Master Bathroom Suite Seattle - Alki beach bath remodel

master suite addition

A cozy 2-bedroom cottage near Alki beach was perfect for retirement except for one thing: The main floor bath was not just the master bath, but also the only bath. A previous remodel had attempted to make this more functional by adding "Jack and Jill" entrances, but it was still less than ideal. The solution was to create a new master bath and closet in one of the two main floor bedrooms, and seal off one of the existing bath doors. Completed 2015.

A lingering concern as the project was planned was how to eliminate the old door into the bedroom. It was in the middle of a room with tile wainscot and it was unclear if that or the floor tile could be located

Before

Because the remodel had been recent, it was possible to track down all of the tile, and with the new tile in place, it’s impossible to tell where the door once was

Before

The bedroom selected for conversion to the bath included a number of windows in less than ideal locations

Before

The new bath includes just one double-hung window with obscured glass for privacy, and is placed so that there is ample room for a mirror

The vanity is in a dark-stained wood, and a matching linen cabinet is tucked across from it behind the door

The shower features an acrylic pan with a covered grate, and a custom glass door

With a rain head and a hand-held shower head controlled by a diverter, it is possible to have a spa-like feel while showering and the convenience to easily clean the shower with the hand-held fixture. The accent tile is marble installed vertically for a nice counterpoint to the horizontal lines of the subway tile

The result is a functional, beautiful bath with entry doors here and at the closet reclaimed from the original room. Now it’s time to dive into that retirement full time
