This modern farmhouse bathroom remodel takes a small space and turns it into a bright, luxurious master bathroom. A walk in shower, subway tile, new lighting and modern farmhouse decor opens and brightens the space.
When we moved into our home we had one and a half baths and we knew we wanted to turn the half bath off the master into a full master bathroom.
We closed off a wall, added a shower and updated the paint and fixtures, plus added some modern decor.
