Older homes, historically, have small bathrooms without much storage. When a buyer falls in love with one of these homes, the bathroom is usually one of the first areas they would like to update. This was the case with a recent client of ours who purchased a 1930's home in Green Hills and wanted to remodel the upstairs bathroom. The homeowner had the following objectives for the project:
1) To make the bathroom feel larger
2) To have ample storage space
3) To stay within budget
We replaced the wall mounted sink with a built-in vanity and added a linen cabinet over the toilet for extra storage. The vanity cabinet was pushed back into the attic/eave area to gain extra space.
We added more natural light to the room by installing an opaque glass panel in the window eliminating the need for window treatments. We also replaced the drop down shower curtain rod with a wall-to-wall, bowed out rod to give the shower more room when in use.
We left in place the existing tile floor, tub surround and wainscoting so as to stay within our client's budget.
The room was painted white to make the space feel larger and more modern. The result is clean, fresh and light filled!
The Wills Company was a regional winner in the 2012 Chrysalis Awards Program for this project in the category Bath Remodel Under $40,000.
I have never thought of using an opaque glass treatment on a window before! It's sued perfectly here. You still get the privacy of a curtain but you let in all the natural light that a curtain would block out. Brilliant!

This makes me so jealous. I am still trying to figure out how to do our shower remodeling without ruining our entire bathroom. http://www.bathcrestofidaho.com

I really like the design of this bathroom. I am thinking of a bathroom remodeling in Rochester NY. I can't tell if my wife wants one yet or not.

How amazing! You made use of every space pretty well. It looks bigger and has a lot of storage. And the idea of using an opaque glass window panel is so smart. I’m pretty sure your client will love this. Congrats! You did a great job here!
