The homeowner was widowed and looking for a space that provided a uplifting sense of peace and sanctuary, an in home retreat. Her existing floor plan no longer worked for her needs, with two small bathrooms and a spare bedroom rarely used.

Contractor Fred Chapman of DreamMaker Bath and Kitchen Bay Area brought Johanne on board to partner on a design solution, and working closely with the client, mapped out a variety of possible options. Once they had assessed the existing floor plan and layout, they decided on a light, elegant airy design that transformed two barely used bathrooms into a spacious closet, and a neglected bedroom into a new, spa-like bathroom.
