The Ensuite Half Bath

Adding a half bath to the primary bedroom is a huge upgrade to this house.  And while it isn't a huge space, I want it to be really pretty and really functional.  So I've spent lots of time figuring out all the details to make that happen.

The layout was a bit tricky, thanks to the sloped ceiling - that part of the room isn't tall enough to stand upright.  We're going to put some storage space under the slope and have pulled the toilet far enough forward to be functional.  

The sloped ceiling pushed the toilet forward from the back wall

For the finishes, the first area I focused on was the tile floor.  I decided to splurge a bit, since it's a small space it didn't completely destroy my budget.  I can't tell you how much I love this tile!  It's a mix of lava rock and cement and the mix of matte finish and sheen gives it some life and vibrancy.

It was also a bear to install!  
 

But once the grout was installed, I loved how it came out!! 

There is room for a small vanity.  I chose this 30 inch wide vanity that will provide a couple of drawers and space for towels and baskets.  

We did a test fit to make sure it would work and I'm thrilled with it.  I wanted to make sure there was a lot of storage.  So the vanity provides some space as does the Pottery Barn medicine cabinet.

For even more storage, Kyle's building custom storage cabinets under the sloped ceiling.  Plus, we have lots of finishing touches planned.  We will be adding a beadboard wainscoting around the perimeter.  Oh, and did I mention wallpaper???  Stay tuned to see it all come together!!
