Bird House Bathroom


Limited space in this Boise Bench bathroom
meant making some tough choices.

BEFORE:



AFTER:




Losing the tub meant gaining a larger shower,
plus storage space next to the the vanity.

BEFORE:


Before:  The 3x3' shower stall with a plastic surround went big! 
After:   36" x 48" shower with custom tile and mosaic surround.


AFTER:







To save on cost, the clients chose to keep their existing vanity
and dress it up with a bold new color, modern vessel sinks and faucets, 
plus a subway backsplash and classy hardware on the vanity. 

BEFORE:


AFTER:




Choosing a modern chair-height toilet makes a big difference.

BEFORE: 



AFTER:


Even though the color choices in this small space
were bold, and darker than I would have suggested,
plenty of lighting (we added some recessed lights)
and keeping other surfaces light (shower tile, countertop, floor)
balanced the look perfectly.





All the pretty finishes:

Modern, framed mirrors.
White subway tile with gray grout.
Expensive granite (just kidding! Our wise clients chose to 
go with a granite-look laminate. No annual sealing required! :)




Need extra storage? 
In-stock wall cabinets stacked,
and painted to match the vanity.



A sliding glass door completes the shower.



Need to save money? 
Stick with in-stock items (we prefer Lowes).
Special order items add cost and time to your renovation.
You'll be surprised at the great options available; our clients 
found these square sinks and faucets in-stock at Lowes for a fraction of 
the cost of most vessel sinks found online or in fancy fixture stores.
