Traditional Romantic Master Bathroom Makeover

This master bathroom went from a tract builder's standard issue to a beautiful, traditionally styled bathroom with classic yet romantic touches. We removed the soffit and wall separating the toilet/shower from the tub and vanity area to create a larger, more spacious feeling in the bathroom. Then we constructed a new pony wall, along with a new shower and custom glass shower panels, recessed medicine cabinets, and a custom rain-glass window panel above the new rain-glass bathroom door. The bathroom was decked out with a new clawfoot tub and wall-mount bath faucet, wood vanity with dual sinks and wall-mount faucets, mirrored wardrobe doors, comfort-height toilet, carrera marble subway tile and floor tile, marble hex tiles for the shower pan, glass mosaic pencil liners and marble dome liners as decorative accents, and a crystal chandelier. What a difference such beautiful finish materials can do for a bathroom!!

From an Outdated Pink Bathroom to a Classic 1920's Bathroom

We recently finished this beautiful 1920's bathroom renovation with the classic black and white subway and hex tile combination. The tub enclosure was gutted to give the bathroom a much more open and larger feeling, and the shower plumbing was relocated to the other wall. The sink, toilet and fittings are from the Kohler Bancroft Suite, while the fabulous vintage tub is a salvage item. See before and after pictures below.

Interior work

Progress is mostly on the interior over the last few weeks. The plumbers and electricians have been in, and the pex tubing for radiant floor heating has been laid. They sealed up parts with expanding soy-based foam insulation. The doors have been on back-order, so they haven't quite beenable to close up the building and finish the last bits of siding. After that, more electric work, the drywall (next week?), and painting. But the kitchen cabinets will take a while.
