Time-worn to Timeless Bathroom

Start From Scratch
While the original bathroom floor plan was sufficient, it was very dated and was in serious need of a glow-up!
By gutting the space down to the studs, we were able to start from scratch and get a fresh start. For plumbing cost-savings, we maintained the same layout. But, considering this bathroom is the en-suite bathroom to the primary bedroom, we took the opportunity to add a second sink. The space is windowless, so we also added a Velux Sun Tunnel to bring in some beautiful, natural light. Otherwise, we just refreshed all of the materials for an updated, serene space.
The goal was to modernize the space but stay in keeping with the the more traditional style of this 1927 home.
Curbless Shower and Glass Shower Door
Going with a light-color, neutral tile for the floor and shower walls helps to brighten the overall space making it seem bigger. But, the shower, specifically, seems especially larger even though it is the same footprint. By having a curbless entry (nothing to step over upon entry) with continuous floor tile and the addition of a glass door, the entire shower feels much bigger that before.

Modernized but Classic Faucets and Shower Fixtures

Beautiful, Timeless Tile
And, let’s make sure to give that beautiful tile its recognition!
The floors and side walls of the shower are a gorgeous, timeless Dolomite natural stone from AKDO.
The back feature wall in the shower is a stunning star-and-cross pattern zellige tile from Style Access. Zellige tile is a Moroccan glazed terracotta tile that is hand-cut, sun-dried and kiln-fired to create a perfectly imperfect aesthetic. Each tile is hand-cut!
All of the tile was sourced from our wonderful partner: Ceramic Tile Center.
