The 2nd floor hall bath is a charming Craftsman showpiece. The attention to detail is highlighted through the white scroll tile backsplash, wood wainscot, chair rail and wood framed mirror. The green subway tile shower tub surround is the focal point of the room, while the white hex tile with black grout is a timeless throwback to the Arts & Crafts period.

This hall bath needed a good bit of updating to feel current, however the refresh still needed to be in keeping with the home's historic features. So, I kept the existing vanity, which had been a piece of furniture, and raised it up to a more modern height and added a beautiful soapstone countertop. I also had the mirror wall painted a gorgeous off-black, and removed the former single vanity light in favor of two aged brass, black and crystal sconces. The entire tub area was gutted as well, and replaced with black and white tile walls and a porcelain tub with frameless French shower doors.

Project designed and developed by the Design Build Pros. Project managed and built by Innovative Remodeling Systems.

Our hallway full bath renovation embodies a harmonious blend of functionality and style. With meticulous attention to detail, we've transformed this space into a sanctuary of modern comfort and convenience.
