Upstairs Jack and Jill Kid's Bathroom Renovation

We did it! We have officially, and finally, completed our first large in home renovation. We have a laundry list of spaces we want to renovate, but we decided to start in our kid's Jack and Jill upstairs bathroom.

The biggest reason we wanted to renovate this room was how inconvenient it was to give my kids a bath. The room with the tub was tight, I was smushed between the door and the toilet..and who wants to be up close and personal with a toilet that 2 little boys use?! NOT ME. When we first moved in, there was also a sliding door on the tub that we removed because it was a struggle to reach both kids in the tub through such a small opening.

We left the room with the sinks the same size, just replacing the cabinet, counter top, faucets, sink, and light fixture. But the tub room was expanded into our oldest son's room, which was quite large to begin with. In that room, we replaced the tub and toilet. Other upgrades include floor tile, shower tile, towel bars, paint, and we changed the swinging door into the tub room to a pocket door which has really helped keep the space open and usable.

I am really happy with our choices and love the colors!

We had a custom cabinet built and installed. Underneath is a pull out step so that we could get rid of the stool and free up space. In hindsight, I would have liked to have taken some space form the cabinets, making a larger step because while my oldest reaches ok, my youngest still can't.

Don't pay attention to the mismatching colors. We are adding white shiplap below the chair rail in a couple of weeks!

We are slowly adding in the little details like towel holders, etc.

And I LOOOOVE all of the fixtures we picked! The faucets were purchased from Kingston Brass, towel bars from Amazon, and the light fixture I found on Houzz but have also seen it on many online shops. I am loving this bright space!

Eventually we will frame in the mirror (which is the original mirror we were able to save) and build in some built ins where the hamper now sits. But I definitely think this was a good investment and will serve the boys for years to come.

Have you done any in home renovations? Did they go as planned? I'm ready to tackle the kitchen next but that's a pretty big job and a long ways up the road after completing this job!
