Blah to Blissful Bath Remodel-Before and After

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

In the project shown in the before and after sequence, my challenge was to stay within the footprint of the existing master bathroom. Also, the soaking tub was a favorite place for relaxing so it too remained.

The other challenge was a very tall male… who loved the the idea of a ceiling showerhead which he often used in hotels while traveling. So now you know the general parameters and can see the transformation.

Now for the transformation

Vanity, natural cherry with dual sinks

Shower and solartube

Soaking Tub

Solutions to this master bathroom remodel:

  • a single vanity with customized storage for him and her
  • balanced lighting from sconces and overhead fixture
  • 36″ counter height suits both
  • glass wall between tub and shower enlarges room
  • Solartube adds lighting with less expense (original plan included skylight)
  • hotel towel shelf stores extra towels
  • mosaic border adds horizontal element
  • travertine throughout is easy to maintain
