My husband’s job is to use his prior expertise in construction to make sure the work is done correctly and to code.
Friends that know how to shop and keep secrets…now, those are the kind of friends you need to keep.
Our goals for the remodeling the en suite bathroom were the following:
- Make the space timeless and fitting with our hundred-year-old home
- Find affordable fixtures that look high end
- and DIY as much as possible
Our choices may not be for everybody but they can be a guide for when you’re planning on doing your own bathroom makeover.
So with all that being said, I’m sharing the budget breakdown and all the sources of our master bathroom.

Total cost $4800
*The shower enclosure was a gift from my parents and the concrete countertop materials were given in exchange for our honest review. I still included those numbers in the final budget so you could get an idea of what a bathroom remodel of this size and style would cost you. Our cost came out to be $2700.

I also wanted to share some news with all of you. We feel so honored to say that the built-in bed we made for Taylor’s room will be featured in the October issue of This Old House magazine! This will be the first time anything we’ve done has been in a magazine and I’m truly ecstatic!

16 Mar 2019hello, this bathroom piece is fabulous and inspiring -thanks for so much detail! we are renovating the tiniest bathroom in a tiny season beach cottage. i would like to install a shower similar to yours shown here, however in my search there is a dramatic range of prices. the cheap ones (like the one you include a link to on eBay) concern me- that they come with installation problems. did you have any issues installing yours? was is compliant with US plumbing codes or fittings? thank you!

16 Mar 2019Thank you so much for visiting our blog and I’m glad you like the details we put into our master bathroom. I asked my husband about the shower since he did the installation. First of all, he said it didn’t come with instructions. The other thing he wanted to mention is you have to really pay attention to the finish wall depth with this particular model. Other than that, the fittings are compliant with US plumbing fittings. For our area, there are no particular codes that deal with the type of faucets we can use, but we followed code as far as installation. Now, would I purchase this model again? I’d pay more for a shower faucet that has a thermostatic valve. This one does not. And If I was hiring out the work for installation, I would’ve have bought something that was easier to install. We took our chances with this particular model, but luckily it’s worked well with no issues so far. Have fun renovating your beach cottage bathroom!
