Featured Design Project: Master Bathroom

Focus: Remodel a tired 1960’s Master Bathroom into a sophisticated and elegant space.

Biggest obsticle: This project was renovated during the beginning of Covid-19, when the industry first started to see major delays. For this project, tile was a large contender for delays. While working on the project, the initial tile proposed quickly became unavailable and so the contractor/tile installer and I pivoted and came up with a new solution- utilize what tile we had and continue the accent tile further around the bathroom than originally planned.

Identify Problems &/or Client Requests:

• Swinging entry door hits shower door when opening.

• Vanity was too low, with very little storage inside.

• Shower had a low ceiling height and was small square footage wise, with a 6” high step- not safe and too high for an aging couple.

• Ventilation did not work

• Overall outdated

Solutions:

• Change swinging entry door to bathroom into a pocket/ sliding door.

• Move vanity and make larger for more storage.

• Turn shower into a safer and curb-free space, for an aging couple.

• Update and change out all old fixures such as vent, toilet, lighting, trim work, etc.

• Use half of the Master Closet space to turn into new shower area, as shown in photos below.
