!! I like the mix of black, white, blue, wood, and shine. The ceiling is cool. I love seeing a high tank toilet, I'll have to show this to my husband since he sells these on the internet.
Love it! What a gal! Thanks for your visit too.
Wow! That mirror over your sink is gorgeous! I love the black and white too. Very nice.

Hi Ginger,
Your daughter did an outstanding job!!! Her bath is now a dream bathroom.
We have plans to gut our baths. 100 year old homes have a lot of updating to do.
Thanks for the inspiration.

Dee
This is an AMAZING transformation! It is beautiful...and I LOVE your floor tiles!!!
