Before Conditions

Classic pale pink 1950s tile lined all of the walls, creating a time warp

Vanity cabinet lacked functional space

Modernize style with nods to the mid-century style of this 1950s home
-
Keep existing footprint and update with modern amenities
Design Solutions

Removed bump out by vanity to allow a larger vanity with plenty of drawer storage
-
Fresh and bright palette of white wall tile, gray floors and a warm walnut vanity refreshes the space
-
Added a bidet and grab bars to allow the owner Aging in Place flexibility
The Details That Make It Work
-
The size and stacked installation of the wall tile references the design of the fireplace surround in the adjacent living room
-
The original glass panel providing privacy for the toilet zone was reused and framed out with minimal trim fitting the updated design
-
Found new knobs that match the original hardware to carry the mid-century history into the new era

About Colleen
I live in Minneapolis with my landscape architect/urban designer husband, my volleyball & Taylor Swift loving daughter who believes she’s my design assistant, an independent Siamese, a feisty grey-striped kitten, and a menagerie of turkeys and other wild animals who visit our backyard for the free food. When I’m not designing, you’ll often find me cooking up a Paleo feast, cheering for my daughter's volleyball team, playing pickleball, or hiding in a corner with my nose in a book.
