I’m beyond excited to share this modern boho bathroom renovation reveal with you guys! The space has modern faucets, cabinetry, and lighting with boho styling brought in through the textiles and artwork. I love how the mix of styles came together in this space. Can you believe that this bathroom began as a renovation?! For serious. We completely gutted the bathroom, but kept the original layout. The vanity, shower, and toilet are in the same place as they were originally, which means we saved big plumber moula. Check out these before shots!
This looks like an eerie horror movie shot!! Ok, so see how in the photo above, on both the left and right sides of the entrance, there are linen closets? We made the bathroom a lot larger by taking down the walls between the bathroom and linen closets and making it all one space. (I can smell the old house when I see these pictures and it’s freaking me out!!) Next we took down the walls around the tub enclosure and replaced the tub with a shower with glass walls on two sides. We also added a window. Natural light in a bathroom is so important! Ta Da!!! Instead of a linen closet inside the bathroom, I opted to use up the extra space we gained removing the linen closets by replacing them with two tall cabinets on either side of the vanity. The cabinets provide really functional storage and the eclectic feeling of furniture, in contrast to the plain nondescript look that a closet door on a BO-ring linen closet would have had. (no offence linen closets but you ugly!)
Cremone hardware is the name of the long bar style lock on the cabinets and is one of the most striking elements in the bathroom. I tied the black iron hardware into the black iron on the wall sconces, and in the window’s frame. I like to keep things light and airy, so those are the only dark elements in the space. However, a little dark adds polish and sophistication, right?! I chose weathered oak for the cabinetry because I love the look of raw wood, especially against the carrara marble tile and countertops. All the tile is marble and from Anatolia Tile. I used a 3×9 subway, a hexagon mosaic, and a 12×24 in the shower.
All of the jaw dropping plumbing fixtures are from Delta Faucet. Delta is the only brand with affordable fixtures in the matte brass finish that everyone wants. It’s called Champagne Bronze and the best tone imaginable. We used the Trinsic collection. I love how the modern fixtures pop against the weathered wood cabinets. You can also see the Delta Trinsic Kitchen collection in my home here.
One detail that I’ve always wanted in a bathroom and got to finally try out in this space are inset medicine cabinets!!! I love how flush they are with the wall and layered over the tile the look is so polished (and by polished I mean “like a boss”). Inset cabinets over tile is ABSOLUTELY going to happen again anytime it’s possible when I’m renovating.
I need to pause for a second and appreciate the amazingness of this Canadian Tire CANVAS basket. Ok. I’m done now. The basket is filled with hand towels, so it’s totally functional, but more importantly I love the texture and softness it gives to all the hard smooth tile.
Now that we’re on the topic of details and styling: this bathroom honestly just didn’t “have it” before it was styled. All the awesome hardware, tile, and fixtures in the world can’t make a space feel finished. “Finished” is my ultimate goal in design and really hard to achieve. So often we have to move on to a new home before getting to this point. Here’s a look at the bathroom before I got to the finishing details.It’s great but it doesn’t have the ‘wow’ factor and it doesn’t speak to my personal style and brand which is airy, modern, and feminine. From this point I added artwork, towels, a rug, the baskets and toiletry accessories. Not a whole lot really, but the difference is staggering. Everyone who uses the bathroom marches directly back out and mentions the rug and the paintings. You know what? People don’t really talk about the tile, so it’s taught me that maybe my obsession with real marble is a little misguided and I could do a faux ceramic marble and then put that money somewhere else…like the next bathroom! I don’t know though…I love the feeling of real marble…what do you guys prefer?

Art Work
Right now, if you’re following along, you know that I’m in a deep-love-obsession with Maren Devine and have sprinkled her prints everywhere! In my bathroom I have the nude figure and a portrait. I first chose a few works that I was interested in, then hunted down the perfect rug, then got the prints, then tied the prints and rug together further by grabbing Turkish towels that pulled all the colour together. To say that the artwork in my bathroom makes me happy is an understatement! I seriously can’t take my eyes off of the pieces. People don’t leave my bathroom without coming back out and talking about them and telling me which one is their favourite. (In case you’re wondering, it’s a total 50/50 split!)
I’m also in serious “swoon mode” over the runner. You know I’m a repeat offender with RugsUSA runners like in the kitchen and dining room! I first saw this rug a couple years ago at my last home. I really wanted it, but we had already sold the home, so I had to sit tight and hope that I’d find a place for it some day and that day is here!!! I actually want to use the larger size as well…I have a serious rug addiction!
That to-die-for lidded basket is from the CANVAS line at Canadian Tire too…what can I say? They are turning it up! The baskets are such good quality and they add so much character. I love just putting pillows or towels inside, like in both the baskets in this bathroom.
I found the glass and brass bathroom accessories as well as the Turkish towels at Homesense, which is the Canadian version of Homegoods.
How about a couple more before shots? I’m sorry I know it hurts your eyes…squint k?!

Janet Labadie says
Absolutely stunning!
leslie says
Awww thanks!!! xoxox
Michelle Hurley says
Gorgeous! I agree – that all the finishes make it, but I also think that wood is a real star in this room. And I’ve come around to faux marble to save & splurge on this links faucets & lighting. Congrats on your great work!!
leslie says
Thank you!! Ok I have to try faux marble! So glad you like the wood…me too! Thank you for the comment Michelle!
Caledonia says
Beautiful bathroom…is there a source for the cabinetry and the mirror.
leslie says
Hi Caldonia,

Amanda says
I’d like yo know this too!
leslie says

Jessica Kipping says
Hi Leslie,
This might be too much information, but as a fellow Canadian that is very interested in a cabinet from restoration hardware I am curious as ot how you got it. Did you have it delivered? Did you get it at Detroit?
leslie says
I ship to Detroit Mailbox and sometimes I ask to pick up directly at the shipping warehouse. It’s a major pain because if it’s a lot of stuff we get a moving truck but worth it in the end. If you have a truck and it’s just a vanity it should be no problem. They do ship to Canada but in the past it’s been worth the hassle for the savings.
Hope that helps!
Sabrina says
Everything works so wonderful together!! Love the prints, the cabinets and the rug and… everything!!
leslie says
Hi Sabrina, thank you so much! So happy that you like!! Thank you for the comment!
Margaret says
I have a bathroom that could use your touch!…just saying. Love everything about this space. Warrior Woman, one of my favourites.💞 Making a trip to Canadian Tire, I love all the little touches.
leslie says
Hi “Miss Peggy”! Oh thanks so much!! We can go together! lol!!
Dara Luburgh says
Just beautiful…all of it! Each element is gorgeous, but together so awesome! That rug! Those cabinets! The marble! BAM! WIN!
leslie says
Ohmygosh! Thank you so much….so glad you like it!! Thanks for the super sweet and encouraging comment, Dara!
Jamie says
It’s just stopped me in my tracks! It’s absolutely jaw dropping. I love all the marble and those cabinets are dreamy. I chose faux marble for my recent master ensuite renovation but I really love real marble too. Funny that people comment about the rug and art. I think it’s the overall look people love. And I agree that Canadian Tire is turning it up finally!
Hugs, Jamie
leslie says
Hi Jamie…thank you so much! You have to tell it to me straight…real or faux marble? lol…I know I think I’m still a sucker for real…hahah…Thank you again for the boost of confidence!
Best,
Leslie
Christy @theharperhouse says
wow, so gorgeous! Love the feminine pink touches and thanks so much for the new art source. Love finding awesome new artwork! On the subject of faux vs. real marble, while I love the look of real marble I do NOT like cleaning it. Total pain in the butt! So personally, I’m going faux or ceramic subway tile in our upcoming master reno! I hate to admit it, but sometimes the practical side of me actually wins out. shhh, don’t tell my husband! 🙂
leslie says
Hi Christy! Thank you! I know it’s tough to balance form and function…I need to let function win sometimes! lol!
Sarah says
I am in love with it all, but I must say thank you for introducing me to Maren Divine. OMG!! I am ordering a few prints today. Just simply stunning! I am so glad I stumbled across your instagram page today 🙂
leslie says
Oh I’m so glad you found Maren too! Her work puts you in the best mood…can’t wait for you to experience it! Can’t wait to see which prints you get! Thanks so much for comment!
Claire says
Hi Leslie,
Can you tell me where your cabinetry is from? It looks custom but I’m hoping it’s affordable. I love the look!
Thanks!
leslie says
Hi Claire,
I got it on a super sale at Restoration Hardware…I don’t know if it’s still available but it was a great deal at the time.
Kristin Hansen says
I love this bathroom! Thank you for all the ideas and resources. I wish restoration hardware still carried the cabinetry 🙁
Bathroom remodeling Auckland says
Fabulous work !. You did a great job in renovating your bathroom. Especially the Maren Devine prints are awesome. And also love the baskets.
Bathroom repairs Rodney says
Your raw look wood is perfectly matching with tiles you have installed. And by keeping the vanity and toilet in the original place you have saved a lot of plumber money. Also the painting are really great and perfect for the bathroom.
leslie says
Hi Rodney…thanks so much….so glad you like the space!
Hannah Schroeder says
This renovation is amazing, and I love that you used white marble subway tile and a hexagon mosaic. I’ve been looking at other ensuite renovations because I don’t like anything about mine, but I have difficulties making choices about what I want. You have great taste, and I might take a few ideas for my remodel.
leslie says
Thank you so much!! Please take ideas!! That’s what I’m here for and thank you for the comment!
Ashley says
Hi! Do you mind telling me where the shower door handle and hinges are from? I have searched Delta’s website and I cannot seem to find it there.
leslie says
Yes those come from the shower glass company, we used Bayview Glass and they were awesome!
Ashley says
Thank you! Your remodel looks amazing! I don’t believe the glass company we are using has a color that matches. 🙁 Do you recall what the precise name of the metal was by any chance?
Larissa ~ Prodigal Pieces says
Just found your site via Pinterest and I’m enamored with your new bathroom. Wow!!
leslie says
Oh my gosh that’s so cool that Pinterest brought you here! Thank you so much!!
Cori says
I love the vanities and linen cupboards! Where did you get them? If they are custom, could you share some detail on them? Stain color, wood type, etc? Also, the hardware on them? Thanks so much!
leslie says
Thank you! They were from Restoration Hardware but they are no longer available, unfortunately. Thanks so much for the comment!
Teri C says
I’m doing a makeover bathroom and liked this style-clean updated boho. Were the cabinets retail or old..didn’t see it in the comments. Thanks!
leslie says
They were from Restoration Hardware. thanks
Margaret Dugan says
My husband and I are involved in a whole house renovation and I love this bathroom. The cabinetry is exactly what I’m planning. I had picked out my cabinetry from Restoration Hardware, but I’m really drawn to the cremone bolts;. Can you tell me where you got your cabinetry? I’m in love with your choices!
leslie says
thank you! These cabinets are from Restoration Hardware, I just don’t think they sell them anymore, darn! Thanks again!
Machel says
Love your bathroom design!! Do you mind sharing the wall paint color?
leslie says
the walls in this home were all painted Simply White by Benjamin Moore!
Katelyn says
Such a detailed question, but where did you find the metal clamps and door pull for the frameless door? I’m looking to source something to match these same gold fixtures. Thanks!
leslie says
they are from the shower glass place, it’s called Bayview Glass 😉
Mary says
The tile backlash behind sink/vanity, is it the same tiles as in the shower? I ADORE every element of this bathroom!
leslie says
It’s the same marble but a different size- subway behind sink and 12×24 in shower! thank you so much!
Claire Harper says
OK if you have had 1 million visitors from the same location in the last two months it’s because I am doing our bathroom almost exactly like this. I have several questions but I am so curious where you have outlets? I’m surprised I don’t see any around the sink area anywhere
leslie says
They are just on the wall behind the hand towels, so I hid them a bit 😉 Good luck with your reno, I’m sure it’s going to be amazing!!!
Dena says
Love the rug! Are the colors as light in your picture, because on rugs.com they are darker and brighter. I’m hoping they are more pastel!
leslie says
Yes the colours are a bit lighter, really pretty! Everyone who sees this rug in person loves it!
Maja Nezic says
Hello! Where is the gorgeous vanity and linen closet from? Please give me a name!!! Lovely work!
leslie says
They were from Restoration Hardware, I don’t think they are available anymore though, but take a peek in case! thanks again!
Diane cole says
I absolutely love your new bathroom. I love the art near the window best. The shower is exactly what I’m looking for.
leslie says
Thank you so much, so pumped you like it!
