Coronado Beach House remodel bathrooms

Hi Everyone

 Happy Friday

♥

The Coronado remodel had

 three very dated bathrooms that needed upgrades

This is the after picture of the upstairs bathroom that is now

 packed with style and luxury

Clean simple details such as penny marble tile floors 

a glass enclosed shower as well as a pretty new pedestal sink 

A Pottery barn medicine cabinet and a new skylight helped to make
 this space feel fresh spacious light and inviting

Here is the before pic 

You can almost see the window 

through the wavy glass shower door
it looks so dark with the tan ceiling and the wall paper

The second bathroom downstairs
was the most dramatic redo

With 1950's pink 4x4 tiles on the walls and floors
a pink bathtub as well as
a pink toilet and sink

the entire bathroom was gutted and space was maximized
to make this bathroom glamorous and elegant

This after pic shows the
 Pottery barn double pedestal sink that fit perfect and looks so elegant
white subway tiles
white penny floor tiles

 a massive new white soaking tub all ingredients for
a clean calm spa look and feel

The third bathroom
had floral wallpaper and gray bathtub and toilet

By Simply adding another door to make this bathroom a Jack and Jill bath
 this downstairs bathroom can now also be used as a guest bath
The white penny tile floors and new shower added space
 the wood based pottery barn sink added warmth
love the open shelves so great for storage

You may remember this inspiration pic the home owners
used for the master bath room

Love the result so filled with light
very clean and functional
white subway tiles and marble trim
large soaking tub and shower
double spaced mirror  and pretty new sconces
all helped to
add a simple elegance and charm


Which of these 3 bathrooms is your favorite

Coronado Update

Hi Everyone

Happy Tuesday

♥

It has been such a fun Summer 

filled with 

decisions to make at the Coronado house

some of my inspirations 

{Love}

{Pinterest}

Do you like the  fancy shingles
 above the balcony

{Pinterest}

{Love} the brick around the pool so classic

{and the  lounge chairs too}

{Pinterest}

Love white subway tiles
♥

Here are the
subway tiles  finally going
 up in the kitchen

The counter tops are carrera marble
and  the wolf range gets to be center stage
do you see the metal brackets 
 for the shelves
there are three on each side going up the entire wall

You can follow my inspiration board
on Pinterest
 for more remodel ideas

here

I have received so many emails
about the tile floors
they look so much like wood that they have fooled 
everyone who has entered the house
even the camera guys
The color is  called  Cambridge Oak- Brown 
made by Ragno

 can't wait to show you how this house comes to life 
with paint on the walls
 and furniture inside  !!!

Its  getting very exciting!

Coronado Remodel update

 Hi Everyone

 Happy Thursday

♥

The Coronado  beach house
remodel
 update for the New Year 2014
Construction over the holiday was very slow but

The balcony upstairs with its amazing view 

 has a pretty new brick landing

The brick will match the brick fireplace surround

and a new bricked front walkway

These are vintage bricks saved from a house
that was being remodeled down the street
I talked to the owner and asked if I could have them
he said yes !!!

The transom windows above the doorways 

help to add height and interest 

as well as a vintage feel 

This one is in the upstairs master bedroom
did you notice the crown molding

{Love}

The transom window above the french doors

in the living room

helps to add height and light too

This is the living room before the floors were installed

Here is the kitchen with the 

floor almost complete

Do you like the wood floors

guess what

 it is actually tile 

it looks so much like wood

 The color of the wood/tile helps to warm up the room

with white walls and a white ceiling the floors will be the anchor 

The tile goes throughout the living room, dining room, kitchen 

as well as the office/bedroom and back bedroom

So happy with the floors 

That's it for the 2014 NewYear update

for now 

With a move in date of February 10

there is still  much to be done

It will be a busy January

next update will be the installation of the appliances in the kitchen

A brand new subzero glass front refrigerator and wolf range

so excited 

We all know that

{The kitchen is the heart of the home}

 and once these appliances have been installed it will finally
 start to look and feel more like home

Front door remodel

via

Hi Everyone

 Happy Monday

♥

The Coronado remodel is starting to take shape

 now that most of the interior demo is complete
it is time to work on some of the outside demo

the new front door is ordered
The addition of

 a white dutch door

will be a big change from the existing solid
dark almost black green door with the metal screen door
and yes
the rock will be removed too
The rock seems to be a big topic for all of the neighbors

The old door
and
metal screen door
this is looking at the entrance to the house

 is very
 dark and unwelcoming
looking at the door from the inside of the house

Have you ever seen a door handle
 in the middle of the door
I was told this is a English  style door but
the brass design has a very oriental look
The green on the door looks pretty in this picture but
 it is actually a very dark green

 The new white dutch door from Home depot will 

will be airy and light

and will add a new welcoming feel
to the house

The upstairs bedroom will have french doors
 and a new balcony that overlooks the boats in
Glorietta bay
 and the beautiful and romantic
Hotel Del Coronado

The view is amazing
it is fun to visit Coronado every week to see the changes
That is all for the remodel update
this week electric and plumbing changes will be finished
Can't wait to show you the kitchen update next Monday

Vintage Blue and a remodel

Hi Everyone

 Happy Thursday

♥

This little blue chippy shabby vintage basket 

was found at a fabulous store in

Coronado called 

The Attic

You have heard me mention this store before

 I have been making weekly trips to Coronado
to supervise updates for a beach house remodel

it has been fun to rediscover this fun little shop filled with
 so many adorable vintage treasures

It is rare to find these type of vintage baskets
completely in tact

the handle and the sides are all there and not one piece is broken
{Love}
  the size perfect for flower arrangements made with

freshly picked flowers from the garden

The original tin insert is a bonus
 and it actually holds water
so the flowers will have plenty to drink

{warning the next few pictures are ugly}

The beach house is in demo mode
or what we affectionately refer to as the
ugly
not so fun
before stage



The house is taking shape and looking open
 and filled with  much needed light
as you can see the kitchen was completely gutted
 new windows have just been installed
and the wall separating the dining room from the kitchen has been removed
there was a tiny door that led to the kitchen that made
the space look even smaller and very dark
 The new designed  kitchen will have a white bead-board ceiling
  the wolf range/stove will be on the left
 and the french farmhouse sink will be on the right
 just below the window
 to the left of the sink will be a subzero glass front refrigerator

via

The Subzero  refrigerator
 looks like this one

Adding windows to this bedroom has
 helped to make it feel bigger
The large original cabinets are staying and the new window
will now have a window seat
 that looks out to the pool
removing the vanity table and mirror and adding a window
helped add light to the room

Here is the front door can you see the ceiling
 it has been raised to bring in height and more light
The stairway to the upstairs bedroom
has been opened up
so you are not walking upstairs in what felt like a dark tunnel

Pretty view of Coronado yacht club from the new balcony upstairs
   just off the master bedroom
{sorry these pics are bad took them with my iPhone}

That's the remodel update for this week
check back often
 the kitchen cabinets and drywall get installed in a few days
as well as the bead board
So excited to have the opportunity to help design and transform this home
 and to share with you the transformation

Must Love Pink

via

Hi Everyone

 Happy Tuesday

♥

You all know I 

{Love} 

all things vintage and the color pink

the ad above for Kohler bathrooms is from 1958 

just look at the pretty pink sink and bathtub

 Here is that same bathtub today
 55 years later 

not only is there a pink bath tub in this house

 there are pink 4x4 tiles on the walls

 and  on the floor

There is a pink shower 

Check out the light

 inside the shower , notice the grab bars in stainless steel and white

 the gold gilded towel bars and soap holder inside the shower

And yes there is even

 a pink sink and vanity too 

The original plan was to try and save the vintage sink and tub in this home

but  plumbing problems meant the floor and all of the tile has to be removed

When this home was built in 1958

 this pink bathroom was the very height of  glamour and style

So excited to share with you just a glimpse of the before pictures of
this Coronado Beach house 

The entire home is being remodeled and

this pink bathroom is going to be redone

from floor to ceiling 

 you can come along to see the transformation as we go from this to something like this...

Here is the inspiration pic

 for the new bathroom

{Love}

the tub enclosure with Carrera marble tile and the 

vintage inspired hand held bathtub faucet/handle
