If you’re wondering what all this is about, I joined the One Room Challenge, hosted semi-annually by Linda at Calling it Home and attempted to renovate our downstairs bathroom in just six weeks. It was the first room we planned to renovate when we bought the house and it turned out to be pretty much the last room we touched, mostly because it was just daunting.
And here’s where it ended up.
To fully appreciate how far it has come, you have to remember what it looked like before. Highlights, or rather lowlights, include highly textured walls, pickled pink wood, a pink counter, weird shower insert, rope sink, shiny gold (not in a good way) hardware and, of course, a boob light.
To find out more specifics about how this project all went, check out previous weeks here:

Thanks for following along!
Just as I thought it would be…Grrrreat.
Thanks Lisa!
Stunning! Classy, casual – exactly how I imagine you to be! Love, love, love the Roman blind – it fits perfectly with the floor tile. Well done, Erin!!
Thanks so much, Heather! I take that as high praise after how lovely your bathroom turned out.
Absolutely fabulous. I love how the edges of the leaves in the fabric echo the mirror. That is one terrific fabric design (says the woman with the textile design degree).
I never noticed that before but you are so right. Now that it's up, I really feel like the fabric brings the whole room together much more than I had anticipated.
Yay! So glad you are finished with your fabulous re-do — even if there is one thing you're still waiting on. Your new bathroom looks SO much nicer, especially the new tile and shower area, which are really elegant. Finally you've checked off the project you saved for last… 🙂 -Beth
Thanks so much Beth!
Looks so good. I'll admit the floor tile threw me when I first saw it go down, but it pulled together nicely!

It's spectacular! I love the way you've done the shower, a real touch of class. What a transformation.
Thanks!
Love every bit of it! Fabulous!
Thank you so much!
Yay! You're done! It is beautiful. Your tile–and tiled chair rail isjust amazing–and of course, that floor! Unbelievable it all happened in just six short weeks, isn't it. Love your fabric choice. I put a sewing machine needle through my finger in seventh grade Home Ec, too. Until now, I'd thought i was the only person in the world who had done that!
I thought I was the only person who had done that too. I feel much better knowing that I'm not alone.
That is perfection in a bathroom. It looks like something in a high-end design mag. Bravo! (And thank you BTW for the Stitch Fix referral, I hope you like it!)
Thanks for the nice comments, Katie!
Wow, love it all! That fabric is beautiful and really sets the tone for the room.
Thanks, Lori. I'm glad to have found it.
Amazing transformation! Roman shades seem to be all the rage in room reveals from this ORC.. I have a faux one in my office reveal:)

They are such a nice way to add some softness to a room without full on curtains. Love your office!
Great transformation!!! You did a great job with tying all the materials together. Looks really, really nice.
Thanks, Erin.
Amazing and so elegantly simple. I love every surface but that floor tile is still my favorite!!
Thanks! I still get a little giddy when I look at the floor too!
WOW!!!!! Love your bathroom, for such a small space you truly maximized it's full potential! Truly one of my faves for this series! Congrats and CHEERS to us for another room done!
Thank you!
One of my favorites rooms!

I'm humbled to have been included with so many great rooms. Thanks, Erin!
Goodness, this is lovely. I was really enjoying the whole post right until my legs went numb when I read about your sewing machine injury!!! Lol. This turned out so well!!! What a major transformation!!!!
Thanks Stephanie!
Hi Erin! I just wanted to let you know that out of 227 rooms during the last ORC, your room was one of the most inspirational for me! Thank you and hope you can check the post out and see why I thought it was so! Have a great day! http://buhayatbahay.blogspot.com/2016/05/orc-inspirations-lessons-learned.html
Wow, thank you so much, Vel! I'm really honored to be included among those fantastic rooms.
Your bathroom is stunning. I love the floor with the vanity and mirror. You did an amazing job!
What a transformation! It's so fresh and bright. Great job!
What a spa worthy bathroom! It is luxurious. I'm in love with that Roman shade. And what a difference taking out the surround made! Awesome job!
OMG! How did I miss this one??? So good, so peaceful. And that vanity/mirror combo is fabulous. Great job!
Beautiful! Do you have any info on the shower door? Was it custom by a glass company, and did you manage to do a swing door with a hinge?
Beautiful! Can you give more details on the shower door? Is it off the shelf or did you have to go custom from a glass fitter? Did you end up fitting in a swing door or is it a slider? Thanks!
What a beautiful room! Love your design and variety of finishes you expertly pulled together.
