Fanchon Flip Bathrooms

Completely remodeling 3 1/2 baths in this flip house was very daunting. Especially given the short time window we were shooting to complete the flip by. Not only was it a lot of physical work, it was a lot of design decisions to make.

This flip house was a great learning experience because I had to make tons of decisions in a very short time window for an entire house. To streamline things, we kept the bathrooms in a similar style. Some elements that echo through all of them: marble countertops, white walls, gray accents, wood-look floors, and a mixture of black and stainless finishes.

Master Bathroom

Ok, we should always start with a good before picture or two, right? So here is what we started with…

We pretty much ripped out the entire bathroom. The layout changed slightly, but not drastically though. But I think the overall effect is pretty drastically different thought…

I shared the design idea for the master in this post. I think we stuck pretty close to that for nearly everything. The only item left out was the wall molding, simply because we ran out of steam at the end.

The whole bathroom was inspired by the Allen + Roth floating vanities that I found on a super sale at Lowes. Floating anything, just feels more sophisticated, right? We got the 60″ double vanity for the master bath. The stainless steel widespread faucets helped the look lean more ‘modern/spa’. They are super affordably priced and feel like great quality. The only bummer was that the water lines included weren’t long enough, so we got different ones to install.

Also, we used my very favorite toilet paper holder from Amazon. Super affordable and super modern!!

The wood-look tile floor was a clearance find at Floor and Decor. I’ve never done a wood-look tile before, but I have to say, they look quite nice! To add a luxury feel, we replaced the built-in jacuzzi tub with this free-standing tub. I was very impressed with the quality and affordability of this tub.

We paired the tub with a matte black free standing tub faucet in the same brand. It is truly gorgeous. I just wish I had read about gpm before buying. The Gallons per Minute dictate how fast the tub will fill, and this faucet is a little on the slow side. No one wants their bath to get cold before they finish filling it! Oh well, I’m always learning 🙂

In the shower, we used the Clementine Kira ceramic tile from Home Depot. It’s the same tile I used on our kitchen peninsula. We had some issues with a lot of tiles coming broken, so definitely open the box before you leave the store. Overall, my biggest regret in this bathroom is not making the shower area bigger. I’m not sure if the tub would still have fitted in the same spot, but I think the 36″ shower just felt too tight for a luxurious master bath.

Like I said, I learned a lot through this. And while I don’t think it’s perfect, I think it’s still a very nice and pretty bathroom for the new owners. 🙂

The mirrors were a Kirkland’s find. They seem to have the most affordable prices for mirrors. Home Goods is almost as good, but they don’t have online shopping, so for that reason, Kirkland wins.

Those gorgeous black and white sconces over the mirror are on Amazon. I think they really make a statement and are a unique touch for this bathroom. (And who spotted the missing ceiling fan cover in that photo??)

And now for a few more fun master bathroom photos before we move on to the other baths…

Main Hall Bathroom

In this bathroom the layout remained the same, but everything got replaced, including the tub and vanity.

The Fanchon Flip house had a second bathroom upstairs for the other three bedrooms. We used some of the same elements as the other bathrooms, but the Allen + Roth vanities were sold out in the 48″ size we needed. So we ended up buying the vanity at Menards as well as the marble top.

The mirror was Kirkland’s again, it’s such a fun shape! This bathroom took on some more traditional lines, with the curve of the mirror, the vanity fronts, and the pretty chrome faucet.

We used the same tub from our own bathroom, it’s really nice and spacious. And instead of tile, we opted to install a subway tile look wall surround. I think it’s pretty convincing, don’t you?

Half Bathroom

This little space looks quite different now from the before picture… much more clean and calming:

This tiny little half bath had an adorable pocket door. We used the gorgeous floating vanity from Lowes again. with the same widespread faucet. The circle mirror was from (you guessed it!) Kirkland’s. And I just love the wall light above the circle window. There is something about pairing a linear light, with a circular mirror, and a floating vanity that feels so chic!

If you’re wondering where the third full bath is…. Sadly I never took pictures of it. The basement bath was more of a facelift than a full remodel, and we didn’t picture it the listing. So sorry I have no pictures to share!
