The owners of this small condo came to use looking to add more storage to their bathroom. To do so, we built out the area to the left of the shower to create a full height “dry niche” for towels and other items to be stored. We also included a large storage cabinet above the toilet, finished with the same distressed wood as the two-drawer vanity. We used a hex-patterned mosaic for the flooring and large format 24”x24” tiles in the shower and niche. The green paint chosen for the wall compliments the light gray finishes and provides a contrast to the other bright white elements. Designed by Chi Renovation & Design who also serve the Chicagoland area and it's surrounding suburbs, with an emphasis on the North Side and North Shore. You'll find their work from the Loop through Lincoln Park, Skokie, Evanston, Humboldt Park, Wilmette, and all of the way up to Lake Forest.

This whole home reno involved creating a kitchen greatroom on the main floor and significantly re configuring the upper floor including making a full master bathroom and converting an extra bedroom into walk in closet. An old family home transformed into a modern home for a great young family home of busy professionals.

Artistic Tile’s Duomo Black water jet pattern adorns the bathroom floor, while the walls are covered in Pannelli, a textured stone carved from Grey Foussana limestone. The boy’s bath had a shower and a tub which was not necessary, so the tub was removed in favor of a larger shower, urinal, and built-in storage. The custom trough sink is by Neo Metro, the LED mirror is by Electric Mirror Co. The toilet is a Toto Neorest 750H and the Urinal is a Toto Lloyd. Plumbing is by Dornbracht.
