Happy Monday, friends! How was your weekend? I spent much of mine stalking tracking our son! He’s pledging a fraternity, and they had a ‘camping retreat’ this weekend… which means my mama-heart was in worry overload! He’s back on campus now, so I’m breathing normally again. Parent’s weekend is at the end of this month, so I’m counting down the days until I see his face.
But let’s get to today’s post… I’m so excited to share our Primary Bathroom reveal! After the huge Backyard Remodel this year, we weren’t planning any more projects for awhile… but when our beloved contractor called to say he was retiring, we fast-forwarded the rest of our home projects. After all, we’ve been working with him for 15 years, and he’s transformed both of our Texas houses, from this kid’s bathroom to this kitchen to this mudroom.
If you follow me on Instagram Stories, you’ve seen peeks of everything we’ve got going on, but of course I’ll be sharing it all here, too!
For a project of this size, we turned to my friend Emily and her amazing team at A Well Dressed Home for design and construction. I met Emily almost 10 years ago when we both started blogging, and it’s been such a joy to watch her business grow. She’s an incredible talent, and has the best team working with her. They totally nailed our style with this bathroom design, and I pinch myself everyday that this is actually ours!!
In order to truly appreciate the makeover, let’s take a look at the space when we first moved in.
Not the worst bathroom that ever was, but definitely dated with limited storage… and most certainly not our aesthetic! We gutted the room completely, but in order to keep costs down, we didn’t alter the layout or plumbing location.
I’ll let the photos speak for themselves, and most everything is sourced at the end of the post.
And one more Before and After… just because!
Every square inch of the room is so thoughtfully planned, with no details overlooked, and the Well Dressed Home team managed it every step of the way. Which was such a gift considering construction started the day we left for two weeks in Greece!
I’m working on a follow-up post with my favorite smart additions to the space, along with more details. I linked available sources where I could below, but let me know if you have any additional questions!

I’d stalk too. The amount of hazing and alcohol consumption that goes in in those fraternities is nothing short of dangerous.
I agree, but I also trust my son and know he’ll stand up for himself when necessary. But it still doesn’t keep me from checking up! 😉
I know you’ve brought up your son well, but I couldn’t help sucking in my breath when you mentioned fraternity! The entitled behaviour coming out of them feels like it overshadows the positive. I understand the stalking 🙂
I love the bathroom. That tile is gorgeous!
He’s definitely chosen his group wisely! And I trust him to stay true to himself and make good choices! xo. C
Stunning, show stopping, absolutely amazing!
Thanks, friend!! xo
Oh my what a beautiful space! Amy chance you could tell me where I could find the bathtub tray?
Thank you so much! I wish I had the link to that tray, but it’s only available to the trade!
Beautiful. I really love the wood finish of the bathroom vanity.
Absolutely love it! It’s at once fun and elegant.
Only you! Amazing!!!! I did my bath in black/white & gold as well!!! Even the champagne Delta Trinsic fixtures !!! Total classics!!! Genius wallpaper move! Total showstopper! Love that you left the cabinets “natural” and let the other features shine! That black gloss subway tile-sooo good! Love it all!
Thank you so so much, Heidi! I’d love to see your bathroom!!
And yes, I love that they left the wood natural to add some warmth to the space!
Hey Cassie… my IG handle is BrownEyedGirlyGirl or Heidi Ferguson
I have a link in my profile as Homebunch did a great article on our house a year ago! Some things have changed. As you know, you keeping adding when you move (we started from scratch because it was a new build and I totally changed to “Modern Farmhouse” look -thus the bathroom style! It’s one of my favorite rooms in the house!! I’ve got more updated pics in my highlights “home” and then I tagged the whole process #thefergusonsbuildahome – that was s LOT of info -ha! Enjoy your new bath! What a dream!!
Thanks so much, I can’t wait to check it out! xo. C
I love your bathroom!! Such personality and style. Can you share how you chose this design firm, and what to look for or what questions to ask in order to choose the right company for your job? Thanks!
Thank you so much, that is a great question!! I chose AWDH first because I adore Emily and respect the work she and her team does. As for choosing your own, I’d definitely start with looking at their portfolios and see if your aesthetics match (although, a great designer can create a space that is totally ‘You’). Then just ask lots of questions, ‘How do they charge, what’s included, what’s the timeline’, etc. AWDH charged me a flat rate to design the space, then passed on all trade discounts. Other firms markup purchases to cover their fee, or charge you by the hour. I like that there are no hidden fees or surprises with Emily’s process. Also, she designs anywhere in the country, so you don’t have to be DFW!!
Another remarkable transformation! I love all of the special accent pieces, especially the teak bath plank. Was this custom made? I’d love to be able to purchase this item or something similar.
Thank you so much, Patti! I love that plank too, and wish I could link it for you!! But it’s sourced through AWDH and only available to the trade.
What a transformation – so beautiful!
Hi Cassie
Love the bathroom. Can you please tell me where the cabinet pulls and handles are from? Thank you!
Tammy
Hi Tammy! Most everything was sourced through the decorator, and available to the trade…so unfortunately I don’t have links to some of it!
Your bathroom layout is similar to mine in Los Angeles. Did your freestanding tub allow you to slightly expand your shower stall?
YES!! We extended the shower another 12-18-inches for sure!! It’s amazing how much it opens it up!
CASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! This space is STUNNING!
Wow, your bathroom looks like it’s in a fancy hotel! Love those sconces!
Thank you so much!! I feel the same way every time I shower!! I’m like, ‘where am I?!?!’ 🙂 xo
Did you add the cabinet above the toilet? What color is it painted?
It was already there, but we replaced the doors to match the same shape as the vanity. They’re painted SW Iron Ore, the same as our bedroom.
absolutely gorgeous! would love a post about how you store all your beauty products, hair accessories etc. If you would mind showing us a peek into some of the drawers?
Getting ready to remodel our master bath, something we’ve put off for far too long. Ironically the tub faucet in your bathroom is the one I picked out! Do you like it? Anything that you would do different with any part of the project?
I love it!! The detachable handle is perfect for rinsing it out (or bathing dogs!) 😉 You do have to remember to face it towards the tub or you might accidentally spray the floor! I’m working on a follow-up post with the added details that make life so much easier. So far, I haven’t come across anything I’d do differently!! Good luck with your remodel!! xo. C
Beautiful finished product! Do you have a dupe for the rug?
I don’t, but I like Overstock for finding rugs!!
I’ve ordered two rugs from Overstock for my bathroom, but one is too thick and one is shedding and falling apart?! Do you know which rug you bought?? I’ve “borrowed” almost every idea you used😉! I do wonder how you get credit for sales because I’ve ordered almost everything except I went with a different wallpaper. Thank you for any input!!
Sherry
I’m so happy you found inspiration here! I’m not sure exactly which rug is ours…I’m so sorry! xo. C
I live in Frisco and this is the exact layout of my master bathroom – shell sinks and all. 🙂 This is giving me great inspiration for my overhaul (one day soon, I hope). I want to do the exact same layout of new free standing tub and expand on the size of the shower.
It is beautiful. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Love your new bathroom! We’re in the process of a remodel and wanted to do a shower towel rack like yours. Do you mind sharing that source? Thank you!
Thank you! The shower/glass people attached it to the glass door itself, so unfortunately I don’t have a link/source.
Fabulous remodel!!! Enjoy!!
Love this!!! We have the same window in our bathroom and need a shade. Can you please tell me where it was purchased? I assume it was custom?
Yes, A Well Dressed Home commissioned it, so I’m not sure the source!
Do you use a chair/stool at your vanity to apply makeup or do your hair? I noticed you had a cutout in the old vanity and you left it out in the remodel. I currently have a stool in our bathroom that I push to the vanity but thought a cutout in the vanity would be more functional (but it’s honestly not as stylish with the cutout). Curious your reasoning, we are building and creating plans now.
No, I prefer to just stand so I can easily access my drawers. Plus, the counter was an odd height for a stool!
Beautiful. Did you buy pre made cabinets and put them together or is the vanity custom? Where did you buy them?
Thank you, Cindy! My contractor built them to fit our space!
My husband and I are in the middle of a master bathroom overhaul, and I love the idea of using the brass trim to place around a custom-sized mirror! Could you share the website where you found the trim? Is the trim L-shaped or C-shaped?
Hi Megan…we ordered from Online Metal Shop, and got the brass l-shape pieces! Our contractor cut them to size and glued them on.
Where did you locate the shower door enclosure?
Hi Jeanne! I’m not entirely sure what you’re asking… but we didn’t move anything with the remodel, it was all cosmetic. So the shower and its opening stayed exactly where they were, you can see more in this reveal post! xo, C
Where did you get the wood piece for across the bath tub?
Hi Ann! It was provided by our designer, A Well Dressed Home, or else I would have linked it! Below are some similar options! xo, C

Hi!!
Wondering if after a few years, you’re still happy with the black tile?? I’ve heard it’s terribly hard to keep clean but it’s more often shower floors & matte tile! I am thinking about glossy black like this but the cleaning is the only thing holding me back! I don’t want water spots constantly!
Thanks!!
Hi Morgan! We actually moved out of that house back in September, but I did love the black tile! I guess it did show water spots a bit… but it’s a shower, so being wet was not a problem for me. It wasn’t cleaned any more often than any other different-tiled shower! xo, C
