A Warm Modern Midcentury Guest Bathroom Reveal - One Room Challenge Week 6
It’s finally here - reveal day for the Fall 2018 One Room Challenge! Did that six weeks fly by or what? I’m thrilled that our guest bathroom is done - it’s the only room in the house right now that is. You can find all of the sources at the bottom of this post, FYI! Before we dive into the reveal of our newly renovated warm modern midcentury guest bathroom, let me take you back to where this room started…

Yikes. I am SO glad to have that photo in the past, and introduce you to our brand-spankin’ new guest bathroom!
Hard to believe that is the same room, right?! I am in love with pretty much every element of this spacious guest bathroom. I really tried to walk the line between modern and vintage, balancing both elements in the space. The stacked subway tile, plumbing fixtures, overhead semi-flush mount, black photo frames, and the round gold mirror all fall on the modern end of the spectrum.
To ensure the space didn’t feel too sterile or cold, I made sure to add a heavy dose of vintage pieces, textiles, and greenery. To me, no room is complete without some greenery and/or flowers, and there is no shortage of those in this bathroom! The hanging planters and eucalyptus in the shower give the space a spa-like feel, and I don’t hate it. This little bathtub stool that I snagged from Home Goods warms up this corner, and it’s the perfect place to set a book and a candle (or, let’s be honest, a glass of wine) while you’re winding down in a bath!
As I mentioned last week, I struggled with what to hang over the toilet. I finally decided to use a modern black frame that matches the other art in the room, and add a vintage map of Florence that I found on Etsy. I love the color palette of this map.
Adding a shower niche was a must for me in here - I hate not having a dedicated place to set toiletries, and on the sides of the tub or in an ugly over-the-shower-head caddy just doesn’t do it for me.
I wanted to keep the styling on the vanity pretty simple, since there’s a lot going on visually with the hanging planters. These little canisters hold q-tips and cotton balls - two absolute necessities in a bathroom if you ask me! I snagged those little brass shoes from an estate sale I went to the other month, and I am obsessed with them. Don’t be shocked if you see them appear in other places in my house for photoshoots! ;)
On to the open linen closet.
Overall I am thrilled with how this room turned out, and participating in the One Room Challenge was a great kick in the pants to actually get one space in our house completed! I love this bathroom, and am pretty jealous of our guests who get to use it. It’s definitely way cooler than our master bathroom (and will remain cooler until we tackle that renovation in 2+ years…).
As always, don’t forget to check out all of the other participants’ room reveals this week - there are some amazing ones for sure.

Guest Bathroom Paint and Progress - One Room Challenge Week 3
Thanks for coming back for Week 3 of the One Room Challenge! We actually got a lotttt finished this past week, but for the sake of stretching my posts out over 6 weeks, I’m going to focus on the paint and a few other details, and save the vanity for next week!
We started painting this room a couple weeks ago, but then had to mud some additional things, so it actually got finished being painted this week. The paint is Valspar that’s color-matched to Farrow and Ball’s Pigeon (because let’s be honest, we’re already so over budget on this house and I’m not spending $100+ for a gallon of paint right now!) We already had the paint on hand because we’ll be using it on part of our fireplace wall (that’s another project for another day) and I’m just obsessed with it lately. Our kitchen cabinets are actually pretty much this color as well, so I guess you could say I’m feelin’ it for this house!

I also got a window shade for this room, even though the window already has privacy glass. It was more to add texture and make the window look more finished, and Ryan only threw out a few dozen expletives while hanging it up. ;)
In other fun news, we now have another functioning toilet in the house! Woop woop. You can see it making it’s first public appearance in the photo below. We also hung up a hook for towels near the shower, hung the mirror, and added hanging planters above the vanity. I’ll talk all about the vanity in next week’s post - it’s one ball of plumbing putty away from being completely done and useable!
My vision for this space is getting more and more solidified each week, and I already love how it’s coming together! What do you think of these hanging planters? Would you ever try them in your bathroom? I love the color of the terra-cotta pots against that green - mmmmmm!
Don’t forget to check up on everyone else’s One Room Challenge progress! I can’t believe we’re already half way through, and will be seeing everyone’s finished spaces in a few short weeks.

The Best bathroom accessories from Amazon
I don't know about you guys, but in our house we are total Amazon Prime junkies. Why get out of your pajamas and trudge to an actual store when you can get everything delivered to your house. For free. In two days. Amiright?!
Amazon isn't exactly the first source that springs to mind when I think of house-related purchases, but I realized that almost all of the accessories in both of our bathrooms came from Amazon! Not only do we absolutely love all of these products, but they were all super affordable too - can't beat that! Check out our favorites below.

MASTER BATHROOM
We have this guy (x2) in our master bathroom and couldn't love it more. These faucets were easy to install, have held up fabulously over the last two years, and look pretty fantastic if I do say so myself. For just over 50 bucks, these are a definite winner! We also got the matching drains to go with them, and our vessel sinks. Whew!
The light fixtures in our master bath are also from - you guessed it - Amazon! I love the look of school house lights, but man can they get pricey. I found these two that together are under $100. It says they are oil rubbed bronze, but they really read as more of a matte black light fixture - which I prefer.
I wanted to find a matte black shower curtain rod, and ended up purchasing the same one for both our master and the guest bathroom because I liked it that much.
GUEST BATHROOM
Speaking of our guest bathroom...as I started writing this post I realized that the vast majority of stuff in there was also purchased on Amazon. Ha. Like our faucet, drain, sink, light fixture, shower curtain rod, toilet paper holder.... yeesh!
