Which One Wednesday {Master Bathroom}

August 8, 2012 by Courtney 46 Comments

I am back today with the second week of Just Four Things. If you are just popping in to my blog for the first time,  I normally chose readers’ spaces to transform with just four things. Each Wednesday, I gave you all a choice of two different items to help our client with their space. You can see the reveal of the last installment here. This time it’s my space! We are doing a little overhaul of our master bathroom with just four things to give it more sophistication and charm. justfour37 ……………………………………..master bathroom Here is a reminder of what I am working with: 2012-07-31-13.02.003 Last week I gave you a choice of two countertops. The overwhelming majority chose the Cambria Quarts {Torquay} Cambria-Torquay-Kitchen-and-Bathroom[1] ……………………………………..framing the mirror This week we are focusing on the rather boring builder grade mirror that we are sporting. I would love to add a frame to it to add a little more elegance and a more finished feel. I am a big fan of Mirror Mate and plan to use one of their frames. Here are some more photos of the space. 2012-07-31-13.03.033 2012-07-31-13.03.453   2012-07-31-13.04.403 Here is a view showing the top of the mirror 2012-07-31-13.04.503   I am planning to change the following four things: Countertops Frame the Mirror Lighting Faucets Here is a little mood board of what is already going on in the space so you can get a better idea of what will be staying. …………………………….…here’s what’s staying OB-Courts-Bathroom4   This week’s Which One Wednesday is all about framing out the mirror. I have narrowed it down to two choices. Please weigh in with which one you would go with. Here are two different styles from Mirror Mate: Mirror Frame Choice #1 2012-08-07 15.58.54

 
 
Mirror Frame Choice #2

  2012-08-07 15.58.38   If you were designing this makeover, would you go with the dressier feel of number one or gravitate towards the simplicity of number two? I want to know! {Size wise. . . they are relatively the same}   justfour41 So cast your vote! Please leave a comment telling me whether you would go with choice #1 or choice #2!

    Love #2! And, you will be amazed at the difference the frame makes. We had ours done (our downstairs bath was framed when we bought the house, but the upstairs were not). I had our cabinet guy make ours custom to make the downstairs, and then had them painted. It made all the difference in the word. Ours were chunky, so it did "shorten" the mirror a bit. Took a little getting used to, but we love them none the less.

    #2 and then you can jazz it up with some fancy lighting. 🙂 I love how easy it is to make choices for OTHER people, rather than my own space. 🙂

    At first I thought #1 to match the chandelier, but considering the marble detail I'm now thinking #2. I agree with another post you can dress up with lighting and accessories.

    Hard choice! But I think #1 would be a pretty bit of jewelry to dress up the space.

    I love the little bit of glam of #1, but #2 is a bit more versatile I think and if you decide to change the style of the bathroom down the road #2 is simple enough that it would go with most styles. I can't wait to see the options for lighting and the faucet!

    Here are my 2 cents: I love the detail on #1, but since I live with a frame like this already and have had to clean out dust mixed with hairspray/water/etc. I have to vote for #2. It's a pain to clean and is dirty by the following month.
    Can't wait to see what you choose!! btw, the jeans are fab!

    I like #2 and the simplicity of it. I really want you to remove that builder mirror and put up a cool framed smaller mirror. Because then I can show my DH. He's convinced that our GINORMOUS mirror is glued to the wall and will make a ginormous mess with the dywall. I'm convinced that it is merely sitting in the cute little channel thingy on the bottom and just those little plastic thingies are holding it on the top.
    Sooooo….. would you take one for team and prove me RIGHT????

    I like #2, but that's very similar to what we have in our bathroom. I just wish they didn't put the frame right on the backslash- I think the mirror would've looked better a few inches higher- ug! Here's the link if you want to see what I mean. http://honeywerehome.blogspot.com/2012/06/our-master-bathroom.html

    That being said, I also like #1- doesn't it kinda go with the large mirror in your bedroom??

    I like No. 2 because of the clean lines. Although, I am biased because I have mirrors with a similar moulding in my family bathroom. It will echo the nice crown molding you already have in your master bath. Can't wait to see the faucet choices!

    Oh this is a hard choice. I really love both of them. I guess it depends on the overall look you're going for. I love the detail in #1. It would add some glamor to the space.
