Bathroom - mid-sized traditional master white tile and ceramic tile ceramic tile bathroom idea in Baltimore with an undermount sink, recessed-panel cabinets, white cabinets, marble countertops, a one-piece toilet and blue walls

The Setup For this primary bathroom project, the homeowners wanted to transform their large, T-shaped bathroom into a functional, multi-purpose sanctuary. The existing layout was inefficient, with a bulky built-in tub, a closed-off shower, and an awkward footprint that limited practical use. This remodel also presented a unique challenge – the homeowners wanted to use the space for workouts as well. The design needed to maximize the large open area in the middle of the T, providing enough room for yoga and light free-weight exercises while maintaining the bathroom’s aesthetic and functionality. Design objectives: Expand and brighten the shower area without major layout changes Replace the oversized built-in tub with a sleek freestanding alternative Create a flexible space for workouts while maintaining the bathroom’s design integrity Address cold flooring with added comfort solutions Enhance lighting for both beauty and functionality Incorporate storage for workout equipment and everyday essentials Integrate natural elements to accommodate the homeowners’ love of plants The Remodel Design challenges to be solved: Shower Expansion – The homeowners want a more open, spa-like shower but don’t want to dramatically alter the footprint. Workout Integration – Balancing fitness functionality with a serene bathroom design will require creative layout adjustments. Storage Solutions – With workout gear to stow away, the space needs discrete and versatile storage options. Lighting – Enhancing both natural and artificial lighting to brighten the large space. Cold Floors – Positioned above the garage, the bathroom tends to feel colder than the adjacent primary bedroom. A solution is needed to add warmth and comfort during use, without the need to reconfigure the home’s overall heating system. The Renewed Space Design solutions: Spa-Like Shower Expansion – Removing a wall and replacing it with glass transformed the shower into an open, airy retreat, allowing natural light to flow freely through the space. A curved black river rock floor and neutral linear wall tiles add warmth and texture, while carefully placed niche lighting enhances the tranquil, luxurious atmosphere. Workout-Friendly Layout – A custom full-length mirror was strategically placed to accommodate multiple uses, creating a fitness studio-like experience for yoga or light weight training. The mirror’s size and positioning allow for clear visibility during workouts, while also enhancing the room by adding light and a greater sense of depth. Custom Storage Solutions – A custom cabinet with a wood top was crafted to discreetly store workout equipment, preserving the clean, open feel of the space. Its design not only enhances functionality but also creates a sense of symmetry, bringing visual balance and cohesion to the overall layout. Enhanced Lighting – Replacing the shower wall with glass, installing a full-length mirror, and incorporating vanity mirrors with built-in lighting dramatically brighten the space. LED strip lighting under the cabinets, along the tub half wall, and in both the side and shower niches adds layered illumination, enhancing both function and ambiance. Heated Floors – Installing heated flooring provides consistent warmth and comfort year-round, enhancing the space for both workouts and daily routines. A European-style towel warmer brings additional warmth and a touch of luxury, elevating the overall experience. Final Thoughts: This transformed bathroom blends luxury with intentional design. By addressing the homeowners’ needs – from workout flexibility to spa-inspired details – the space now serves multiple purposes without compromise. The warm cabinetry, black accents and thoughtful lighting tie the design together, while the curved textures and plant-friendly ledge add a personalized touch. This bathroom is now a bright, welcoming sanctuary for daily routines and mindful moments.

Masonry Flat paint is the only choice for painting brick. The product is lime based and breathes with the brick. It can be tinted to any Benjamin Moore color. The off-white look is perfect for highlighting landscaping and architecture.

With a structural beam replacing the old load-bearing wall, this kitchen looks and feels much bigger than really is. Creative cabinetry, clean lines and lots of light add to the complete makeover. Removing the wall produced enough space to install a small cabinet between the stove and the refrigerator, which had been side by side. The countertops are Frosty Carrina Caesarstone. Flooring is Armstrong Night Owl luxury vinyl tile. The custom recessed panel cabinets are finished in Acrylic Diamond Frost. Beadboard along the end panel, peninsula and open shelf backs imparts a casual touch. The white Fireclay Apron Sink is paired with a Rohl bridge faucet and side spray. The homeowners love to cook, deciding to install a pot-filler faucet for chef approved functionality. Stainless steel appliances support the desire to modernize the space. The homeowners gained space and comfort replacing a radiator with Uponor Aquapex Joist Track Radiant in-floor heat. They also appreciate the new electrical sub-panel and wiring for the Bosch induction range, appliance circuits and lighting.

A home’s kitchen serves as the gathering place for a family to eat, play games, entertain friends, make a cup of coffee, or do some quick work at the computer. This beautifully remodeled Ashburn kitchen was created from the space that was already in place but was re-imagined to better serve the family’s needs as they went about their lives as the family grew. Not only were the homeowners hoping to improve the functionality of their square footage, they wanted the room to be brighter and lighter.
