After waiting seven years to remodel our primary b After waiting seven years to remodel our primary bathroom, she is finally DONE! This room intimidated me more than any other space in our home, so I really pushed myself creatively with the design. We replaced the corner vanity and built-in tub, added an arched shower, and layered in slate floors, mint green tile, warm beadboard, and a few subtle nods to my South Asian heritage. The @rejuvenation pieces truly brought it all together, especially the Islington vanity paired with the Montecito faucet and shower fixtures. I’m in LOVE with the garnet Rhone sconces, and the Howell mirrors which mimic the arched shower. I mixed together unlacquered brass with heritage brass to create a unique look that warms up the slate and soft greens. What’s your favorite detail? #rejuvenationpartner #projectcollective #sonsored #bathroomremodel #bathroominspo
