The homeowners of a 1920 Foursquare asked us to remodel two baths: a full guest bath and a master bath so tiny the wife said she “stood on the toilet to brush her teeth”. They wanted both to be fresh and modern, yet in keeping with the historic character of their home.

Our design solution for enlarging the master bath was to remove walls and capture an adjacent bedroom. This tripled the size of the bath and added a spacious closet as well. Highlights include a double vanity with quartz top, custom doors and casings to match the home’s originals and a new private water closet.

The refreshed guest bath now features a vintage black-and-white hex tile floor. In both baths, tile mosaics on the shower walls double as art.
