Remodeling Small Bathroom with Elegant, Timeless Style

The small bathroom renovation in a house bought last fall has transformed a space in dire need of an upgrade into a modern and classic retreat. The project, sponsored by National Gypsum, aimed to make the space up-to-code and watertight.

At the heart of the renovation was the use of Purple XP Drywall for the walls. This innovative product, available nationwide from independent dealers and several major home retailers, offers superior moisture resistance, making it ideal for bathrooms.

In the renovated bathroom, a pedestal sink was installed due to the placement of the plumbing. To address the lack of storage in the sink, a black cabinet was added for everyday toiletries. The flooring, made of mosaic hexagon tiles in a marble-look design, complements the modern aesthetic beautifully.

For the shower, marble was used to maintain the elegant feel of the bathroom. Interestingly, Purple XP Drywall was used for the walls, while PermaBase Cement Board was employed for the shower to ensure durability and resistance to moisture.

The existing plaster walls were matched with a flat finish in the renovation, ensuring a seamless blend of old and new. A closet was created in the bedroom to the left of the bathroom wall, providing much-needed storage space.

Unfortunately, the bathroom before the renovation was in a bad condition, with a moldy window in the shower. However, the renovation has breathed new life into the space, turning it into a functional and stylish bathroom that homeowners can enjoy for years to come.

Questions about the renovation will be addressed in future posts. Bathroom fixture options can be found at Build.Com. For those planning a similar renovation, a materials calculator is available to make a custom shopping list for Purple XP Drywall, ensuring a smooth and efficient renovation process.
