The master bathroom renovation has been done for a while—we've been intending on posting these after photos for some time! Plus, we're still adding some small finishing touches.
If you want the background story, you can read the Before Story as well as an In Progress Story that has much of the product and paint information. I've also posted the "before" photos here for an instant comparison.
We'll be installing a glass tile backsplash to protect the wall behind the sink (sample shown below). We don't want something to contrast and stand out, and this provides a nice texture and light reflection without making too much of a statement.
Although it was “temporary”, I'm not sure how we lived with this:
Because of the weird configuration of pipes behind the sink, we were unable to accommodate what is supposed to be a second drawer on this GODMORGON sink cabinet. So, we removed the bottom drawer, cut a piece out of the bottom to accommodate the pipes, and simply used more of the storage bins to hold everything.

Enjoy the tour!
GODMORGON sink cabinet (with an added LANSA stainless steel drawer pull.)

Although it was “temporary”, I'm not sure how we lived with this:
We created the stepped storage unit by cutting 2 of the 3 MOLGER Shelving Units in Birch that we bought at IKEA (It reminds me of spa teak!). We decided on the stepped design so the shelving unit didn't appear so solid and dominating against that wall. We also chose "open" shelving for the same reason. It graduates nicely to just below sink height. Check out how Christopher created this clever "IKEA Hack" here.

I'm looking forward to getting some of these apothecary-style storage jars for the shelves:

Love the GRUNDTAL stainless steel hangers that come in packs of 2.
Towel bar is the "Latitude" II Satin Nickel hardware from Bed Bath & Beyond.

Branch shower curtain from CB2 is no longer available, but these are cool alternatives:

We're very happy with it.
It's clean, uncluttered, looks refreshing, and it didn't cost a fortune.
On to the next project!

Love what you've done with this bathroom. The amount of storage you've added is amazing and it looks very peaceful and spa-like!

I love this! I just did a (way lower budget) bathroom makeover myself, and I'm in Somerville and BYW bootcamp too!
