Bathroom Remodel
Brookfield, WI
This 1940’s bathroom was in need of an extensive renovation. The bathroom had no outlets, no exhaust fan, and the one light above the sink provided very little light. There was no storage space and bathing was very difficult with a 36”x36” pink bath tub. The heat register was placed behind the vanity, so no heat would circulate in the room, making the tile very cold in the winter.
Our homeowners were looking for a more contemporary feel to their bathroom and wanted to use unique materials that were earth-friendly. We completely gutted the bathroom down to the studs, and increased the 36” x 36” tub to a 36” x 72” tub with a built-in niche and ledge. A large closet with ample storage was added. We updated the electrical with 2 GFCI outlets, a recessed light along with 2 sconces, and a new exhaust fan. The flooring was changed to cork, a green material, which eliminates the cold tile floor in the winter. A contemporary-style, open-vanity was added to allow air flow from the heat register. The color palette consists of chocolate browns, white, olive green and burnt umber, for a warm, modern feel.
