‘Farmhouse Rustic’ is a trend that many believe took the place of the early 2000’s ‘Shabby Chic’ explosion. The idea of Upcycling the old into new is certainly at the heart of the “Farmhouse Rustic’ style. While the “Farmhouse Rustic’ style can aptly be used in every room of your house, Fireplaces and Bathroom seem to highlight the strengths of this decorating trend.
Insidecorate is a great website highlighting the Farmhouse Rustic style! If you are looking for inspiration and have a time on your hands….pop on over to their website.
This rustic theme features a galvanized water trough up-cycled into a Bathtub as it’s centerpiece. With a soft and elegant white on white color scheme, the touches of green and browns create a touch of perfection!
True to the roots of the “Farmhouse Rustic’ style: this up-cycled distressed dresser is gorgeous! The hammered brushed nickel sinks add the ‘Wow’ factor that is well worth copying and can we just say the light fixtures are amazing. What a wonderful example to up-cycling!!
Beautiful rustic subway tile in a classic white and grey look complements the wood grain tile of the floor. The simple white and grey color scheme is indicative of the ‘Rustic Farmhouse’ style and brilliantly featured by this beautiful bathroom!
The contrast between Farmhouse Rustic Bathroom #3 and #4 is exactly why so many people are drawn to this decorating style. This style can be interpreted so many ways. This beautiful bathroom features rustic barn board ceramic on the walls that harmonizes well with the brick pattern on the shower floor. The custom stone bench and glass shower doors are a the perfect blend of function and beauty.
Soft grey shiplap walls are complimented by the natural wood vanity delicately topped with a bright white farmhouse style sink create a bathroom masterpiece. The stencil ceramic tile floor add just the right of pop and creativity to this Farmhouse Rustic bathroom.
Unless your bathroom doesn’t look like this……
and instead looks like this?!?!
So how do you get your bathroom from “Woah….that’s scary!” To
“Wow! That’s spectacular!”
We have a few blogs that took a scary or underwhelming bathroom and turned it into an amazing bathroom retreat!!
Provident Home Design did a great job in this powder bathroom redo!
One tip I love is that knockoffs are awesome! If you see a mirror you fall in love with but it is $700 why not try to make it yourself for a fraction of the cost?
Don’t think you can do it? Well why not check out the local goodwill or salvation army. You would be surprised what knockoffs you can create with a thrift find and a can of spray paint!!

Melissa shows the redo of various projects done. Like us here at the Carpet House, she loves a good before and after post! This post of her bathroom redo lives up to high standards!
This post highlights the redo of her bathroom. As she says it is not to big but not small by any accounts….so finding the right color choices was important.
What we liked best about this post is her choice of paint and floor tile! Grey is the new trend and her photos highlight how beautiful and calm the right color grey can be.

Our next blog that has a pretty fantastic DIY Redo is The Handmade Home. For Ashley and her husband Jmnin, it all started with a bit of mold in the bathroom.
The bathroom went from choppy and dated to open and airy. The closed in shower was opened up with glass doors and the dated tan tile was transformed with beautiful white wall tiles and a beautiful mosaic tile floor.
This Redo made our list because of the detail included in the blog/article. Pictures show just how damaging one leak can be and how in-depth a full bathroom remodel can get.

Vintage is awesome and this idea has my wheels spinning. Taking a vintage bicycle and upcycling it into a vanity is stunning….and take a look at how they used the bicycle basket. ❤
I am a huge fan of antique furniture, so this idea of using a side table as a vanity is love at first sight!
The key to a beautiful bathroom is first impressions and this reclaimed barn door has it all! BEAUTIFUL!!

Arabesque Ceramic Tile is the latest trend among designers and homeowners. It is easy to see why…with its graceful lines and subtle pattern. This is the type of ceramic that never goes out of style.
While more expensive than a traditional glazed ceramic, this style is worth the extra expense because it adds just the right touch of beauty and sophistication.
This is the tile that when people walk in your home and see it, they walk out trying to find a place in their own home to imitate it!
It’s that beautiful!
At The Carpet House, we carry a georgeous line of Abaresque Ceramic. Here are a few samples….
The darker and bolder colors are simply amazing when installed on a backsplash!
So if you are in search of a beautiful classic way to spruce up your kitchen, stop in and ask to see our Abaresque Tile!!
