Seamless, sassy, and may we say a little sexy! That was the look our clients were going for and I must say… we nailed it! What once was a blah, beige, and boring bathroom is now a gorgeous, chic retreat in their newly remodeled primary suite. When we presented the homeowners with the 3D renderings, they couldn’t believe their eyes. From
a one-of-a-kind vanity (designed by moi!) to the slab porcelain tile up the walls, this primary bathroom is everyone’s dream. We managed to keep their existing footprint while enlarging the space, giving them the spa-like oasis they had hoped for. This render to reality is one for the books!
Client Needs
Modern Vibe – Our clients hired us to remodel various rooms in the home and this space was the last to go. They wanted to get the old out and start new, while keeping it cohesive with the aesthetic throughout the home. Our palette choices in other parts of the house were very neutral and relaxed, with brass accents and a hint of glam. So we continued the look with a slight monochromatic style enhanced with gold fixtures, the warmth of wood, and a little black for drama– matching the rest of the property perfectly.
New Vanity – The current vanity was dirty, dingy, and in need of repair. So, I customized a vanity design that would adhere to their modern style. With clean lines and unique custom-designed pulls, this one-of-a-kind, white oak vanity is a show-stopper.
Updated Fixtures – With hard water and the original plumbing fixtures, our clients were definitely ready for an update. The new, stunning Hansgrohe faucets and shower system gave the space the bling they were looking for.
Steam Shower – They knew they wanted a spa-like vibe in the room and had always dreamt of having a steam shower but didn’t think they had the space. So we made it happen, enlarging their shower slightly and adding a smart steam package.
Project Challenges
Keep Existing Floor Plan – The homeowners’ wish list was huge but their space wasn’t. They didn’t want to add a lot of square footage but they did want to increase storage where possible. We strategically kept plumbing in place, used the original hall to lengthen the new bathroom, and then gained a few feet for the walk-in closet by pushing out the
interior wall into the bedroom slightly.
Add more Space to their Closet – It sounds like a trick answer, right? “Keep the existing floor plan but add more space!” But, that is exactly what we did. By incorporating the small area that used to be a hallway between the bathroom and the closet, we were able to gain enough space to enlarge the bathroom and at the same time, change the entry into the closet, and steal about five feet from the oversized bedroom. Perfection!
Custom Vanity Hardware – With the one-of-a-kind custom vanity I designed also came a unique pull system. I wanted linear drawers with full-length finger pulls in a custom metal to match our plumbing fixtures. When we quickly realized that the particular hardware didn’t exist to fit our vanity, we had a local artisan create custom pulls to match this special piece!
