double bath remodel

In a classic '50s rambler, the two main floor bathrooms had been virtually untouched since the house was built. The large shared hall bath suffered from tired finishes and cutesy pink tile. The master bath was tiny, and made even smaller by a built-in cabinet that cut into the shower. A complete makeover was planned during the owner's extended vacation, so they were able to return to two completely remodeled bathrooms. Completed 2013.

Designer: Kirsten Dumo of Satterberg Dessonier Dumo

The master bath required the most extensive work, with all plaster, the entire shower and the existing window removed. The tiny shower had tile on all sides, laid on a concrete and metal lath substrate several inches thick which proved a challenge to remove. The built-in cabinet was removed, making room for a larger shower, rambler bath remodel

Before

The finished bath is still small, but made to feel bigger with frameless shower door partially over a half wall. All new tile, Cambria Newhaven counters and updated Kohler plumbing fixtures make for a sleek look

The cherry vanity by Kitchencraft is laid out with more functional drawers and doors, and the new electrical plan provides much better lighting for the room

The kids' vanity and counter had seen better days but still held the possibility of being reused, so they were salvaged and donated to ReStore. This room required much less extensive demolition because the plaster was in such good shape. The walls were only opened fully at the tub and surround

Before

The finished bath benefits from a new window, with sloping sill at the tub. The previous installation was problematic. A deco line brightens the tile selection there, complimenting a new acrylic tub. The porcelain tile floor - Cronin Natif Ginepro - simulates the look of wood, bringing in rich earth tones tones mirroring the cherry cabinets

The vanity is much more functional with lots of doors and drawers, and the mirror is framed with the same material as the vanity. Cambria Canterbury counters make under-mount sinks possible and an updated electrical plan brightens this well-used bath
