Wait just one second...you didn't think I'd show you the after shots without first showing you what this room looked like before, did you?
Here's what the bath looked like when we bought the house. It was a time capsule from 1980. Actually, from Election Day 1992 as we later learned doing the demo.
After tearing everything out, Chris worked on installing cement board and waterproofing for the new tile.
I shared how we brought the blond oak vanity up to date.
Then Chris and I tested our marriage by tiling the tub together.
And then it was done.
Here's one last look at the before.
And here's the big reveal.

Beautiful Carrie! Now what is your favorite project to date? I can't even choose so how can you choose? Love the look of the mirror that you've used. Enjoy it!
Just stunning and so "Carrie!" It is timeless and well thought through, love all of the details, especially the traditional rug I see peeking out in one of the photos. I am currently working on a bathroom project and we plan to use a traditional rug as well, love the look!
Fantastic job, both of you!!!!
It's beautiful! Where do I make my reservation? Just voted for you.
So gorgeous - thanks for the inspiration, I'm just starting my reno!!
oh it looks SOOOOOO beautiful!!!! i love the faucet hardware! i love the wall color.... the mirror- everything!
Fantastico! But you knew that!!
Is it weird that I really like your black toilet seat? Out of all of the pretty in the room, the black toilet seat stands out the most to me.
Stunning. I love everything, so beautiful. Hugs, Marty
That molding and tile make the room! Turned out awesome...you should be proud of all your hard work! Funny how renovations put your marriage to the test! But you come out stronger right?
Looks great - so classic and clean. I am off to vote for you!
Looks gorgeous! I'm so happy for you two that it's finally finished! A job well done for sure!

Love it! You gys did an amazing job!
Amazing job Carrie! It's so pretty and bright! I love it all. Did you silver leaf your mirror? Did I miss that post. I love the mirror.
I LOVE IT! Good job!
Now that's an AFTER! Love all of it
Oh CARRIE!!!! You know I always am completely head over heels for your room makeovers, but this is...different...ha! Who am I kidding?!? It's so *FABULOUS*! Greek key on the shower curtain? Awesome. Silver leafed curvy mirror? Divine. And one of my favorite touches? It's bizarre, but the black toilet seat! LOVE IT!
Gorgeous!!! Really you need to quit your day job and bring houses back to life. I love your design choices and how you incorporated that awesome vintage floor into the brand new beautiful space!! You and Chris did such a great job - congratulations and enjoy!
This is so beautiful! Subway tile, marble, great trim, and Greek Key on the shower curtain = yummy! Great work!
Totally fab, Carrie! Love it - it's all completely stunning. M.
Great job guys! I love that black toilet seat cover thingy. Is it weird to say even your toilet is chic?
Stop by when you get a chance, I'd love to get your opinion!

Alright, a few things. First, I love that toilet, and I can't believe I just said that about a toilet, haha. Second, train racks are fabulous, and the one you have looks just right there.
Third, I knew as soon as I saw the title for this post my soul was gonna hurt a little b/c you guys did so much so quickly and we're STILL working on the nursery here . . . after 2.5 months . . . . But, most importantly, this room looks just fab - great choices all around.
Beautiful job and well done! I just got my Barkeeper's Friend in the mail so I'm off to scrub tile and clean grout! Thanks for that tip! I voted and I hope you win! But regardless, you should be very pleased with the result and all the "sweat equity" you put into that project. Congrats!
It is absolutely beautiful! I love every single detail. Great job! Enjoy it!
Oh, that looks so fabulous! I love that its so traditional - the details are exquisite. Definitely a grown up bathroom :) Well done!
Wow, what a beautiful transformation, I love the moulding throughout and the finish on the mirror is fantastic.
Wow,wow,wow! Love everything - it's sooo fancy. Love the molding, the silver details and the coloured ceiling. Great work!
I LOVE it, as I knew I would. I love the black toilet seat with the tile. The marble is beyond gorgeous. You did an amazing job on your mirror and shower curtain. And the molding is so classic. I see a tiny peek of your rug too which looks great. So basically I love everything. Congrats on your new bath!
Gorgeous again, Carrie!!! I'll come over...of course I'm totally within driving home at night distance, but I'll stay over just to use this bathroom;) Such beautiful details and great combo of materials and styles. Don't know how you do it but ever space is better than the next:)
Wow, Carrie- this is stunning! The before and afters are amazing. This is really the same space? I love all of the molding detail and the tile you chose! You did a great job on that mirror and the sink fixtures compliment it so well! I voted for you guys! You're definitely very deserving of the award! :)
this looks fabulous! love it!
WOAH! What a transformation! You guys did such a great job! This is one classy bathroom!
Gorgeous! I love the wall color. I am seriously amazed at how quickly you guys pull of these projects. You truly make a good team!
Wait, what? A full reveal ALREADY?! The room is FINISHED?!! You've just completely blown my mind. I can't believe you finished it so quickly, and the end result looks like THAT. It belongs in a magazine. Just perfect, top to bottom!
omg---this is seriously an amazing transformation. My mouth literally fell open. I love the faucet you chose, and the gorgeous silver mirror you re-faced. this is totally worthy!
Okay, i could have sworn I commented earlier but maybe I was just mesmerized by the transformation. You two are amazing and make an awesome team. That bathroom is spectacular.
i KNOW you want to come do my bathroom now right? right??
GENIUS!!!!
I love everything you did in this bathroom renovation (the whole house really) and that you were able to complete it on your own is extraordinary.
You've got mad skills, or like I said before, it's sheer genius! Our suitcases are packed. :)
Unbelievable!!
OMG I love it Carrie! Give yourself a pat on the back. It's such a classic design with some fun twists like the rug and blue ceiling. It all came together so perfectly without being matchy matchy. And I'm amazed at how quickly you've finished it. We're still plugging along at our own bathroom remodel.
Me...Me...Me!! I would LOVE to come stay and be able to luxuriate in your gorgeous new bathroom. I love everything about it and am now thinking, "I need a guest bathroom re-do"!! GREAT job Carrie!!
Such a beautiful, classic space! Love that molding and mirror!

Wow, it's all been said in your kind comments form others, but I had to add my name to the list of people who love it!! Great Job!
Another timeless, not to mention, gorgeous renovation! You blow me away every time Carrie. I love every detail.
You two are just incredible!! I continue to be amazed at every project you complete! Amazing job!
What a fantastic job you have done! It looks amazing.
Amazing transformation! Love your faucet!!
Hi - this is my first visit! I came over from Kim's to see your remodel and was so impressed that I went over and voted for your project! Just lovely!
You all leave no detail unattended. This is stunning, from the black toilet seat to the molding to the pretty glass knobbed hook next to the shower...the Greek key trimmed double shower curtains. Stunning. Love the fixtures too. So elegant.
You guys did it again!
Camille
Very cute colors... ha ha....I had to go back and reread- I thought you had said, "We tested our marriage by testing the tub." And I said, Whoa, Nelly!!
I am so glad that I found you through the Wow party. Your bathroom remodel is so upscale and timeless. You can't go wrong with subway tile and box frame wainscoting. Just stunning!
Carrie, thanks so much for sharing this beauty at Wow.
The C & C renovation factory strikes again! Beautiful! My rubber duckie and I will be right over...
Absolute perfection!! This room looks like the bathroom that truly belongs to the house. Really awesome job you 2!

Carried it looks so. good. AMAZING good. Such a great job!!!
Um, I'll be there! I want to see this baby in person. Every inch is just so incredibly beautiful. Where or where did that mirror come from? It (and the faucet) really stands out to me.
This is a beautiful bathroom. All the choices you made were excellent. Magazine worthy! You should be so proud of your hard work and design savvy.
Saw you on WOW. This is gorgeous! I'm your newest follower too :-)
