Primary Bath Reveal


Oh friends, I’m so excited to finally share our new post-rain, post-construction, post-mess put back together bathroom with you!

We officially moved back into our bathroom the day before Thanksgiving, but we didn’t get the shutters installed until just last week…so, we had no light for me to take pics.  That being said, we’re now 100% back in, and I’m soooooooo pleased with the outcome.

I feel like we need to back up just a minute in case anyone is new around here…

May 2020: We began an upstairs addition to our house to add on a second story to a portion of our house that, at the time, didn’t have a second story.

June 19, 2020: Our roof was off a portion of the house so they could add the second floor.  We picked a nice rain-free few days to do this as to not flood out the house with rain.  It wasn’t supposed to have rained on this day.  It ended up pouring around 8:00 PM and then continued to rain until 6:00 AM the next morning.  Our temporary roof collapsed, and it therefore rained (actual rain) inside our house for about 10 hours.  In the process, it destroyed our entire ground floor which did not need to be renovated/updated/changed, buuuuuuut was gutted nonetheless in the days/months that followed.

Over the last 8 months, we’ve put the house back together (along with continuing the new addition), and slowly but surely, I have pics to share of completed areas.

You can see pics of this new bathroom post-rain right HERE.

The living room, kitchen, breakfast nook, dining room, study and patio all got put back together mid-September.  You can see that post HERE.

And then our bedroom, bathroom and closet were done the day before Thanksgiving…

They ripped everything back to the studs, so we had to start all over with our master bath.  Literally everything was taken out including the windows and toilet.  We started from scratch again (we just built our house in 2014!).

Soooooo…I would love to lie and say I had the best attitude about the whole thing, but really, it was hard for me.  I like quiet, clean and peace in my house…so this through me all for a loop.  My typical way of coping with stressful situations?  Clean something!  Ashby’s having an upcoming surgery?  I’ll clean out a closet.  I’ve had a stressful day at work (hello, COVID)?  I’ll organize the cups and plastic containers in a kitchen cabinet.  Cleaning is how I handle stress because it makes me feel in control of something when everything else is out of control (after 40 years, I’ve learned to accept this about myself), so needless to say, during these last 8 months, my car has been exceptionally clean 😉 .

For whatever reason, I never did a post on “this is our bathroom” in the six years that we’ve lived here, so I don’t have any great “before” pics to share.  You guys have seen it a hundred times in snippets of us being in there, but I never really stopped to take pics.  The day after the flood, my mom came through and photographed everything before they demoed it which ended up being a huge blessing for many reasons.  These are obviously not fabulous pics and were never meant to be on the internet, but here is what our bathroom looked like before it was gutted…

Travertine, cream colors, gold and blue wallpaper…I really loved it all.

I mean, these pics do not do it justice, sigh, but you get the point.

So, all of a sudden, we had to completely put it back together.  I told Andrew that I have been “training” for this moment for 10 years.  Ha!  I just opened my Pinterest boards, looked at what bathrooms I had been pinning over the last few years and decided to draw inspiration from that.

This time, I went all white 🙂 .

Here are the pics and then, I’ll share any sources I have at the bottom.  Welcome to our new bathroom, friends!

Whew!  A lot of pictures, but I wanted you to get the idea.  Ha!

A few things to note:
1: This time around, we added heaters under the floor, and they’re amazing.  We have timers set so that in the morning and at night, they automatically come on and warm up our feet.
2: I could not pick a wallpaper to save my life (I adore wallpaper), and as I kept going back to my Pinterest boards for inspo, it finally hit me that I actually liked paneling instead of paper in this all-white bathroom, so we did that this time instead.
3: You guys know that I struggled over paint BIG TIME over here.  I love taupes and cream, but wanted to put the house back together with a “fresh” feel since it felt like a new beginning. You all helped me pick paint colors (seriously, remember that time I weirded out the person at Sherwin Williams talking about you and then when they asked who “you” were I was like, um, my friends on the internet.  Ha!).  The entire house is now painted Sherwin Williams Moderate White except I wanted even whiter-white in the bathroom, so in this room, everything from the walls to the door to the trim, all of it is painted Sherwin Williams Greek Villa. I can already tell you that Mr. Clean Magic Erasers are my new best friend 😉 .
4: The floor and the shower are tile, but the countertops are a “matte” marble.  It wasn’t treated with anything; the slab is just found more matte than your typical glossy marble.  I love it.
5: The bathtub and light fixtures are from Restoration Hardware.
6: The cabinet hardware is from Schoohouse Hardware.
7: The ceiling fan is from Neiman-Marcus.
8: We had two doors leading into our bathroom before, but now, have a pocket door instead.

Did I miss anything???

One more room down!  Next up, I’m waiting for a few little details, and then, I’m going to give you a tour of the new Mix and Match Travel Agency office.

I really can’t say enough about how much you guys encouraged and loved on me last year.  It was crazy and not how we thought we’d spend our year, but I’m certainly more blessed because of the encouragement, love and support from you.

    SHAY!!!! I haven’t seen it all finished and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! It’s STUNNING! LOVE the white, LOVE the paneling, LOVE the light fixtures, LOVE the ceiling fan, LOVE IT ALL!!

    • Kandi Barber says

      It is just lovely! Worth the wait?. Living in Iowa I’m totally wishing I had those warm floors HA!

  3. Sarah Shaneyfelt says

    WOW! What a huge transformation and I love it! I love the molding you added on the walls–it looks beautiful! Love everything you did to your “new” bathroom!

    • Lori says

      Beautiful! I need to do a bathroom renovation as well and you have totally inspired me. I am also going to run and try to buy that ceiling fan! And please note that I hate ceiling fans!?

      Looking forward to an updated closet tour next. I’ve been reading your blog for a long time so I know how much you love (and we love) your bags, so it made me feel so happy when I saw them through the doorway. it was like “ woo how! My friend finally got her space back”. Yes, my friend who I’ve never met but I feel like we are ?‍♀️

  4. Danette says

    WOW! Absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!!! “pinning” every single picture right now! ?? Have an amazing day!! x

    • Carly says

      Hampton Chic all the way! Love it all, just beautiful and timeless. Love herringbone floor pattern and the paneling on walls, lighting, mirrors. SO much better than a typical TEXAS design of heavy wood, tile and wood grains, large everything. I say that with love, we lived in Southlake for 5 years and in all 12 states we lived in never saw design and furniture like in Texas. You did a fabulous design Shay!!!

  7. Maggie Brown says

    Gorgeous! Love all the white! Just curious….what material is the shutter in the shower made of to be waterproof? Also, where do you put your makeup on without a vanity area? Thanks so much for the tour! ❤️

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      They created a shutter in the shower that is waterproof! And my makeup goes in the drawers you see right there. Thank you!

  8. Maggie Eterno says

    I love love love it!!!! My husband and I do flip projects and I love seeing before and afters. I think the white and the wood paneling on the wall was the perfect choice! It’s beautiful!

  12. Julie says

    Aww it looks beautiful! So sleek and polished. I’m so happy for you that it’s all done and you can have a nice space to unwind in again. You had the best attitude about it all-give yourself credit! It was a rough situation, especially during Covid, and you remained as upbeat as you could. Can’t wait to see the new office space!

  16. Tara G. says

    We had heated bathroom floors when we lived overseas. It was glorious. I found them handy when my dough needed to rise, too. ?

  18. Kristen says

    I LOVE IT!!! And that tub looks amazing !!! 🙂 I can’t wait to see your new work space!!

  20. Kelly says

    Breathtaking, Shay! It reminds me of a spa or hotel bathroom, just stunning!

    Does Andrew also have his closet in the bathroom? I think that’s a genius idea to have his/hers walk ins if so! So many homes just have one large walk in and this has given me an idea for my own upcoming Reno… this Type A gal is going to have to use your advice that the mess will eventually be over 😉

  22. TrishR says

    Is it weird that I want to live in your master bath now??

    Beautiful!! So sorry you had to go through all of this – especially in 2020! But so happy you are finding peace and quiet again 🙂

  23. Sheaffer Sims says

    STUNNING. This is STUNNING. The floors, the tub, the mirrors, the sconces. ALL OF IT. It’s just absolutely beautiful. Wow.

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      My mom is an interior designer, so between her and Pinterest, I had lots of resources!

  27. Amy says

    Love this beautiful new space! Can you tell us where your shutters came from? And is the one in your shower wood or composite?

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      Just a local shutter company here in McKinney. And yes, the one in the shower is not wood!

  28. Alexx says

    That is seriously the most stunning bathroom I have ever seen! It gives me a luxury Paris hotel feel! You did a great job with it. I cannot wait to see the rest of the house post flood!

  30. Tracy says

    So elegant and beautiful! Bet the littles can’t wait to use that new tub for a mermaid party or two. You made lemonade out of lemons! “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” – Isaiah 43:18-19. God miraculously transforms chaos to new life. Beauty from ashes. 🙂

  31. Jo Ellen Hickey says

    What a beautiful bathroom! Your timing is impeccable! This morning my husband and I are meeting with a contractor about our master bathroom makeover. Our bathroom is currently very similar to your before pictures. Thanks for the inspiration!

  34. Ralinn says

    Your bathroom is stunningly gorgeous! I wish we could all see it in person. No matter how beautiful pictures are at never will do a room justice. You did fabulous with your choices.
    I love Magic Eraser too and whoever invented it.
    Will you share where your silver tray is from?

  36. Lori Whittington says

    Gorgeous! So the shutters in the shower, do they get wet? Also we NEED a closet tour stat! 🙂

  37. Linda Henderson says

    Absolutely lovely! Some things that really caught my eye–the floor, the ceiling fan, the pulls on your drawers, the wonderful tub with tray. Enjoy! It’s just wonderful.

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      They are just custom to fit the space. We had a glass company come in and measure to cut them and then someone else came in and added the simple the frame around the edge.

  41. Dana says

    LOVE IT! And you had me at heated floors set on a timer?! Amazing!!

    Also 2 funny things-I stress clean too and just learned last week that that’s a real thing! And wallpaper…I don’t know anyone in my circle of friends who likes wallpaper?! It’s the most fun and fast way to really change a room! I love your little bathroom.

  42. Tracy Doubts says

    Oh my word!! It is absolutely gorgeous and that tub is perfection. Just never know what the Lord has planned for us. Thank you for sharing, you and Andrew did a great job!!

  43. Holly says

    Hey Shay – the bathroom looks AMAZING! Quick question for you – now that you have had your bathroom floor in for a few months, I am curious to hear your feedback. We are gutting our master bath this spring as part of a more extensive remodel, and I am stuck on what to do with the flooring?? I love the look of the shiny tile, and it is absolutely be my first choice from a looks perspective, but now I am worried that it will be slippery? What are your thoughts??

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      I think bathroom floors are hard either way. Outside, we have travertine around our pool and sometimes, I feel myself slipping on that too and it’s matte. So far, so good, but please, feel free to reach back out and check with me later on too!!

  44. Karen says

    I love love love this! It looks so fresh and updated! The all white, the paneling, the brass, the marble, the standalone tub, the tile in the shower and on the floor, and the sconces installed on the mirror is a very cool look! The view into your closet is amazing!

  46. Kim Westcott says

    It’s beautiful! I especially love the floor tile. And I had no idea Neiman Marcus sold ceiling fans so I had to scroll back up and take a closer look!

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      Me either! Ha! Catherine suggested it, and I loved it!! It was the first thing I purchased when re-doing it!

  48. Serena Welch says

    THIS.IS.SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!! WHAT A DREAM!!! I love it all!! From the herringbone marble floors, paneling on the walls, the incredible tub and the CLOSET. OH, my heavens!!!!!! It looks straight out of a magazine! You did an incredible job picking everything out! Thank you for sharing now I’m off to remodel my master bathroom!

  51. Laci Murray says

    Oh my goodness I love the white and the fresh clean slate!! That closet chandelier has my heart!

  52. Beck says

    Gorgeous! You certainly made lemonade out of lemons, and being real bout the process, and trying to keep a positive attitude, has been a wonderful example.
    Quick question – can you tell us where the bath and shower fixtures are from? I apologize if I missed it. Thank you!

  53. Marlene says

    Absolutely gorgeous! That looks like it was worth the wait! So fresh and clean, and I adore the clear knobs/fan and the tile! Do you have problems with hair spray building up/sticking on cabinets, walls, etc? Just curious if you had a magic solution??!!

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      That’s from Frontgate! I had it before the flood, so I’m not sure if it’s still in stock.

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      Okay, I just tried finding the source in my deleted emails. I googled it and found someone who sold it online (it wasn’t through Etsy). It was some random shop (I think in New York???). I’ll keep looking!

      • Tamara says

        Thank you! Those aren’t inexpensive and I’d rather know it is quality and looks nice rather than just taking a guess with an unknown. The reviews on Etsy are all over the place, so that makes me a bit nervous.

  57. Ranisa Brletich says

    I saw the tub in the corner and I thought-now how in the world does she get back there to take care of the floor in that corner?! Then I remembered DYSON STICK VAC! ??. It looks beautiful!

  58. Lizzie says

    It’s beautiful, Shay! Almost makes me wish it would rain in my house—joking, not joking. LOL

  59. Rebecca @ EveryPieceFits.com says

    I love it! It’s definitely bright and chic. I know the change was unexpected after the rain’s destruction but on the other side of the construction you have a new and gorgeous space!

  61. Dana says

    I noticed you have a window in your shower. We will be renovating our bathroom next year but I have a small window issue. Can you tell me what you think and where you got the blind from? Thank you!

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      So, it’s a plantation shutter like the rest of the house, but all of the ones in the showers (all of our showers have windows) are made of a water-proof material instead of wood.

  62. Ashlee Hawkins says

    Love the new bathroom! The white is so fresh and absolutely gorgeous! I noticed your LV perfumes. I have been wanting one since you did your perfume post several months ago, and they were highly recommended. Which of those two do you like best?

  64. Patty Anderson says

    Those floors! Oh my goodness, they’re gorgeous as is the entire bathroom. You did a fabulous job. I’d sure appreciate any tips you have for cleaning shower glass. What a pain. Well done, Shay!

  67. Angela says

    Oh Shay, it’s beautiful!!!!! So happy for you guys and thank you for sharing all the pics as your renovate your beautiful home. The colors, the new tub, the countertops…all of it looks perfect and fresh! A few questions: is that a pocket door heading into your closet or just an open doorframe? Is that Kerastase products I see in your shower? They’re the only hair care products I use and I love them so much! How do you organize your beauty products? Your counters are spotless! Do you keep make up in a makeup tote/case and set it up on your counter to use when you’re getting ready? What about all of your hair products and curling irons? I think it’d be a great idea to blog post about your master bathroom organization! I’m always needing ideas to be more organized. Thanks again for sharing…I always love your style!!

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      Answering them all!! 🙂 So, when we re-did the closet the first time (about three years ago…yes, we’ve now “done” the closet three times…sigh), we had the door removed. I always keep it nice and tidy in there, so we don’t have one. And YES!! Okay, hair post coming soon, but I’ve been trying them out (several varieties) since about October. All of my makeup is in the drawers you see there. Hair products are under the sink and curling irons/etc are in the cabinets below.

  68. Bernadine says

    I love the clean/white/fresh look! When do you watch TV? Just thinking that the angle might be a bit “off” when you actually take a bath – is it more for when you get ready in the morning?

    Looking forward to a little “live tour” on IG later on to see the flow of the bathroom and what’s behind some of those doors and drawers 🙂

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      Yes! It’s more for getting ready than anything. We watch everything from shows on Netflix to the morning news. It’s always a random assortment!

  70. Janet Teeter says

    I especially like the insets in the shower…one for the tall person, and below that one for the “not tall” person?.

  71. Keisha Dawson says

    Shay, It’s absolutely gorgeous! I LOVE all the white, paneling, and marble. We just moved into our new home December 19th, and our bathrooms are very, very similar. Congratulations! I can’t wait to see the office space.

  72. Sara says

    We are about to redo our master bath so this is great inspiration. Thank you for sharing! One questions-where do you hang your towels? I am struggling to find a spot in our new set up since we will be taking away the door that they currently hang on and putting in a pocket door.

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      The door you see there on the left is for the toilet area and we have two hooks on the back of it for towels. Good luck with your redo!!

  73. Kathy Wood says

    Oh my gosh! It is so refreshing and beautiful! LOVE the paneling. Love it all! I was wondering about Moderate white and Greek Villa for the outside of my house in the future so now I’m able to see it. Can you come update my house? or send Lovey over? ?. I understand the cleaning obsession. My goal would be to keep my house as clean as yours but when anxiety hits I am in cleaning organizing mode. I giggled about how clean your car is now.

  74. Wendy says

    Beautiful!!! Buuuuut, let’s talk about the closet. The sneak peek looks like Carrie Bradshaws from Sex in the City!!

  75. Maura says

    Just beautiful! Seriously looks like a spa! Can’t take the tease of the master closet… will you ever consider sharing a post on closet organization and how to build one from scratch? The options out there seem overwhelming!

  76. Wannie says

    Love your new bathroom! It feels so spacious and bright. I have a weird question, but where does your towel go when you’re in the shower? lol. I didn’t see a spot to hang it (unless it’s inside the shower in a section that wouldn’t get wet?)

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      We just throw it over the top of the shower door (it doesn’t reach the top, so there’s a space between the glass and the frame).

  78. Amanda says

    Love it! Absolutely love the tile! And heated floors were a great add on! I have a friend that did that and it’s amazing! Will be on my wish list at some point 🙂 What are the two doors on each side of your closet? Linen closets?

  80. Dawn Richardson says

    Shay…..All your hard work and sleepless nights paid off! Your bathroom is fantastic, I love it all!! I am thrilled for you and Andrew that the light at the end of the tunnel may now be peeking through.

  81. Helen says

    Do I dare say that this was a catastrophe turned BLESSING!? I meannn, you got to revamp your bathroom, it’s gorgeous and so inviting and bright. Thank you for sharing your journey!

  83. Alison T. says

    Stunning. And the white really captures that oasis-feeling of calm and clean. So well done!! I can only imagine how good it feels to have that personal space back in order!

  84. Tracey says

    Do you know the “name” of your marble on the countertops? I currently have shadow storm marble and love it also. We are selling and about to build again and would love to look at this for a new option.

  85. Christa says

    I love the changes. The white is beautiful. We redid our master bath late 2019, early 2020 and similar colors. We love a calming bathroom and one that is bright. We have a window in ours so went with a moody dark gray for our floor tiles. I love your updated tub. We are not bathtub fans, so took ours our and put in a bigger shower. We want this to be a good age in place house too.

  86. Emily says

    Thank you for sharing in a post awhile back that your son does so much better in the mornings if he gets up earlier. My 7 year old has been trying it this week and it’s wonderful. She’s not dragging her feet, she gets a head start on her after school goals, and is just happier when she heads off to school ? Thank you for the tip!

  88. Kim says

    Yay! So HAPPY for you! Now, “they” said we need a slumber party ASAP!?
    You’ve done a fantastic job and I love how you created a neutral palate with such elegant finishes. Hopefully this will be your last re-do! Enjoy your beautiful space and when life gets crazy “we” will know where to find you! Lol

  89. Michelle Kimery says

    Wow – it’s absolutely breathtaking! I’d love to either soak in that tub or enjoy the shower with two shower heads! And I’m a sucker for paneling!! Also, I love the marble – and I’m a huge fan of herringbone pattern!!! I’m so glad your home is coming back together room by roo

    I have a question for you – would you share the Dr’s office & Dr that helped you with HRT regulation?

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      Oh yes! I share his info all the time because the man is brilliant 🙂 . Dr. Chris Riegel at the Riegel Center for HRT. You can find him on FB and his website!

  90. Louise says

    Did you keep all the old cabinets? I was looking to paint but the styles have changed – the shaker style seems to be what’s in – thinking I will start new but looks like you kept the original? I guess lucky not damaged by the water

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      A normal one. The cord is just tucked right behind it where the socket is located.

  92. Stephanie S. says

    So.Much.Pinspiration! The floors, the paneling, the CEILING FAN, oh my!! I could go on and on. It’s really beautiful. Definitely worth the wait.

  93. Karah Stracener says

    Oh my goodness your bathroom is absolutely gorgeous!!! I love it all. I think my favorite part are the mirrors with the sconces on them. I know you are so happy it’s all done! I would also love for you to do a closet tour. I love that chandelier hanging in there.

  94. Misty S. says

    Absolutely beautiful!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the tile. We have been in our house for 15 years and redoing our master bath is high on my list. But the only thing I can think about when I look at your tub is how hard it’ll be to clean the floor on the back side. LOL!!!

  96. Ahna Fulmer says

    Ahh so pretty! Love the fresh clean look and paneling with box trim is one of my FAVORITE looks and is quintessentially French Country. Beautifully done!

  97. Sara says

    Love all the white and gray. The brushed bronze fixtures are stunning. That tub is my dream tub — a true soaker. Enjoy!!!!

  101. Marissa says

    Looks absolutely stunning!!! This is random but do you like and where did you get the small vanity mirror sitting on your counter? I need a good recommendation for one!! Thanks so much!!

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      It was one of my Friday Faves just a few weeks ago! The brand is Riki Loves Riki from Nordstrom!

  102. Tiff says

    Wow wow wow this looks like a luxury hotel!

    On another note where is the little table mirror on your vanity from?

  105. Kelly says

    Shay, it’s stunning!!! I am such a detail person and you’ve just nailed every one, well done! Love the bathtub and I’m a shower girl but that looks so dreamy:).

  106. Tina says

    This is GORGEOUS!? Maybe your Sherwin Williams experience gave you a little snippet of how we all feel when we talk about you to friends and family like we actually know you and are great friends.??
