I’m very excited to share the before and after images of this bathroom remodel’s transformation today. This one has been in the works for a long time and it is finally finished!
I don’t know if you remember seeing these “before” photos I’ve posted on my blog, when I’ve done a few project updates, but here they are.
“Before” Photos Of Dated Bathroom
This was the view when you first walked into the bathroom, below.
The bright stained glass window was done not only on the exterior wall, but on an interior wall that divided the toilet room from the main bathroom. The fact that they sort of mirrored each other but then missed dramatically because of the light, was a big design flaw that bugged me.
Not only that, but the brightly colored window design itself, the tile, the peachy paint color on the trim, etc. were all dated. It needed a redesign.
BEFORE Remodel - The brightly colored stained glass windows and dated tile had to go.
As you turn to the left in the room, this long vanity greeted you, with the knee space in the middle there.
With all that room in the long vanity, it was a surprise to see one of the sinks pushed to the very end, with the closet doors opening in to the bathroom. You had to move out of the way to open the doors.
Not very functional and, well, not very attractive either.
BEFORE Remodel - The long, unattractive vanity needed a more refined and elevated style.
The open shower was lined with cultured marble and had a glass block wall on one end. It was ready for an update too.

Luckily, the bathroom was quite spacious and the perfect place to create a luxurious retreat. The minute I saw the size of that shower I thought, “steam shower”. :-)
“AFTER” BATHROOM REMODEL - Dramatic transformation
We were after a luxury bathroom here with a quiet, understated-yet-sophisticated look. This client was worried about too much pattern and contrast and really wanted a soft, light ambience.
White honed marble was selected for that look of luxury and neutral wallcovering added interest without being overpowering. A beautiful free standing tub, centered below the single window, created a spa-like, relaxing atmosphere.

Wood cabinetry added warmth and an earthiness to this all white space, done in a light, rift cut oak.
The seated vanity was separated from the sink vanity and the closet doors were hung to swing in to the closet, where there was plenty of room to handle the doors.

The large open shower was rebuilt as a smaller, more enclosed, space.
While still a generous space, it created a nice dressing area in this corner. This house was built with a lot of angles and we worked it to an advantage here.

We used a Mr. Steam shower to complete this shower design.
Many people are considering adding steam to their showers these days for therapeutic and health reasons as well as just for the spa experience. It’s becoming a popular addition to many well-designed bathrooms.
I particularly love the marble in the shower, Danby from Materials Marketing, with the shampoo niche and bench.

I’m very proud of this transformation and I love how these beautiful materials and products have been woven together to create a timeless look that will last for many years.

I’ve added the floor plan here as I’ve had some questions about the layout, etc.
