Recently, Charlie Allen Renovations remodeled three bathrooms in one Cambridge home. Their clients, a family with young children, wanted distinct designs for each bath, with one shared requirement: get rid of the bath tub and replace it with a walk-in shower stall. Each bathroom — a master, a children’s Jack & Jill bath, and a family/guest bath — was gutted and fully remodeled.

The children’s bath is one of two that needed to be expanded. An adjacent closet was annexed to provide extra square footage, allowing for a comfortably sized shower stall with multi-hued blue block tile and a glass Dreamliner door. A tall, semi-custom hamper cabinet was installed to help the children with laundry management. The cabinet and vanity were each fitted with Caesarstone countertop.

The master bathroom also received an upgrade, with a new shower stall, baseboard and crown molding. The shower features white block tile and a decorative blue wave design, along with built-in bench seating. The custom shower door by Prestige Glass includes a translucent privacy band etched across the center of the glass. For comfort on cold mornings, radiant heating was installed.

On the third floor, adjacent to the family room, a third bath was remodeled. Like the children’s bath, the footprint for this room was also enlarged by annexing closet space. The new shower stall introduced here features white subway tile and two decorative gold tile patterns. Window glazing in the bathroom window was replaced with tempered, frosted glass for safety and privacy and an expanded window ledge can be used as seating if needed.

The architect on this project was Michael Szalaji with On the Board Designs in Cambridge.
