HOA: Home Owning Adventures: Master bath inspiration

There is an endless list of small projects that we will be tackling pretty much constantly such as replacing cabinet knobs, painting, etc. However, I wanted to share the few big projects (and by "big", I mean "expensive") that we plan to take on in the future.

The first big project we want to tackle is closing in the backyard. Our house is on a corner lot with the front facing one street and the driveway on the other. Because of this, you have to walk across our carport to get to the backyard. Alton wants to get a dog as soon as we can (another big project in itself, but not home-related.) So we need to figure out the best way to fully fence in the yard, including going across the driveway.

The second big project we plan to do is to transform the ginormously hugegantic triangular bathtub in the master bathroom into a ginormously hugegantic walk-in shower. The master bath currently has no shower and we are not really bath people, so if we are only going to have one or the other, we would prefer a shower over a tub. We could put in a nice tub/shower combo but hey, where's the fun in that?

If you know me, you know that as soon as the words "bathroom renovation" were mentioned, my imagination was going crazy trying to picture what I wanted. I ultimately decided that as the master bathroom, this space should be a calm spa-like retreat and I've pulled together some inspiration photos to share with you.

I'm really loving white cabinets with marble tops.

This one has a more modern feel with the glass tile in the shower. I like that they did a pattern with the shower tile. I think stripes would look good if they were done in the same color scheme, but alternating between marble and glass.
