You Won’t Believe This Bathroom Renovation: Vintage and Thrifted Inspired!

During the three years I’ve been on KZbin, I have been too embarrassed to show our primary bathroom in videos. Although I made a number of small updates over the years, it remained the ugliest room in our home. So, we finally committed to a down to the studs renovation! The room makeover is dramatic! We took our outdated and unattractive bathroom and turned it into a beautiful, functional space full of vintage charm and lots of thrift stores finds! It is an amazing bathroom transformation. I can’t wait for you to see the before and after!

Having a tradesman for a hubbie, i really appreciated that you complimented your tradies publicly on their skill.

[@CanterburyCottage]

The tile job in my bathroom that was cracked and deteriorating was clearly the previous owners DIY project! It is definitely worth hiring a professional if you want something done well! I sure wish more young people were going into the trades!

I'm very much convinced that the only thing this woman doesn't do is fly! ❤

[@trudy6971]

I think you are right! She’s a genius! I love the way she explains everything along the way and links all the products she uses. ❤️🙏❤️

[@heatherburrill]

I love how your house had a beautiful surprise behind the walls = beautiful bricks and a bit of history too 😊

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you! Much better than finding termites (although we did find water damage under the floor boards)!

[@heatherburrill]

@@CanterburyCottage 😅 so true! And water damage addressed and resolved 🥰

[@silverfox70]

It’s gorgeous the vintage look with the claw foot tub and your vanity with your beautiful upgrades to the knobs, you’re so creative and talented. God bless enjoy your new bathroom!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much! I am enjoying it SO much. I’ve been putting my laptop on the toilet and watching KZbin videos while I soak in the tub!😜

[@sing2me]

​@CanterburyCottage Opening the door for the final reveal took my breath away for that vanity, tub and those brick walls. All the added touches were uniquely you. The way you flow, it all comes together, beautifully.

[@marycoffee7366]

For the architecture salvage piece, how about using some dark wax to bring out the details without changing the colors???

I love it with the exception of placement of your fresh towels next to the toilet...

[@merryaijlman7833]

Wow, your bathroom came out so cozy and beautiful, Sherry. As always you did yourself proud. The brick gives it character, and the fireplace is perfect in its new spot. ❤😊

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Merry! I can’t believe I finally have a nice bathroom. We have always lived in homes with outdated bathrooms.

[@maggiepadilla6915]

I didnt think your old bathroom looked that bad, but your new one is gorgeous! You have the touch, thats for sure!❤❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Maggie! I have seen bathrooms even worse than my old one. I tried to make it look pretty, but my husband always said I was putting lipstick on a pig.

[@bethbranson9050]

Dramatically improved with so much charm!! Love the final result!! Great job!!

[@sylviajones4907]

Bet you are smiling ear to ear when you walk in there. So gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

[@ginacrusco234]

The floor pattern is just classic, and the soffit removal was a huge improvement! My favorite area is just outside the bathroom, where your adorned the newly-revealed brick wall with a mirror and a bench.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Gina! I was actually in a thrift/antique store and saw that bench when I used the store restroom. They hadn’t priced or put it out yet, but I asked and they sold it to me. I was so happy when it fit in that spot!

[@hollychristensen6699]

Love it. I also loved the wallpaper in the old bath.

[@BeckyM154]

The brick wall is perfect for your faux fireplace. Everything looks beautiful.

[@elizabethrocha975]

Sherry, You have outdone yourself again. Keep up the work and deliver more project photos to us. You Virtual Neighbor, Liz

[@tamaraatkinson940]

Love that you left the brick exposed, what a fun discovery for you! Bathrooms are so pricey to remodel, especially if you move plumbing as you did. I love that you went for it and didn’t scrimp on what you really wanted. The tile floor is perfect in the space. As usual, good job girl!

[@carlaking3459]

I always love a lamp in a bathroom. ❤ the makeover is inspiring! Glad you kept the vintage charm of the era. The brick was a fabulous find, too!!

[@shelleybeard1830]

That turned out so lovely. It's always amazing when you can use stuff out of your stash and it matches.

[@kerstindrost5610]

What a beautiful transformation. I don't know how you always can bring the things together so well.

[@shannoncook9915]

I LOVE IT ALL!! I am excited to see darker vanities, cabinets, etc. coming back as they add such a warmth to spaces

[@jodilea144]

Oh, Sherry, it’s absolutely beautiful! All of the little details just work so well together!

[@lanet9442]

Absolutely gorgeous! Amazing how your thrift store find fits right in!

[@katherinepereira9088]

Hi Sherry. I wouldn't have labeled your bathroom an "ugly duckling". It is filled with your unique charm. However, that makeover - well, it's pretty friggin' amazing! Just love it. I especially love that towel rack and I'm so glad you kept the exposed brick.

[@laurindamclean7510]

Turned out so beautiful!!! What a pleasure to take a bath or shower in that space... Amazing!

[@shelly1224]

What a gorgeous transformation. Finding that brick was so fortunate. It looks beautiful. I love the way you updated and fixed your bathroom, but still made it look so vintage. Another beautiful video. I look forward to your new videos every Monday. You have given us such great ideas and inspiration.

[@lovingmayberry307]

O. M. G. The exposed brick and the penny tile! Two of my favorite things! And the architectural thing that became the towel holder...chef's kiss! All just gorgeous!! ❤

Bright, but very relaxing. And full of yummy vintage!

[@catherineanhari7573]

They are 6 sided hex tile , penny tiles are round ….what a beautiful transformation.. thanks for another fantastic video

It's amazing that ,even with the tub, the new bathroom still looks more roomy than before! It's absolutely beautiful,Sherry, as is all of your work. I love the chandelier above that claw foot tub, the vignette above the toilet and that architectural piece you turned into a towel hanger. 😍😍😍 I think you made a great choice in keeping that brick and moving the faux fireplace in that spot.

Lovely. I love the exposed brick. What a great find!

Thank you! For some reason, I thought the chimney would be a metal surround. It never occurred to me that we would find brick. The positive of finding brick outweighed the negative of also finding water damage!

Good evening Sherry! Oh, how fabulous your “new” bathroom is! It’s like modern meets beautiful vintage vibes! The brick wall is a great discovery and your towel rack is perfect! I wouldn’t change it at all. You have accessorized it beautifully in your style! Even the fireplace on the brick wall in your bedroom looks as if the two pieces were waiting on each other to meet! I imagine this is a dream come true for you! Congratulations! 🌞💕

Thank you so much, Kathy! Yes, it is a dream. In the three apartments and three houses we have lived in over the years, we have never had a nice bathroom.

[@foxymama9203]

How serendipitous that under the drywall was that gorgeous brick!!! Usually opening walls is associated with finding expensive bad news but you hit the reno lottery!!!! Your bathroom is now a calming beautiful space to unwind after working so hard to bring us consistent quality content and you deserve it after waiting for so long! Edit: your videos introduced me to William Morris prints and I found 3 prints one with a fox (our last name so I have a lot of collectibles I have accumulated over our 28 years of marriage), one print with a bunny and one with a deer all on the same peacock pattern! The bunny and deer are going in my bedroom and bathroom and the fox in my living room with my other vintage fox prints! I can’t believe I didn’t know who William Morris was and his stunning prints and patterns! Now that I do, I am going to add that same pattern as backing on my built in bookcases flanking my fireplace!
