A Master Bath Becomes A Timeless Space with a Modern Flare

Can ya’ll believe it’s already December 1st?! This year is definitely one that none of us will ever forget, and it felt like time truly stood still at times. In some ways, though, it’s hard to believe 2020 is about to come to a close. Like I mentioned in the most recent blog, we’ve spent a lot of time this year carefully curating our services for our clients’ needs, as well as planning some exciting additions for 2021! We can’t wait to share what’s next and are so grateful you’ve been a part of our journey. 

Speaking of journeys, we’ve got a stunning transformation to share with you from one of our latest remodel projects! If you’ve found yourself dreaming about how refreshing it would be for a specific area to receive a facelift, you’re certainly not alone. Most of us are spending more time in our homes now than ever, and many of our clients have expressed interest in either completely overhauling a room or two or revamping various spaces in their homes. Your needs change over time (and so do trends!), and a new design for your space can make it feel like you’re living in a brand new home again. So, keep reading if you’re ready to see a gorgeous Master Bath remodel!

Where The Remodel Began

We’ve all seen bathrooms designed in the 1980s - you can point them out almost immediately, and it’s not a bad thing! The styles of those days are highly recognizable with bold accessories, unique wallpapers, and large, frameless mirrors. These trends were widely sought after, and a home containing this type of aesthetic was a hip home! Well, flash-forward to this fall: our client was ready to see a change for her 80s master bathroom. What had worked well for this home at one time wasn’t the most efficient or current anymore, and like I mentioned before, that’s not unusual. A remodel can make a world of difference for the way we live in and enjoy a space! 

This master bathroom had a large garden tub situated as a focal point of the room, surrounded by carpeted steps, a gold chandelier, and those frameless mirrors that we all loved at one time. The same style of mirrors were positioned over the vanity area of the bathroom, and carpeting continued throughout the space. Behind another door and across vibrant blue tile was the toilet and shower. The shower was of course typical of the 80s also, with frosted glass and a sliding door.

The Vision

Our client came to us with the goal of remodeling this bathroom (and when I say remodeling - I’m talking a complete overhaul!) to a more modern look, but she also wanted to retain a clean, classic aesthetic. We were so excited to move forward with a complete overhaul and re-design to truly help her realize the potential for this space! We loved that the bathroom was so spacious, and it simply needed a unique plan for how to utilize its dimensions in the best way possible while getting a look that can be enjoyed for many years to come. 

The Result

One of our client’s wishes was to replace the existing shower with a frameless shower and to add a relaxing tub to soak in. So, we redesigned the space that previously held the shower and toilet and made this into a large linen closet, with floor to ceiling built-in cabinetry. We love the beautiful contrast of the stained cabinets with the white walls and tilework!

The frameless shower is simply stunning in this space and will be much more enjoyable than the previous shower, which was basically stuck in a closet. LOL It is hard to believe that this bathroom ever contained anything different!

The soaking tub is just a work of art, and we know that our client will find so much peace while relaxing here during the occasional bubble bath! While it does have a touch of modern, the tub still maintains that classic look that our client was hoping for. (P.S. did you notice that there’s no carpet here now?! AND, how chic is the addition of this acrylic tray to the tub? We absolutely adore detailed touches like this!) 

This relaxing soaking tub will be enjoyed for years to come.

The cabinets in the bathroom were previously stark white with chunky hardware. Now, the vanity areas have been fully reinvigorated with mirrors that are just the right size for the space, gorgeous quartz countertops, and accessories that are timeless while making a statement. Where the previous space held one lengthy countertop, there are now separate HIS and HERS vanity areas so that each person can truly enjoy uncrowded space of their own. And we can’t forget the gold chandelier that once illuminated the garden tub! While it was a wonderful addition in the 80s, it won’t be missed with the way this bathroom has now been appropriately modernized and furnished!

And that’s that - our latest bathroom remodel! This project was truly so much fun for us to work on, and we love the transformation of this space. It’s easy to feel like a certain area of your home could never look like what you see in magazines, but trust me - there’s always a way to completely reinvigorate a space! We are thankful our client trusted us with taking this space to the next level, and we hope they feel right at home here for a long, long time. 

If you need help with the vision for a space of your own, please don’t hesitate to contact me at any time! I’d love to work with you to create a functional and purposeful space that is meant to be enjoyed. 

For now, thank you again for taking a look into one of our latest remodels, and we’ll see you next time!
