Chicago isn’t known for spacious bathrooms, especially in older areas like Ravenswood. But we’re experts in using every inch of a condo’s limited footprint. With that determination, this mini master bath now has a full vanity, shower, and soaking tub with room to spare.

The homeowner’s existing master bath had a single sink where the current vanity/make-up area is and a closet where the current sinks are. It wasn’t much of a master bath. Design Objectives: -Two sinks and more counter space -Separate vanity/make-up area with seating and task lighting -A pop of color to add character and offset black and white elements -Fun floor tile that makes a statement -Define the space as a true master bath Design challenges included: -Finding a location for two sinks -Finding a location for a vanity/make-up area -Opening up and brightening a small, narrow space THE RENEWED SPACE Removing a closet and reorganizing the sink and counter layout in such small space dramatically changed the feel of this bathroom. We also removed a small wall that was at the end of the old closet. With the toilet/shower area opened up, more natural light enters and bounces around the room. The white quartz counters, a lighted mirror and updated lighting above the new sinks contribute greatly to the new open feel. A new door in a slightly shifted doorway is another new feature that brings privacy and a true master bath feel to the suite. Bold black and white elements and a pop color add the kind of statement feel that can be found throughout the rest of the house.

This is the perfect Farmhouse bath. Let’s start with the gorgeous shiplap. This wife was adamant that she wanted floor to ceiling shiplap. It was a bit interesting to complete because these walls tile halfway up the walls for a wainscoting appearance.

When we first looked at this project, we were faced with a bathroom being used by kids and teens – but with terrible funtionality. It was dark, out of date, with a spa style tub and most importantly – no shower! We had fun with the design with PlaidFox Studio and came up with something bright, funky and stylish with tons of drawer space for all the kids to use. The biggest improvement – a shower/tub combo with a hand wand and a simple shower curtain. We added waterproof LED lighting above the shower and replaced the dark curtain over the window with frosted glass for full time passive lighting during the day. The kids and parents we thrilled with the amount of space and function they didn’t even know they had!
