Our main level powder room was very outdated when we moved in. I wanted this bathroom to be bright and white with some pops of color. I also knew I REALLY REALLY wanted gray herringbone floor tile! Here are all the details on our Powder Room Remodel:

Here are a few before pictures of this bathroom right when we first moved it:

Vanity

We purchases a beautiful black vanity from Wayfair similar to this vanity or this vanity.
I was debating between a black vanity or a gray vanity and after lots of going back and forth, we decided on black. This vanity has slow close drawers and doors and had killer reviews on Wayfair so we knew we couldn’t go wrong with this purchase.
We bought $900 worth of Wayfair gift cards off of eBay at 10% off. Those gift cards plus a coupon saved us almost $100 people! Buying discounted gift cards is SO EASY to do and we highly recommend it 🙂
Tile
Like I said before, gray herringbone floor tile was a MUST for this project. I seriously can’t contain how excited I am about this herringbone floor!! AHHH! We chose 4X12 gray tile from a local tile shop in Rochester, MN and decided on white grout. I think it turned out AMAZING!!
We also thought it would be fun to use 3X12 white subway tile on the walls. So we bought this tile from Home Depot and used a light gray grout. Love!
Prints
I found my prints from MyPaperHouseShop on Etsy. Albina has bright and beautiful downloadable prints (see my Gallery Wall with Etsy Prints post here for more details on MyPaperHouseShop). I wanted the prints to be bright and allow for the pop of color in the neutral space.

We purchased our white faux wood blinds from blinds.com. I love Blinds.com because they have the best customer service and a wide variety of blinds.
Decor

We purchases the vanity mirror at Tjmaxx AKA my favorite place to buy mirrors, because they are unique, beautiful and so affordable! We also custom made the L shaped shelf for above the toilet with a quick and easy DIY!
This project was so much fun to design! I absolutely love my pops of color and how modern the room looks now! Can’t wait for the next design project!
What tile shop did you purchase the flooring from in Rochester? Do you mind sharing the cost per tile? It’s so pretty!
Hi Ashley! We got the gray tile from Degeus Tile & Granite in Rochester, MN. I am thinking it was about $5-6 a square foot!
Do you know the brand or name of the floor tile? I love it! I want it for my kids bath!
Melinda, The tile was something very similar to this tile: https://www.ceramic-tile4u.com/gazzini-met-grey-4×12.html. My exact tile is discontinued.
Bravo!! I love the way this turned out. Nicely done. (visiting from savvysouthernstyle)
Thank you so much!! I’m very excited about how everything came together 🙂
Love this! So pretty and what a difference. Doesn’t even look like the same bathroom. We are remodeling our small guest bath right now and I’m trying to find a light gray paint for the walls…would you mind telling me what paint color your walls are?
Thanks 😊

Yes! My walls in the Powder Room are Zircon, Sherwin Williams!
Hi. Do you know the name and brand of the herringbone tile you used? Love it!
Thank you so much for reaching out!! This is the link to the floor tile: https://www.unitedtile.com/products/HOME/PRODUCTS/PRODUCTS-NEW/GAZZINI-MET.aspx. We bought it at a local tile shop in Rochester, MN and they had it in 4″X12″. The color is gray. I love it 🙂
Remodeling can also take on the form of revamping or adding a bathroom, redoing a kitchen, overhauling your home’s exterior for improved curb appeal, or completing an addition to increase your home’s square footage and add valuable space. Big and small changes can both have an impact and will improve the way your home looks and functions, increasing its value and making it more enjoyable for you and your family.

I like the metal trim you used on your wall tiles. If you would have to use chrome trim instead would you still go with the same wall color paint or would you go with a different wall color?
Hi Daisy! Chrome would be fun! I would probably still stick with the same wall color or maybe go with a little bit warmer gray like Repose Gray from SW. The colors are so neutral I think they would still look good. Are you using chrome hardware and light fixtures? That would be a good way to tie in the chrome throughout the space.
How did you mount your mirror? We’re remodeling our bathroom and I would love to hang our mirror down over the tile. People look at me weird when I say that, but obviously it can be done!
Hi Marcia! We actually mounted our mirror above where the wall tile stops. So we didn’t actually screw into the tile. You can drill into tile as long as you are on studs (or use a wall anchor and screw) and use a drill bit made for tile. I’m sorry I wasn’t much help! Thanks for following along on my blog 🙂
Hi there, I love how this looks! You did an amazing job, what a transformation! I was also wondering if you could list the vanity light? I cant see it in the photos but I have a similar room like this and i NEED to change out our light.
Thank you so much! Our light we bought is out of stock now, but it is similar to this light: https://rstyle.me/+Iv8cZu-UUBSxaax3fBrXYA. Changing out a light can make such a difference in a space! I hope this helps!
Your bathroom looks so cozy!
Thank you so much! We are so happy with the results 🙂
Hello, Love your floors. The link you posted for the 4×12 gray tiles only offers special order over 500 square feet. Do you know of the store you ordered them from and if they ship? Thank you for your help!
Hey! We bought these tiles form DeGeus Tile in Rochester, MN. If you don’t live near Rochester, you might be able to visit a local tile shop and see if they can order it for you. I hope this was helpful 🙂
Can you please upload a photo of the box or some other identifying information for the floor tile? We contacted the tile store you mentioned however it would be good if I could go somewhere local and pick it up in person.
Unfortunately, I do not have the box anymore. I did find the tile at my local tile shop. Maybe you could ask for the specific brand or color when visiting the shop? Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful!
Hello! I am looking to do a similar look with white subway tiles and light grey grout. What color and brand did you use?
Alex, we got the simple white subway tiles from Home Depot and used TEC Skill Set grout in Silverado (988). I think you can find that Home Depot or Lowe’s! I hope this helps!
Wow! The result is amazing! Great job!
I love new colors!
Thank you so much!
This is truly beautiful! I’m currently remodeling our bathroom. What size is this powder room?
Alla, Our bathroom is about 7ft by 4ft! Good luck with your remodel 🙂

LOVE the bathroom. Hoping to something similar. What color paint did you use? That’s where I always struggle- color selection. 😔
Thank you! Zircon from Sherwin Williams 🙂
OMG I love your floor tile and want to get it for my bathroom, but can not find anywhere. You don’t happen to know the brand????
Thank you so much 🙂 It’s my favorite flooring in our house! Here is a link to a similar tile: https://www.ceramic-tile4u.com/gazzini-met-grey-4×12.html. My tile was dicontinued and I got it at a local tile shop in Rochester, MN. Finding a tile in a matte gray color in the 4×12 size would give you a similar look. And white grout. Good luck 🙂

Love the info one your blog. If you’re remodeling make sure you hire an HVAC company to handle the ventilation in any remodel or additional rooms.
I like your floral prints and watercolour painting. Powdered blue is my favorite color and my entire bathroom follows monochrome shade. it appears large and smart too.
By installing tile flooring in your home, you can bump up the resale price and recoup some of the costs of installation when you sell.
