Bathroom Renovation


Woodland does Design......Take a look at our newest design rehab. Woodland had a client who was looking to update their outdated master bath. The original bathroom was functional but lacked a lot of the things they were looking for in their new home. They wanted a bathroom with clean lines, but that also felt fresh and inviting. We worked out  a budget and prioritized which items would be essential to making their dream master bath.

Before and After Vanity
 First on the list was the vanity. Their current vanity was older, and starting to loose it's lackluster and crowned with a shell shaped double sink top, definitely not out client's style.We went with something that was warm in color and provided a clean French country look. The new vanity also has 4 center drawers for organizing brushes, toothpaste, ect.


The second "must have" was new tile. We only tiled in the original areas that had tile to reserve our budget for other important items. We decided on a honed Travertine for the floor, as Travertine adds a level of sophistication and longevity. We
went with a porcelain tile for the walls and around the drop in tub, as it more inexpensive than Travertine and requires less maintenance. To break the wall tile we added 3 rows of glass and tumbled linear stone.

The third item on the list was a new tub. The old tub was bone color, which our clients were not crazy about. In running theme with the fresh look, we went with white. We chose a soaking tub that was much larger and deeper than the previous tub. We also added a tiled ledge that had been missing from the previous layout, and removed an awkward step that was in front of the tub.

The other items on the list fell into place as we made figured on the three major items. We talked about removing the wall in the shower area, replacing the door to add more light to the space. Instead we left it and the large mirrors that were already inplace and in tact. We add all new fixtures that coordinated with one another. We removed an old large mirror with very little storage behind it and replaced it 2 large cameo mirror with full storage behind them.

This project served as a good example of how you don't always need to gut a bathroom to give your space an entirely new feeling. At the end of this projects our clients were overjoyed how well their new bathroom turned out and that they stayed in budget.

Below are some "Before and After" pictures. Enjoy!
