PRIMARY BATH REMODEL - NORFOLK

Though this remodel didn’t involve a full demo or a major layout change, the resulting transformation is still quite dramatic. The clients no longer had a need for the large tub that was using up valuable real estate; they opted to eliminate it to increase the storage capacity of the adjacent primary closet. They were ready for a reset of their color palette and an upgrade in accessories as well.

BEFORE

The shower moved to the tub’s former location, and the area that was the shower was captured for additional hanging and shelf space in the closet. The glass block window was removed, and the new deluxe shower was fitted with a rainshower, two showerheads, a handheld, and a custom bench (that the clients’ contactor was able to float!).

AFTER

Porcelain tile was used for the shower walls and main bathroom floor, and natural stone pebbles were used for the shower floor. The existing cabinetry was given new life with a fresh coat of white paint, new hardware, and a natural stone countertop. The large mirror with integrated LED lighting gives the whole space a bright, modern look. Another project I’m thankful to have been part of.

PRIMARY BATH REMODEL - VIRGINIA BEACH

This project was motivated by a need for repairs - a mystery water leak was causing damage to the shower walls (which could lead to health concerns). Since the bathroom was original to the home, the clients were also ready for a design change. They decided to completely refresh the space while remodeling to address the water leak issue, allowing them to improve the aesthetics and functionality of the space.

BEFORE

AFTER

The layout of the bathroom remained the same; not much else did, however! My design concept removed the tub and added a built-in shower bench. The design also included new porcelain tiles for the bath floor and shower, a glass accent tile with a soft coastal palette, a deep wood tone vanity with drawers for better storage, a glass shelf, brushed nickel fixtures, and soft white walls.

All leak issues were taken care of, and the final result is an eye-catching (and safe) primary bath.

PRIMARY BATH REMODEL - NORFOLK

This transformation was thrilling. The clients’ original bathroom had a large (and rather dangerous) bathtub / shower combination that they essentially had to climb into every day. It was causing lots of frustration and little enjoyment.

BEFORE

AFTER

The clients decided to eliminate the tub completely; this allowed me to use that entire area for a new spacious shower with a built-in bench, while the vanity and toilet locations remained the same. My design concept included all new fixtures and materials including: a furniture style vanity with a wallpapered accent wall; white ceramic and deep blue glass tiles; pill-shaped mirrors; brushed nickel fixtures; and crisp white walls.

The resulting bathroom gave the clients all they were hoping for - and all those frustrations went right out the (new) window.
