After raising their daughter, a couple from California focused to take care of the wife’s elderly mother in the late 1970s. To make the space safe and more functional, he preferred updating his old primary bathroom, with a tight pride and a dangerous step-up shower and tub.
They turn to the sea point design and remodel, where the lead designer Janna foot rebuilt the bathroom with a built-in tub and open shower with a multifunction shower head and a hand shower with both. A new cherry double vanity combines heat and storage, while a mixture of cool, textured tiles brings style and peace to this now safe, modern retreat.

First: The aging bathroom, with its peeled floral wallpapers, lacked both safety and style. There was a big plain mirror in a basic angleed wood double vanity and a hard-to-clean tile countertop. The only drawer storage came from a small makeup station in the center, causing the hair and skincare products to disorganize the surface. “We had a challenge with Anglend Wall and did not want to convert it into a structural project,” says Parr. “We could not really move the walls. There was also a peeling switter with a fluorescent light that we wanted to finish.”
Step-up tub and shower (Appearing in a mirror here) Safety raised concerns and felt old. The owners of the house chose to keep the water closet. “We do not change anything there,” Parr says.

An elegant semiconduram cherry anchor double vanity space. It provides a smart mixture of shallow and deep-softened drawers with giant cabinets for better storage. A rich clove adds brown finish depth and heat. “We wanted to make sure that we have enough counter space and sink space,” Parr says. “We went to achieve symmetry with a long sink, the way we planned to do mirrors and drug cabinets above.”
Two Framless Mirror Medicine Cabinets flicked a metal-frame-rich mirror in an oil-ridden bronze finish. The wall sconus with traditional torch-style silhouettes and brass accents sit on both sides. “We fell in love in detail on top of the mirror,” Parr says. “It also bounces light around the bathroom, so it looks more open and ventilated.”
A soft, hot white now coats the walls and ceilings, while adding a bright white subtle contrast to the trim.

Toping the vanity is a polished pure white quartz surface that is resistant to scratches, stains, cracks and heat. Says Parr, “We had a lot of movement with backplash tiles that were our specialty and complement something, but did not compete,” Parr says. “It also belongs to other white elements throughout the space.”
A scalloped design in the backplash consists of polish ivory onyx modem tiles, which has a tonal variation that combines texture and attraction. “I think they combine both luxury and cynical,” Parr says. “They also add interest to an otherwise neutral palette. We wanted to tie in some of the gold tone on this side of the bathroom, which were with a gold tone seen around the tub.”

To increase the existing tray roof, the impure architectural beam was added, where fluorescent lights were once seated, both character and heat. “This was a last minute decision from the owners of the house,” Parr says. “It was a fantastic, but we dreamed of adding them to the design to give them an old world experience.”
The vanity complements a towel bar and other hook space’s lux gold accents.

First: Across the pride in the east bathroom, the dangerous step-up tub was sitting next to a dated stall shower with a low enclosure, which was also raised above the level of the main floor. “It was clumsy and slippery,” Parr says. “There was also a ‘Fern Trench’ behind the tub and shower since the 1970s.” The trench area was to catch the plants.
First: There is a close eye on the old shower next to the tub here. With no shower niche, bathing products closed the floor, and the step-up entry was a major feature that the owners of the house were eager to finish.
The operating window on the rear wall was updated by the owners of the house, while an ancient European technique that gained popularity in the US – an ancient European technique in the US – was applied to the wall in thin layers for durability and waterproofing. “I didn’t want it now to feel busy, and wanted to finish more tiles and more grouts,” Parr says.
A well-organized, wall-mounted tub filler in the gold finish with a liver handle changed the original stability. “By maintaining plumbing at the same place, we were allowed to keep within our budget,” Parr is called. The door with a panel appearing on the left side leads to the primary bedroom.

The upper part of the shower wall is worn with a 3-by-12-inch Ivri Ceramic Tiles with subtle tanwala variation, soft texture and a soft glass cover. “We made a staggered vertical pattern to mirror the backsplash in the vanity,” Parr says.
Below, 24-by-48-inch matte pot of sand-colored porcelain tiles add visual depth and vice versa. A quartz-top shower shelf matches the vanity countertop, providing a clean, dry space for hair and body products, which keeps chaos from the floor of the wet room.

The doors outside the wet room lead the water closet to the water closet-and a walk-in closet on the adjacent wall. “The thoughtful design and layout for functionality was a primary focus,” says Parr, but customers have confident and trusted me to create a layered bathroom with many textures, stense and luxury touch. ,
