and a bloomer bathroom reno...

Finally with the weddings over D. and I can finally get to our much anticipated bathroom reno! We've been talking about it for 2 years now...its the last thing left to do in our condo and we are excited to finally get it started. So we became like every other typical married couple and we did the home renovation store rounds a few weekends ago. We went to look at the tubs, vanities and toilets....and would you believe we fell in love with a vanity at the first store we went to?! And to top it off, it was on sale! So after checking out other options we went back and made the purchase on the same day. It is a grey oak wall mounted vanity with two lovely drawers instead of that useless cavernous cupboard they usually have.

It's so purdy...here it is but for some reason the grey doesn't stand out as much in this picture:

So then the next weekend came along and we did the whole married couple tour again and looked through hundreds and hundreds of tile samples. It proved to be tricky since the wood is a grey wash over the brown wood. Since the vanity is so striking we thought we should pick a really neutral tile. We are thinking a matte brownish grey colour.


And for the tub we found these awesome white glass tiles that look like they glow...so pretty and shiny! We want them to be 3x6 subway tiles. They don't glow the same on the computer though...


I'm having trouble finding inspiration pics to copy but in my searches I did find these loverly bathrooms...I'm looking for grey and white small bathrooms but it isn't that easy.
