Before Conditions

Poorly designed vanity storage

The large built-in tub overwhelmed the room and blocked access to the window

The shower was compact and had water damage
Client Objectives
-
Updated finishes while keeping the soft neutral palette they love
-
Enlarging the shower
- A freestanding soaking tub
-
Improved storage in the bathroom and the adjacent vanity nook
Design Solutions
-
Removed soffit over vanity and narrowed archway to the adjacent vanity nook
-
Lengthened the bathroom vanity and incorporated more drawers for functional storage
- Removed the built-in tub and enlarged the shower footprint
- Replaced the glass block shower window with a full pane window framed in quartz for durability
-
New freestanding tub allows acccess to the window and makes the room feel even larger
- Reconfigured storage in vanity nook to provide more linen and laundry storage while keeping the make up counter scaled for every day use
The Details That Make It Work
-
Created a three tier recessed shower niche in the rear corner that ties seamlessly into the quartz window frame
- New gold custom framed mirrors and sconces bring subtle glamour, a significant upgrade from the original builder basic mirror

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.
