bathroom with shared shower

This 1907 home in the Ericsson neighborhood of South Minneapolis needed some love. A tiny, nearly unfunctional kitchen and leaking bathroom were ready for updates. The homeowners wanted to embrace their heritage, and also have a simple and sustainable space for their family to grow. The new spaces meld the home’s traditional elements with Traditional Scandinavian design influences. In the kitchen, a wall was opened to the dining room for natural light to carry between rooms and to create the appearance of space. Traditional Shaker style/flush inset custom white cabinetry with paneled front appliances were designed for a clean aesthetic. Custom recycled glass countertops, white subway tile, Kohler sink and faucet, beadboard ceilings, and refinished existing hardwood floors complete the kitchen after all new electrical and plumbing. In the bathroom, we were limited by space! After discussing the homeowners’ use of space, the decision was made to eliminate the existing tub for a new walk-in shower. By installing a curbless shower drain, floating sink and shelving, and wall-hung toilet; Castle was able to maximize floor space! White cabinetry, Kohler fixtures, and custom recycled glass countertops were carried upstairs to connect to the main floor remodel. White and black porcelain hex floors, marble accents, and oversized white tile on the walls perfect the space for a clean and minimal look, without losing its traditional roots! We love the black accents in the bathroom, including black edge on the shower niche and pops of black hex on the floors. Tour this project in person, September 28 – 29, during the 2019 Castle Home Tour!

Builder-grade, tired and outdated fixtures paired with peeling wallpaper and missing tiles served as the impetus behind this homeowners desire to remodel. Careful thought and consideration went into the selection of each bath product as the client wanted a clean design with a contemporary flair. The homeowners enlisted Renovisions to take on the task and transform their bathroom into the beautiful, zen-like bathing space they envisioned. Each step of the remodeling process was completed carefully to ensure a proper facelift. Beautiful, natural pebble tiles accented by a border of 12”x12” tan colored marble tiles set the overall feel of this new space. The vanity, a medium stained cherry wood contemporary styled wall-hung cabinet, and the ice stone countertop compliment the gorgeous blue-green hues of the mosaic wall tile. The chrome finished wall-hung faucet has the perfect design choice for the narrow yet sleek vanity. The tub/shower side walls boast stylish 6”x12” marble tiles installed in a horizontal pattern while the blue/green mosaic tiles on the back wall create a dramatic focal point in the otherwise neutral color palate. Desired amenities such as a deeper soaking tub, a custom tiled shampoo cubby, a hand-held shower head and slide bar and a decorative safety grab bar provided both the functionality and style the homeowners sought after. Upon completion, this full bath exudes a sophisticated and heavenly atmosphere to provide a truly “do-it-yourself” spa experience.

Shower Wall Tile from Tesoro in 12x24 Pearl Polished, Porcelain. Verve Glass Mosaic in Icelandic from Bedrosians was used for the Shower Niche. Shower Pan tile from Tesoro in the Bark Aspen Hexagon Mosaic. The Shower Sills were complete with Recycled Glass from Curava in Arctic.

This master bath has his and hers vanity sinks, shower areas, steam room, and separate toilet rooms, with sliding doors. The bath wall tile is glass, the floor are penny rounds. There is hydronic radiant heat built into the slab floor.

Harlan Hambright The Master Bath was completely re-designed. It went from a "hotel" type bath, with the sink and vanity in an alcove off the bedroom that had no door. The shower and toilet had its own tiny room with a door to the left, but you could hardly close the door without getting into the shower to do so. We borrowed some space from the walk in closet by moving the wall in a foot or so, then took out the wall to the shower and toilet room. We installed a walk in shower, new double vanity, new quartz counters, new oil rubbed plumbing fixtures, custom oyster shell framed mirrors, lighting, paint and art.

This modern bathroom has a glass mosaic called Metropolis Onyx. This mosaic has different textures including metallic. This pattern comes in different colors including silver, black, pearl, opal, bronze and more. This color is also available in subway and liberty. The counter, floor and wall coverings are made of recycled granite and glass and the color is called White Star. This material is 1/4" thick and can be placed on top of existing countertops and surfaces. There are many colors available.

Needing a tranquil getaway? This bathroom is just that - with matte glass mosaics in the best beachy blue tones, fresh white cabinetry, wood plank tile, flat pebble tile for the shower floor, and amazing amenities including heated floors, a heated towel rack and natural light galore, why would you ever leave? What’s a great master bath without plenty of storage? In addition to the great cabinets, we have handy niches everywhere you could possibly need one, and with all of these great details, could you even tell that this bathroom is fully accessible? That’s right, we’ve got a barrier free shower, grab bars, and plenty of floor space to maneuver, around it all!
