This McKinney Bathroom Went from Builder Basic to Pure Luxury

And honestly? We’re still swooning over the results.

Let’s be real—we’ve all been there. You walk into your master bathroom every morning and think, “This beige tile situation has GOT to go.” If you’re nodding along (especially if you’re here in McKinney or the surrounding area), this transformation story is about to become your new obsession.

We recently wrapped up a complete master bathroom overhaul that had us literally doing happy dances in the demo dust. Ready to see how we turned a cookie-cutter space into something that belongs in a luxury resort? Grab your coffee and let’s dive in.

Goodbye Garden Tub, Hello Statement Piece

First things first—that bulky garden tub had to go. You know the one: it takes up half your bathroom but somehow still feels cramped when you actually try to use it. We swapped it for a stunning freestanding soaker tub that practically begs you to light some candles and forget about your to-do list. The real showstopper? A gorgeous gold wall-mounted tub filler that makes filling up feel like a five-star hotel experience.

The takeaway: If your current tub makes you feel like you’re bathing in a fishbowl, a freestanding option opens up your entire space while adding that “wow factor” every luxury bathroom needs.

An Accent Wall That Actually Accents Something

Here’s where we got a little dramatic (in the best way). We created an entire accent wall using architecturally designed porcelain wood-look tile that had us questioning whether we were looking at actual reclaimed wood. The texture, the depth, the way it catches the light is like having a piece of art that you can actually get enjoy.

This is your permission slip to ditch those builder-grade painted walls that scream “generic subdivision home” from 2005. Natural-look tiles are having a major moment, and honestly? We’re here for it.

The Great Shower Liberation

The original shower situation was… let’s call it “cozy.” And by cozy, we mean it felt like showering in a cave with a random wing wall that served absolutely no purpose except to make the space feel smaller. So we did what any reasonable person would do—we knocked that sucker down.

The result? An open, curbless shower that flows seamlessly into the rest of the bathroom. We wrapped it in a sleek glass enclosure and mixed architectural accent tile with classic soldier stack subway tile because sometimes the best design happens when opposites attract.

Pro tip: If your shower currently feels like a phone booth, glass enclosures and strategic wall removal can work absolute miracles.

The Vanity That Started It All

Can we talk about this custom floating vanity for a hot minute? We’re talking white oak with a natural clear stain that shows off every gorgeous grain pattern, paired with thick quartz countertops that could probably survive a small earthquake. The four-inch edge buildup gives it serious presence, while the wall-mount faucets keep everything looking clean and modern.

And that tiled vanity mirror wall? Chef’s kiss. It’s giving spa vibes without trying too hard.

Here’s the thing about custom vanities: they’re not just about looking good (though this one definitely does). A floating design makes your bathroom feel bigger, easier to clean, and infinitely more sophisticated than whatever basic cabinet came with your builder package.

The Details That Make You Feel Fancy

Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest impact. We added custom sconces that cast the most flattering light (because nobody needs harsh overhead lighting at 6 AM), mirrors that actually complement the space, and—wait for it—a dedicated makeup counter.

Because let’s be honest: if you’re going to invest in a luxury bathroom, you might as well create a space where getting ready feels like pampering instead of rushing.
