Primary Bathroom
The primary bathroom was the biggest transformation. The original layout was anchored by a curved glass-brick shower enclosure that ate up floor space and gave the whole room a 90s spa vibe (and not in a good way). We pulled it out and replaced it with a spacious walk-in shower clad in a stunning teal fish-scale mosaic that catches every bit of light coming through the windows. The original deck-mounted tub came out too, in favor of a classic clawfoot soaker that sits in the bay of windows and earns its keep as the visual centerpiece of the room. A small crystal chandelier hangs above the tub, adding a bit of luxe to the space. And a proper spa-like bathroom wouldn't be complete without the comfort of heated tile floors underfoot, so we added those too. For storage, we used an IKEA pantry cabinet finished with our custom teak doors, which gives the clients a full wall of linen storage without committing to bulky built-ins. The floating double vanity is built the same way: IKEA boxes with our custom teak doors and drawer faces, wall-mounted to keep the floor visible and the room feeling open. The mirror over the vanity is framed with walnut (still in progress and unfinished at the time these photos were shot).
Kids' Bathroom
The kids' bathroom belonged to ten-year-old twin girls, and they had strong opinions about how it should look. The clients gave them latitude to pick the paint, the vanity lights, and the glass mosaic accent tile, and the result is the teal-and-bubbles palette you see now. We made some structural changes too. The old layout put the toilet directly in front of the shower, which was about as awkward as it sounds, so we moved it to the opposite wall and added a small partition for privacy. That meant shortening the vanity, but the room is long enough that we still had room for a double sink with plenty of counter between them. The vanity itself is built from IKEA kitchen cabinets cut down to 24 inches and hanging off the floor for a lighter feel, finished with our custom horizontal-grain teak faces. The floors are heated tile, and the old tub-shower combo was swapped for a frameless-glass walk-in shower with that bubble mosaic running floor to ceiling. You can read more about this bathroom on the original blog post from when we finished it.
Guest Bathroom
The guest bathroom started with the same tub-shower combo as the kids' bath. Those things are cramped, uncomfortable, and the kind of compromise that made sense in 1990 but doesn't anymore. We pulled the tub entirely and put in a walk-in shower with a frameless glass door. The tile is a soft gray linear stack inside the shower wrapped in larger neutral tile on the surrounding walls, with brass sconces on the vanity wall to warm things up. The vanity follows the same playbook as the rest of the house: an IKEA kitchen cabinet finished with our custom teak fronts, so the cabinetry across all three bathrooms feels like it belongs to the same family.
