Farmhouse Bathroom Makeover- New Marble Tile Floor!

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

The linoleum bathroom flooring in our Victorian farmhouse needed a little makeover. I took a trip to the newest Floor & Decor location in the St. Louis area to choose something beautiful and more fitting to her antique charm. Come see a little farmhouse bathroom makeover.

A farmhouse full of projects

When we bought our 1890s farmhouse back in January, there was no shortage of projects for the ever growing to-do list. We knew it would be a long-term plan to refinish all of the hardwood floors, paint the walls a fresh new color and renovate basically every surface.

One room that definitely needed some attention was the main level bathroom.

This particular room functions as a guest bathroom and the laundry room, which can be a bit tricky aesthetically.

The first order of business was replacing the flooring. That fake wood linoleum definitely needed to get the boot! Next to our pretty refinished antique heart pine, it just looked cheap.

Shopping Floor & Decor for our farmhouse bathroom makeover

I went to the grand opening of the new Floor & Decor in our area. I had my heart set on some beautiful hexagon tile to brighten up this space.

Floor & Decor is a specialty retailer for tile and flooring. They have everything- tile, wood, stone, related tools and flooring accessories. It is the perfect one stop shop to grab everything you need for your bathroom or kitchen renovation project. The nearest Floor & Decor is about 45 minutes from me, but it was absolutely worth the drive for the free design service, endless options and low prices.

They have several bathrooms, kitchens and laundry rooms all set up to give you some design inspiration!

I met with a professional design expert who helped me to choose products that matched my vision for our farmhouse bathroom makeover. We looked at several flooring options, from a more modern hexagon tile, to some very beautiful tile that looked like marble, and everything in between. I ultimately settled on the real deal. The price was awesome, and it just had the bright white color I was looking for. The design consultant and I added several samples to the cart, and compared them to one another. I chose the brightest one.

I loved shopping at a store that specialized in only one thing. There were so many more options, and the prices were all excellent!

What else can sit right next to deep orange heart pine flooring than classic marble?

Choosing a grout color

Choosing a grout color is normally a shot in the dark for me. The design consultant at Floor & Decor had these little pieces of grout samples that I could actually pull out and lay on my tile selection. I have never seen this before, but it made a world of difference in choosing the right shade for my selection.

We ripped out the fake wood linoleum tile in this bathroom and replaced it with hexagon marble tile from Floor & Decor. What a difference new flooring can make! We decided to add some simple open shelving above the washer and dryer, and hide unsightly laundry essentials in lined baskets.

I added paint and a handmade curtain to make over the vanity. I also brought in a few antique pieces I had been hoarding in the closet, the Victorian furniture header above the washer and dryer and the wooden medicine cabinet.

Isn’t it just so much better!?

Beautiful! How does one care for a marble tile floor? All that grout scares me. I don’t want to scrub grout with a toothbrush. 😜

  I’m sure it would be rough if I was clean type of lady, but grout is something I have never worried about. That probably would be difficult though to keep it meticulous. We had hexagon in our last house, and I never once scrubbed the grout. Haha

Your new floor is absolutely gorgeous! I hope this will not be taken amiss, but it seems a wee bit stark in there now. Have you considered stenciling a pattern on one of the walls in a purple? It is really interesting to me that your gorgeous marble floor looks so purple in your bathroom. I love it!

Where did you get the wooden shelf brackets used in the laundry area? Thanks!

Hi Lisa,
After reading your article in the Washington Missourian, I realized the you are now living in the farmhouse that I used to live in. In fact I owned it when I had Gramma’s House Bed & Breakfast. Wow you have done some marvelous things to improve it. BTW, the older part of the house was built in the 1860’s.
I now have Heaven on Earth B&B which is down the road from you off of Hwy D.. My husband at the time and I created the little cottages.. One used to be the smokehouse and the one near the barn was the milk house.
I hope you are enjoying your place. It was work, yet fun to live there.

  Hey Judy! We have driven up to see your new bed and breakfast. We would love to know more, like when the milk house was built and the smoke house! Any history you have on the house would be fascinating. After all of the quarantines are over, would you want to come out and see the place?! We have always wanted to meet you!
