We FINALLY finished our basement bathroom! We’ve been working on it for months, learning how to tape and texture, tile, do our own trim, and all of the extra finish work that takes so much time!
My parents had framed it out and helped us finish the Sheetrock, which was awesome!
As seen in one of my previous posts, I outlined how we tiled the floor and the wall, which were quite the projects!
Our tile wall is my favorite part about our bathroom. I feel like it really gives it a special touch that you don’t see in most bathrooms – especially a basement bathroom!
Every time I look at our bathroom, I am so shocked that we did it all ourselves! It reminds me of a bathroom from a magazine or HGTV!
I am obsessed with how everything ties in together, and if you’re interested in what we used, I compiled a list of everything to make it easier for your own project!
Tile:
- Floor – Marazzi Montagna Rustic Bay 6 in. x 24 in. Glazed Porcelain Floor and Wall Tile (14.53 sq. ft. / case)
. We used the extras from our kitchen floor to do our bathroom floor.
- Wall – These are what we used for the accent strip, from Lowe’s! Our big white subway tiles can be found here, also from Lowe’s.
- Trim – Benjamin Moore White Dove – our local hardware store carries Benjamin Moore paint, but both Home Depot and Lowe’s do not.
Grout:
- Floor – Custom Building Products Polyblend #122 Linen 7 lb. Sanded Grout
- Wall – Custom Building Products Polyblend #381 Bright White 25 lb. Sanded Grout, Whites
Paint:
- Walls – BEHR Premium Plus Ultra 5 gal. #W-B-710 Almond Cream Flat/Matte Interior Paint
. This is one of my very favorite colors! The color is very subtle, but it is just enough off-white to give a room a little bit more color. We wanted to keep our bathroom pretty light, and this was the perfect choice!
- Ceiling – BEHR Premium Plus 5 gal. White Flat Ceiling Interior Paint, Ultra Pure White
. I ALWAYS use this for ceilings! I like ceilings to have no gloss whatsoever. This helps them to really look more professional and very different from the walls.
Vanity:
- Glacier Bay Lancaster 36 in. W x 19 in. D Bath Vanity in White with Colorpoint Vanity Top in Maui
- Vanity Light – Designers Impressions Juno Polished Chrome 3 Light Wall Sconce / Bathroom Fixture
. My mom found this light on Amazon, and it was much cheaper than what we had seen at both Home Depot and Lowe’s! They have a really wide selection of lights on Amazon, which was great to discover!
- Faucet – American Standard Chatfield 4 in. Centerset 2-Handle Bathroom Faucet in Polished Chrome
. My mom found this light on Amazon, and it was much cheaper than what we had seen at both Home Depot and Lowe’s! They have a really wide selection of lights on Amazon, which was great to discover!Mirror:
- Glacier Bay Shaila 24 in. x 31 in. Single Framed Vanity Mirror in White
Toilet:
Shower and Bathtub:
- Tub Surround – Delta Classic 400 32 in. x 60 in. x 79 in. Bath and Shower Kit with Right-Hand Drain in White
. I’m excited to have FIVE shelves!
- Shower Curtain Rod – Home Basics 41 in. Curved Shower Rod in Chrome. I didn’t understand the hype of curved shower curtain rods, but I wanted to try one out. They are a game-changer! The curve of the curtain rod makes it so you have tons more space while showering!
- Shower Curtain – We found ours here. I originally had a fun, patterned shower curtain to start, but it really took away from the look I was going for in our bathroom, and detracted from our tile wall. I wanted the wall to be the focal point, so I went with a classic white waffle from Walmart.
Hardware:
- We went with a chrome set from Walmart, found here!
Trim:
- I wanted a thick, farmhouse-style white trim, so we used these. We painted them using Benjamin Moore’s White Dove paint, measuring and cutting our pieces after the two coats had dried. Each corner was an angle cut, so they met together nicely. We did have gaps between the walls and trim (which you will definitely have)! To finish it off nicely, we used DAP Alex Painters 10.1 oz. White Acrylic Latex Caulk. I caulked each gap, and then painted the caulk to match the trim and walls perfectly, so it couldn’t be seen.
The rug is from TJMaxx, but I couldn’t find it to link to their website! I’ll keep looking and update my post once I find it. 🙂
