We were hired to combine the main hall bath and a 1/2 bath of the master bedroom. The main bathroom was partially gutted when we started the design project as a severe water event had occurred. The client wanted an economical, but modern looking remodel that would be appealing to buyers in the future when she needed to sell and move to a retirement community as she currently lived alone. The new tub/shower is in the location of the original 1/2 bath. Our homeowner wanted an easy to clean. but modern looking shower and vanity. Lanmark by Lane Marble was chosen as it has no grout and is a seamless product similar to Corian. We created 2 niches in the shower to store bottles to keep them off the tub deck and prevent them from slipping into the shower. An American Standard Princeton bathtub was chosen, so when the client eventually left her home, her home would be appealing to families with small children. For the vanity the same Lanmark color was chosen with 2 integrated sinks for easy cleaning. Delta and Moen faucets, showerheads, and accessories were mix and matched to update the bathroom. Vinyl flooring was also chosen for its ease of cleaning and care. Bamboo cabinetry was added to provide a modern,, timeless, and warm wood tone to the space. In this small home, storage is badly needed so I created a large linen cabinet with a pull-out shelf on the lower shelf for easier access for that shelf. The original 1/2 bath window in the new tub/shower area was replaced with a new vinyl window and wrapped with Lanmark to provide a watertight system. To give plenty of lighting at the vanity, George Kovacs LED lights fixtures were installed over each sink. This bathroom is now a light and bright space that will be functional and beautiful for years to come. This project was designed for and completed by Corvallis Custom Kitchens and Baths.

Main bathroom has vanity and storage cabinetry providing a bit of privacy shelter for the toilet. A simple one piece shower / tub combination unit is a good decision in a shared bath design.

Simple and contemporary bathroom design

My clients wanted to change their 1950's pink bathroom and remove the bathtub. They are planning to age-in place and the bathtub was a tripping hazard. Also, the showerhead had been installed quite low originally and one of my clients had to bend awkwardly to shower, so we raised the height of the showerhead to accommodate his tall frame. My clients chose to remodel their bathroom with a blue and white color scheme. Blue Heaven Forbo Marmoluem flooring was installed to waterproof the floor. Planetarium Blue Lanmark was used for the countertop with integrated sink and the shower walls. For a visual contrast in the shower, Blizzard Lanmark was chosen for the floor and the corner seat/bench. This will help the homeowners see the transition between the flooring and the shower easier as they age. Grab bars were installed inside the shower, along with blocking in the walls to aid in getting into and out of the shower, and getting up and down onto the seat in the shower. Bright, white shaker cabinetry was installed, including a counter mounted medicine cabinet with rain glass. This added much more storage for my clients which was needed in this one bath home. The owners painted the walls in a soft shade of blue once the remodel was complete. They are loving their remodeled bathroom and all of the extra storage. The seat in the shower is a real favorite too. Holly Needham
