House Tour: Master Bath

Did you think I forgot about the house tour? I mean, we’ve only lived here a year and I have only shown you half the house! I don’t really have an excuse, I just felt like posting other stuff. So let me stop rambling and show you the goods.

Usually when I walk into the master bath this is what I find.

This is his lookout spot.

See that dark cave-like room back there? It's our shower. Let’s all just pretend we aren’t missing the shower door. Since it is pretty deep and water doesn't get out when the shower is on...we aren’t in a hurry to drop a pretty penny on some glass door that we will have to clean anyway. Custom glass shower doors are not cheap. It’s on the list.
And yes it does feel like you are showering in a cave!

Step inside the cave...

Body jets. We have 4 of them. The nozzles twist and there are different pressure options too.This is one way to up your shower experience. They are pretty darn nice.
The floor looks like it's a different color, but it's just the lighting, it's the same as the rest of the tile, just smaller.

We do have a small corner bench.

That my friends, concludes our cave tour!


And there he goes again...back on the clock as security guard. Always on the lookout.

On the windows we have faux wood blinds from custom cut by Menards in the store.  The curtains were also picked up from Menards. They are white tie-up curtains.
In the corner, I added some candles. Obviously essential for a serious spa-like relaxing bath.

Vanity space:

Pretend you don't see the smudged on the mirrors...

Our vanity is actually two 48 inch vanities side by side and secured. We added a custom marble countertop so we would each have our own space and sink. We share the hanging cabinet for other bathroom essentials.

This is my corner:

I keep my makeup brushes in a few of my milk glass pieces. I think the milk glass goes nicely in the room and plus it makes me happy.

And the throne has it's own little closet for extra privacy.

The tile is a stone tile.  It has a natural look and feel to it. Completely our style. We love the look and the feel of it... however, we do wish would we would have done heated floors in here, because it is COLD in the winter.  Darn it.

We had someone else do the tile work as we were newbies and needed the bathroom to be done ASAP so we could move in. I do not recommend our tile guy to anyone. I won’t give his name. I will just say during our last phone conversation the man screamed at me, then hung up on me. As Stephanie Tanner would say. How rude. 

Oh did I forget to mention the TV? Yep, husband installed a TV for me. It's on a tilting mount so it can be turned to watch from the vanity as well. But it's mostly used while relaxing in the tub. I can watch HGTV while soaking. And I do.

My chill out routine:

1. Light candles. 
2. Dump in 3 capfuls of bubble bath.
3. Turn on HGTV or Will & Grace reruns.
4. Pour a big glass of wine.
5. R-E-L-A-X.

So there is your master bath tour. I love the color scheme of the room. Neutral, relaxing. Spa-like. Everything I wanted in a master bath. It's not completely finished yet. Obviously a shower door is on the list. But we also have nothing on the walls except the towel bars!

Master Bath with a "spa" theme: down to our tooth brushes {{sponsored post}}

Disclosure: I received this product as part of an advertorial.

Oh you want to see more of the house? What about the master bathroom? We will be sharing that room soon, but first I will share our newest master bath accessory. Consider this your sneak peek...

Wamboo toothbrushes perfect fit with our vintage accessories. 

When we were planning out our master bathroom I wanted a spa-like feel. I had to have the big tub. Husband had to have the big shower with the extra jets. The color scheme was important too. Neutrals, to keep a natural theme. We try to keep our accessories in the spa theme with just a touch of vintage. You know us, just keeping it real. Also I spend a lot of time in thrift stores. 

So, when Woobamboo sent us 2 of their  Bamboo toothbrushes to try out, I was all for it. Free toothbrushes? I like clean teeth. I have to buy toothbrushes anyway every couple of months. I will try them. (Read: I love trying things out that I would normally buy anyway. If anyone wants to send me free dog food or toilet paper, I will take it gladly.) 
Bamboo to me sounds like it would be in spa, am I right? They are also eco-friendly, which is something we are down with.

Woobamboo boasts:

“WooBamboo Eco Toothbrushes are a stylish and eco-friendly alternative to the typical landfill-cluttering plastic toothbrush. They are made with bamboo that's sustainable, organically grown, biodegradable, antimocrobial, and panda-friendly!”

Woobamboo is even pretty to look at!

Now, they aren’t just a stick with some brushes on the end. No Sir. They are customizable! You can order them with something etched on them. How great would these be for a dentist to giveaway? I wish my dentist would give me a toothbrush this pretty.
Not to mention Woobamboo toothbrushes are antimicrobial, organic, BPA free, and bio-degradable.

Brush test: The bristles were soft, but still felt like they were doing the job. I have sensitive gums and they didn’t hurt them at all.  They sent us an original and the slim. Mine is the slim, because Adam's hands are much larger than mine.

To top it all off, I think they look stylish in our “spa” master bath…which I will share more of next week! Really, more room tours are coming so soon! Stick around!

*EDIT* See the rest of our Master Bathroom as promised!
