The Hilary Home

My fiance recently bought a duplex, 750 sf on each side. Over the past few months we've been renovating it from top to bottom. Today I'm going to focus on the bathroom renovation. The bathroom in this place is TINY, barely enough room for a tub, small vanity (24"), and toilet. So to make myself feel better about the small space, I went for it with the design! No! These are not my new bathroom! I drew inspiration from my favorite color combination (Navy, Grey, Gold), found bathrooms that did this color combination (see inspiration above), and applied it to my space in a $$ saving way! See below for purchases, budget, and progress/after photos! Vanity: $250 ( Lowe's ) This Allen + Roth vanity was right on budget but with great style that fit the color scheme! An added bonus was it came with the solid surface top and integral sink all in one! Durable surface for a future rental property... sign me up! Faucet: $95 ( Lowe's ) I wanted to us...

There were a few phases to this renovation, but I'll start with my favorite renovation: my marble hall bathroom. I decided that since the footprint of this bathroom was so small I was going to make this bathroom my dream bathroom. Okay, so maybe not that spectacular. But for a small space I really went all out, and learned a lot from it. These are the Home Depot finishes I chose: Floor/Shower Accent:  MSI Greecian White Basket Weave 12 in x 12 in  ($12.98/sf) Wall Tile:  Ivy Hill Tile Calacatta 4in x 8in Polished Marble Subway Tile  ($15.83/sf) Vanity:  allen & roth Moravia 36 in White Single Sink Bathroom Vanity with Carrara Marble Top  ($400) Mirror:  Style Sele...
