The room had been remodeled about 20 years ago as part of a large addition and consists of three separate zones – 1) tub zone, 2) vanity/storage zone and 3) shower and water closet zone. The room layout and zones had to remain the same, but the goal was to make each area more functional. In addition, having comfortable access to the tub and seating in the tub area was also high on the list, as the tub serves as an important part of the daily routine for the homeowners and their special needs son. We started out in the tub room and determined that an undermount tub and flush deck would be much more functional and comfortable for entering and exiting the tub than the existing drop in tub with its protruding lip. A redundant radiator was eliminated from this room allowing room for a large comfortable chair that can be used as part of the daily bathing routine. In the vanity and storage zone, the existing vanities size neither optimized the space nor provided much real storage. A few tweaks netted a much better storage solution that now includes cabinets, drawers, pull outs and a large custom built-in hutch that houses towels and other bathroom necessities. A framed custom mirror opens the space and bounces light around the room from the large existing bank of windows. We transformed the shower and water closet room into a large walk in shower with a trench drain, making for both ease of access and a seamless look. Next, we added a niche for shampoo storage to the back wall, and updated shower fixtures to give the space new life. The star of the bathroom is the custom marble mosaic floor tile. All the other materials take a simpler approach giving permission to the beautiful circular pattern of the mosaic to shine. White shaker cabinetry is topped with elegant Calacatta marble countertops, which also lines the shower walls. Polished nickel fixtures and sophisticated crystal lighting are simple yet sophisticated, allowing the beauty of the materials shines through.

As a previous client of Blackline Renovations, we welcomed a third remodeling project with this homeowner. We were tasked with remodeling their boys’ two bathrooms—both located back-to-back and with identical layouts. To accommodate their sons’ growing needs, our clients wanted to remove the existing bathtubs and replace them with stand-alone showers. They also wanted new fixtures and finishes to match the classic-style look of the rest of their home. OUR CREATIVE SOLUTION Because the existing layout of each small bathroom had efficient space, there were minor adjustments needed to accommodate the new showers. By slightly reducing the size of the vanity cabinets and shifting the toilets closer to the vanities, we were able to install the new showers in place of the original bathtubs. Half inch frameless glass was used to enclose each shower to make the spaces feel even larger and more open. To carry out a traditional classic look that the homeowners wanted, we installed classic 3×6 white subway tile in a traditional running bond pattern on the shower walls and as a tile wainscot throughout the bathroom. Polished nickel fixtures and hardware was used to further infuse the space with timeless design details.

Tailormade pink & gold bathroom

Conversion of a small ranch house to a larger simplified-Craftsman style house. We retained most of the original house, rearranging a few walls to improve an awkward layout in the original house, and added a partial second story and converted a covered patio space to a dining and family room. The clients had read Sarah Susanka’s Not So Big books and wanted to use these principles in making a beautiful and ecological house that uses space efficiently.
