Beautiful Spa Style Bathroom
Saturday, February 28th, 2009These are the before pictures of a recent home renovation I did.
The home is a 1960’s side split, with all original fixtures, in Burlington.
The bathroom has a beautiful window but the wall that divides the toilet & tub block out most of the light. This 60’s style bathroom also has a 2 entry ways that the owner found unnecessary. My challenge was to create a “spa like” environment for the owner, without changing the placement of the fixtures. Update the bathroom with a timeless decor that would add great value to the home when the owner decides to sell.
After gutting the room to the studs the doorway to the master was closed off, leaving space to have a double sink and more countertop space. This also gave the homeowner more wall space in her bedroom.
I decided to make a glass block wall between the tub & toilet to let the light in from the window and still provide privacy for the toilet. Therefore the wall needed to be removed. Since the wall could not be totally removed , because it housed the stack, I decided to create a waterfall effect with the glass block that turned out amazing !
The 6×6 porcelain tile I chose, laid in a cobblestone pattern actually makes the bathroom seem bigger and is less slippery when wet.
This customer was very happy with the new “Spa-Like” bathroom
