Bathroom - transitional bathroom idea in Chicago

View from entry towards new stair and clerestory. An existing mid-century ranch was given a new lease on life with a whole house remodel and addition. An existing sunken living room had the floor raised and the front entry was relocated to make room for a complete master suite. The roof/ceiling over the entry and stair was raised with multiple clerestory lights introducing light into the center of the home. Finally, a compartmentalized existing layout was converted to an open plan with the kitchen/dining/living areas sharing a common area at the back of the home.

This project was a joy to work on, as we married our firm’s modern design aesthetic with the client’s more traditional and rustic taste. We gave new life to all three bathrooms in her home, making better use of the space in the powder bathroom, optimizing the layout for a brother & sister to share a hall bath, and updating the primary bathroom with a large curbless walk-in shower and luxurious clawfoot tub. Though each bathroom has its own personality, we kept the palette cohesive throughout all three.

This large master closet also shares the space with a large laundry area. The closet features adjustable shelving, pull down closet rods, and jewelry storage. The laundry area features pull down closet rods, under cabinet lighting, and angled power strips. The space flows into the master bathroom with the continuation of flooring and elegant lighting choices throughout.

We are always renovating our own home, and one project was our master bathroom/hall bathroom combo. Sounds awful, but, yes, did share our master bathroom with the hall and company. We live in a 1950’s ranch, and for the most part the home is amazing. However, this one room was not so much. So, we reconfigured, redesigned, gutted and re-created the space so we could have two bathrooms. I’m so happy how it turned out! Here’s our new hall powder room and private guest bathroom. (The new master bathroom will be included in our master suite addition… stay tuned!) Photos By: Brennan Wesley

Old California Mission Style home remodeled from funky 1970's cottage with no style. Now this looks like a real old world home that fits right into the Ojai, California landscape. Handmade custom sized terra cotta tiles throughout, with dark stain and wax makes for a worn, used and real live texture from long ago. Wrought iron Spanish lighting, new glass doors and wood windows to capture the light and bright valley sun. The owners are from India, so we incorporated Indian designs and antiques where possible. An outdoor shower, and an outdoor hallway are new additions, along with the olive tree, craned in over the new roof. A courtyard with Spanish style outdoor fireplace with Indian overtones border the exterior of the courtyard. Distressed, stained and glazed ceiling beams, handmade doors and cabinetry help give an old world feel.

This traditional home would fit perfectly into the scenic New England countryside. A covered front porch welcomes you into a two-story foyer flanked on either side by formal living and dining rooms. The two-story family room is warmed by a cozy fireplace. The handy kitchen features a serving bar to the breakfast room, which accesses the backyard through a French door. A first-floor bedroom easily converts to a home office. The master suite provides a vaulted master bath and walk-in closet. Three additional family bedrooms on this floor share a hall bath and the convenient second-floor laundry. The plan is completed by a two-car garage. Mark Edwards, East West Realty

This cozy lake cottage skillfully incorporates a number of features that would normally be restricted to a larger home design. A glance of the exterior reveals a simple story and a half gable running the length of the home, enveloping the majority of the interior spaces. To the rear, a pair of gables with copper roofing flanks a covered dining area and screened porch. Inside, a linear foyer reveals a generous staircase with cascading landing. Further back, a centrally placed kitchen is connected to all of the other main level entertaining spaces through expansive cased openings. A private study serves as the perfect buffer between the homes master suite and living room. Despite its small footprint, the master suite manages to incorporate several closets, built-ins, and adjacent master bath complete with a soaker tub flanked by separate enclosures for a shower and water closet. Upstairs, a generous double vanity bathroom is shared by a bunkroom, exercise space, and private bedroom. The bunkroom is configured to provide sleeping accommodations for up to 4 people. The rear-facing exercise has great views of the lake through a set of windows that overlook the copper roof of the screened porch below.

This rustic mountain home features knotty alder, craftsman style cabinetry. The master bath cabinets were raised to accommodate the tall homeowners.
