Tour our newly finished master bathroom reveal, featuring marble, gold, vintage wood and other beautiful organic raw textures.

*This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Floor & Decor. All opinions are 100% mine.

I’m so thrilled to be sharing another finished space in our pole barn home! Admittedly, progress is slower than I would like as we are moving as fast as time and money will allow. We are trying to be patient in the process and enjoy every little change we make.

See the bathroom tour in action!

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

The foundational elements in this bathroom are marble and gold.  We installed Carrara marble tile on the floor,  half way up the walls and surrounding every surface in the shower. Marble trim, baseboard and even marble outlet covers make this small bathroom feel so luxurious.

MARBLE TILE

All our marble tile and trim is from Floor & Decor. I’m always like a kid in a candy store viewing their huge selection of marble tile at incredible prices. I really enjoyed mixing and matching a variety of pieces to pull this room together.

Master Bathroom Design Elements

If you haven’t seen it already, I did a very detailed post and video all about our selection and process for installing the marble in this room as well as our design plans. Here are direct links to all the marble tile products I used, for your reference.

  • Bathroom Walls Marble Tile
  • Marble Baseboard
  • Marble Trim
  • Shower Floor Marble Tile

Once the marble tile project was done, I had so much fun adding in fixtures, decor and bathroom essentials. The theme and style for this space is the same as what is guiding me throughout the entire home, and that is a European Farmhouse style, infused with organic and raw materials, colors and textures.

GOLD FIXTURES

Let’s take a look at the gold fixtures I added.  I love the marble and gold combo, because I feel it is very timeless.  I started by finding a gold waterfall shower faucet, which we just love.

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

We had to special order some gold plated hardware for the shower glass . . . which is not actually glass – but I’ll get to that in a second.

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

Other fixtures with gold metals are our gold vessel sink faucet, gold towel rods here and here and gold towel hooks, a gold toilet paper holder and a gold accordion wall mirror.

One of my favorite finds is this gold deer head I decided to use in the shower to hang washcloths and loofahs. 

EUROPEAN GLASS SHOWER DOOR

I’m really excited to tell you about this shower door and panel.  This frameless shower door style is technically called a European Shower door, and is really growing in popularity.  

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

Without the metal frames, it allows the space to feel more airy, spacious and makes your shower door significantly easier to clean.

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

We went to a specialized mirror and glass company in our area to get a quote on what it would cost for a European glass shower door and panel for this space.  Just to have them cut it for us to install, it was going to cost close to $2000.  I about died, so we started looking for other options.  We found a place about an hour away that had ½ inch thick plexiglass and would cut to size for us for a little less than $300.  We were thrilled! 

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

The plexiglass is as clear as glass, it’s thick and hefty, cleans amazingly well, and I believe the only way someone would know it wasn’t glass is if they tapped it with their nails. 

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

Plexiglass also won’t shatter like a glass door would, which is something to consider if you are also in earthquake territory like us.  The biggest downside is that it might scratch easier than glass, so that is something we will need to be careful of – but well worth the cost savings.

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

Some other fun details in the shower area are a place for a soap dish, a marble bench, and this handy cubby we built to hold our soaps and things.

VANITY

Let’s move onto the details of this beautiful vanity!  

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

About a year ago, I found this antique piece at an estate sale.  I bought it knowing that someday it would make a one-of-a-kind vanity or buffet, and this was just the space for it. 

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom

It was actually a wet bar with a recessed countertop.  We cut the holes for the sink, and bought a marble remnant slab from a countertop place in our area and we placed it right on top. 

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

The marble vessel sink is from Floor & Decor.

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

In total, this vanity came to about $500, which if you’ve shopped for vanities, you know that is a steal of a deal, especially considering how unique and beautiful this one is! 

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

I love the age, the finish and how it so perfectly brought in the European Farmhouse look I was after.

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

I don’t love that I don’t have drawer space for my cosmetics, but we’ve worked around that with baskets inside the cupboards.  When we first got it in, I was a little concerned with how dark it was compared to the light filled marble room, but once I started adding in more darker elements and decor, it all came together perfectly.

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

For the mirror, we had a piece cut to the size we wanted, and then we framed it with the marble chair rail from Floor & Decor.

LIGHT FIXTURES

A little more on the light fixtures. Above the vanity, I found this really beautiful covered bar light, which softens the light really well, perfect for gentle vanity lighting.

I adore this scalloped glass pendant light I found for over by the shower.

ARTWORK

I had a lot of fun picking artwork for this bathroom. I found these amazing male and female portraits from 2 different online shops that sell vintage prints.  I feel like they were made for each other. 

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

I love that they are both profile depictions, working so well to face them towards each other.  They are dark, moody and have the perfect European vibe.  I framed them with some thrifted frames I had collected through the years. My kids and I have had fun giving these portraits names and stories.  This is Mr. Balentime, British of course. 

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

He is wealthy, yet humble and desperately in love with Christenssa, the quiet and meek maid of the house.

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

It was pretty entertaining to read the novel my daughter is writing all about them.

I’ve also included one of my favorite pictures of my husband and I, when we met and began dating at a dude ranch in Wyoming for the Summer – which is another love story for another day.

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

TOWELS and LINENS

I’m excited to tell you a bit more about the towels and linens I picked for this space.

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

If you know me, you know I’m obsessed with linen and fabrics.  To me, they are the piece de resistance for any space.  I splurged a bit on our towels to ensure I got the texture and variety I wanted for this master bathroom – which is technically my only current daily retreat from the chaos of motherhood.  I found these 100% linen waffle towels on Etsy, and my jaw dropped. The texture is to die for and I love the natural colors. 

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

I also reached out to one of my favorite towel companies, Olive & Linen, to see if they wanted to work together to showcase some of their beautiful Turkish towels and products, which fit so well with my style. 

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

This is the most beautiful quick drying linen hand towel, with a beautiful frayed edge. 

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

They sent me items from their Bliss collection, which is so stunning.

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

I love the creamy color, the blue/black stripes and sweet frayed edging.  These Turkish towels are actually terri cloth on the inside making them the most perfect absorbent Turkish towel I’ve ever used.

They have hand towels, bath towels, and even this beautiful robe in the Bliss collection.

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

This dark gray waffle robe is also from Olive & Linen.

ANTIQUE FINDS

Finally, I want to show you some of the antique finds I went shopping for to decorate this space. 

Of course, I won’t have direct sources for them, but I hope it inspires you with ideas of what to look for when you are antique shopping for your own unique spaces.  I found this darling woven stool that looks so perfect next to the vanity.  The texture and wear is so pretty to me.

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

It’s not one I want my kids standing or sitting on, but it is the perfect filler for this awkward space between the toilet and vanity and a great spot to prop some extra towels.

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

I found this amazing basket I am using as a wastebasket.

I found a really cool croc to hold a plant for the bathroom, which helps the room feel so fresh.

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

I found this wooden hand carved bowl which I like to use for storing my combs and brushes in and at easy reach.

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

This is an old spice shaving cup, we inherited from my husband’s great grandfather.  I use it to store hair elastics and such.

I found this small antique rug on Etsy.  I love that it isn’t so big that it hides our beautiful herringbone marble flooring.

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

DECOR and STORAGE ITEMS

I also did some shopping online to find unique canisters and cosmetic bottles for the shelves and the countertop.  I hide my chapsticks inside this marble lidded canister.

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

I filled our built in shelving with amber glass bottles for my homemade natural body and room sprays, body scrubs and more.

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

This room is just filled with sweet little details that make me happy and make getting ready in the morning feel like a pampering experience every day. (Like this marble soap dispenser).

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

I’ve mentioned it before, but for a master bathroom, this is a pretty small space.  However, it feels absolutely perfect and beautiful because we brought so much of what we love into every corner.

European Farmhouse Master Bathroom Reveal

I hope this reveal has inspired you with ideas of your own.  It feels so good to finally have a master bathroom and to not have to share with our 4 kids, even though they do sneak in as much as possible because they love it too!  We are now working on completely finishing the kids bathroom, and I’m excited to share that with you when it is finished.  You can catch all our progress on our pole barn home right here!

I hope you’ll subscribe and follow me along for more inspiration for do-it-yourself living!  Thanks for reading! It would be really helpful if you could pin some of your favorite images from this post!

    Cami, this space is pretty much perfect!! We have a 1920s Farmhouse and I am pretty much copying everything for my future primary bedroom. I’m obsessed!

    Quick question- could you kindly share the paint color on the vertical headboard? It’s such a complement to all of the marble. Thanks so much for all the inspiration in general!!

    So pretty! I’ll be right over with my own towel. Some sparkling water and a bowl of chocolates next to the sink will be just great, thanks!

    Absolutely gorgeous! The rough but rich-toned vanity with the marble and matte brass fixtures is amazing. And the arched niche is adorable. I always preferred small and well-appointed to big. It’s also unique and not the same-old, same-old, modern American farmhouse. You’ve done an amazing job!

    Beautiful bathroom and I have gotten many good ideas for my own bathroom remodel I hope to start in the next few months.
    Also, I have my dad’s (died of Parkinson’s disease almost 8 years ago) shaving mug which looks like the one you have. I have two of the brushes he used to spread the soap lather on his face before shaving that I keep in the mug as decor.

    Hi,
    I’d like to order some waffle towels like yours and hand towels as well. I went to the Olive and Linen web page but couldn’t find any with the frayed edge. I’m concerned about trying to wash these towels with the tied ends… I think it would be a mess. Can you please help?? Where did you get them and what color did you order.
    Your bathroom, especially the vanity made my heart stop! Incredibly beautiful. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

      Sorry for the confusion! I’ve linked both products in my shop page here: https://www.tidbits-cami.com/resources/?product-tag=bathroom
      When you get to olive and linen site, you might have to type in “bliss” to pull up the entire collection, but they were there last time I checked. I’ve washed the frayed towels many times and they come out looking new every time. They are such good quality! I really love how they are lightweight with the terri cloth backing. They are a dream! I got the creamy white color. Let me know if you still have troubles finding them!

    Your post popped up at just the right time! We are getting ready to update our condo in the CA desert. I’ve been totally uninspired and, dare I say it, lazy Our second bathroom’s bones/layout is identical to yours and you have totally inspired me to finally begin thinking about it! Thank you so very much, yours is beautiful! While our finishes will be very different, I now hav a vision! Thank you!

      Cindy! That makes me so so happy to hear! I LOVE inspiring others with ideas! I’ve been lazy a bit this summer too. I could have tackled more rooms faster, but I think we burned ourselves out so bad just building the bones of the house so fast. But I think it is all well and good, and it’s just a more enjoyable process when you aren’t so rushed or exhausted! I hope you enjoy finishing your bathroom! I’d love to see it when it is done!

    Ooo, it turned out so pretty! I love the old wood vanity. It’s the perfect balance to all the cool marble. Wow! Plus I know you’re so glad to have a separate/second bathroom! It’s beautiful, Cami!

      Sweet Cecilia! Thank you! I can’t believe I almost didn’t use that vanity. Isn’t it just perfect?! And I have to say – my showers take way longer these days because it all feels so good to have a finished master bathroom! Yay!
