Tier1 was contracted to redesign/remodel this master bathroom. The bathroom originally had a bathtub and shower. The homeowner wanted to eliminate the tub and replace that newly opened space with a custom-built bench. We completely gutted the space. We added new flooring, custom cabinetry (vanities, bench, and built in storage and medicine cabinets). A niche, grab bars, new tile, fixtures, and shower glass were added and installed in the steam shower. We installed new plumbing fixtures, sinks, and a new window in between the vanities to create more natural lighting. A beautiful custom tile backsplash was installed to the ceiling to create a pop of color to the space. New LED canned lights were installed as well as sconces and toe kick lighting at the vanities. We also installed sconces at the bench. New LED lights were installed in the closets to create more lighting for the space. We installed a new toilet and bidet seat, installed blocking for grab bars, install a toilet paper holder grab bar, and a canned light/fan combo in the toilet closet. We painted the custom bench, storage cabinetry, walls, ceiling, and existing doors. The final touches to be added were the cabinetry hardware, door hardware, and new mirrors to complete the space! We are really happy with the final product and were pleased to be able to give this past client a new space that they can remain in for years to come!
