Time is moving VERY fast these days- and my renovation kick off state is QUICKLY approaching (omg, omg, omg). We actually ended up being able to rent a house across the street from us for 5 months while the bulk of the work is getting done by my team at Cambridgeport Construction, whom we just finished a large job with and really enjoyed working with. I’ve ordered my appliances and the drawings are all pretty much done I just have to finish up some details and get stuff ordered ASAP! As is with most professions, I am my own worst client.
For the primary bath I want it to be classic, but still interesting. I’m skewing a little warmer than I went when I renovated my current primary bath (which will now be the guest bedroom bath)- and making a BIG choice of doing an aged brass tub. I’ve never had a primary bathroom with a tub before so Ia m going all out in my excitement. I’ve done this tub a few times in a pewter/ silver finish but I wanted to mix it up a little. The vanities will be a walnut wood and either a more modern reeded style or made to look like an older chest. Jury is still out on that one. Unlacquered brass plumbing, a warm veined marble and vinyl grasscloth walls with painted trim and lower paneling round things out.

You know I love a classic checkerboard floor- so I’m trying to source this wood grain marble to pair with whatever marble tile I go with for the shower and countertops.
Here’s the layout of the space- basically we’re taking Andrew’s office, the current laundry and the current guest room and bath to make this larger primary suite.
The vanity wall elevation- very excited to have separate vanities and a tub overlooking our pretty back yard!
Up next- the kitchen!!!! I’m struggling a little with some items left to pick!
