Bathroom: Spa Oasis
This single lady had lived with her outdated bathroom long enough and she was ready for a beautiful change. Before, the bathroom was chopped into two spaces making it feel tiny and cramped, and while it had both a bath and detached shower, the shower was a small, scary little cell she hated to use. The sink was too small, and set in a vanity that was at an odd angle.
We knew that a layout change would make this space feel twice its original size, so we took out the door dividing the two spaces, put a glass-tiled, generous shower where the tub had been, and put a sexy soaking tub in the place of the tiny shower stall and detached vanity space.
Together we chose colors and materials that would feel airy and beautiful, and would compliment her mid-century house. Now this bathroom reflects the beauty of the homeowner herself, and is worthy of the care she takes of her home.

Bathroom: 3 Simple Facelifts
It’s amazing how much of a difference new vanities, counter, flooring and lighting and paint can make! These three bathrooms were all given vanity facelifts with cabinet refacing, fresh flooring, fixtures, stone counters and lighting, making the whole home feel more up-to-date at a fraction of the cost of remodels that also take out and replace tubs and toilets. Sometimes all you need is a makeover.

Bathroom: Awesome Accessories
It doesn’t much to make a room feel interesting and personal. This bathroom was already stylish, with contemporary bath tile, concrete floors and a floating bamboo vanity. It just needed some personality and color. We simply added a statement Makimoto shower curtain and sassy red and grey towels with a brilliant red rug and voila! and bath to be proud to show off to guests!

Bathroom: Marble and Glass
The owners of this out-dated bathroom wanted a new look that would make their guests say ‘wow’. We wanted to create a ‘wow’ that would also be long-lasting, so we designed a room that felt both up to date and timeless, with a nod to vintage styling.
First we stripped it down to bare studs and installed an extra deep soaking tub and redid the plumbing to allow for two sinks. We laid marble flooring, installed ebony-colored cabinetry topped with a marble counter, and wrapped the room in fresh white subway tile capped with a chair rail. An impressive wall of glass adds sparkle, as do the bright, shiny chrome fixtures including three sconces and his and her mirrors.
What was once an off-the-shelf standard bath is now a breath-taking beauty, and the timeless, vintage inspired look is one that they and their guests will enjoy for years to come.

Bathroom: Subway and Slate
This was one of those gut-it-and-start-over remodels. We completely remodeled the space creating a larger bathroom area and separate toilet closet opposite the sink area. Though larger than it had been, it was still a modestly-sized bathroom so we opted for a light color palette of sea greens and white painted cabinets and topped the half-wall in the shower with glass. Then to anchor the space we finished the floors and lower half of the shower in slate tile.

Bathroom: Simple and Clean
No matter how functional a bathroom might be, starting every day staring at a dingy, outdated room in poor lighting doesn’t make you feel your best.
This homeowner wanted a clean, simple, contemporary update, so we tile the bath and floor, brought in a new, elegant vanity and mirror that made the most of her limited space, updated the lighting, and installed under-floor heat and an efficient toilet. These simple changes added value to the house both for the homeowner and to the house itself should she ever decide to sell.

Bathroom: Color Fix
This family had a flood in their basement and used it as an opportunity to update the paint color in this basement bathroom. The vibrant blue they had initially used overpowered the gorgeous slate tile on their bathroom floor. We picked up on the wonderful eggplant hues in the stone and paint the walls a dark lilac-grey. It made the homeowners nervous because it seemed like such a dark color on the swatch, but it turned out to enhance the color of the floor and make all the white fixtures and trim seem even brighter. Success!

Bathroom: Zen remodel
This guest bath suffered from insufficient lighting and a poor layout that made showering feel like being in a dungeon. We removed the half wall that separated the shower from the rest of the bathroom, opening up the room and bringing much needed light into the shower space. Natural pebble flooring and a linen-weave texture in the tile, along with serene aqua blue paint created a spa-like atmosphere, enhanced by the built in bench and dual shower head. Additionally we moved the shower head to the left wall so it could be installed at a normal height so the user needn’t squat to be under the water!

Bathroom: Ready to Sell
This bathroom was tired and tattered and was not going to help sell the owner’s home, especially with water damage coming from a leak in the upstairs plumbing! We gutted the bathroom, repaired the leak, and made a fresh start with neutral porcelain floor tile and latte colored wall tile accented with a touch of sparkly glass. We furnished the room with elegant espresso finishes on the vanity, mirror and storage cabinet, and warmed the room with creamy white walls, satin nickel fixtures and a silk shower curtain. This is now a bathroom any potential buyer can see themselves in, adding value to the home!

Bathroom: A Little Burlesque
After a while every bathroom needs a little facelift. The linoleum in this small bath was stained and never looked clean, and the vanity was terribly outdated. We ripped out the flooring and vanity, installed charming black and white tile and a bright white vanity, and painted the room a soft powder blue. A new shower curtain and some pinup-girl art and we managed a vintage-inspired easy update for just $1250.
