This is a tiny bathroom: the footprint is only 5 x 9, and this includes the tub, water closet and vanity. The actual floor space is less than half that figure.

The challenge, of course, was to make it appear bigger. I did this by expanding the mirror over the sink to be the full width of the wall, and by using a reflective wall paneling on the opposite wall. Also, replacing the old medicine cabinet with a high quality cabinet the same height as the wall mirror creates a continuous corner of reflectivity, adding to the illusion of space. The wall hung vanity also makes the room more spacious.

This apartment building is about 30 years old, and due to the way the plumbing was configured, it wasn't feasible to change out the water closet. So we chose white grout for the tile, to help minimize the old fixture. This space has been completely transformed. It is dramatic and sophisticated, and the owner loves it!

We had a great time working together on this long distance. The entire project was designed and executed via phone and email. The client really enjoyed getting involved in making personal selections, and particularly the hand-painted shower curtain.
