Plymouth Dual Bath Remodel

It was going to be a simple bath remodel, and then life happened. We can't always know where our journeys will take us, especially when it comes to the world of remodeling. However, the important thing is that they end up where we most want to go.

master and lower-level bath remodel in Plymouth

Project Summary

That was the case in this bathroom remodel project that ended up in a new destination. In this case, the homeowner started off with a desire to “finish off” a lower-level bathroom that had barely been roughed in. There was more to it of course than just hooking up a sink and a shower. By the time we got through the initial design phase and narrowed down both the focus and the costs, it became very clear to all of us that what would make our clients truly happy, what would really improve their lives at home, was to invest their budget in a master bath on the main level and spend a bit less on the lower-level bathroom.

Reordering priorities and understanding the true value of tradeoffs in material selections were key turning points during the design process. Having clarity about what is best for you and your goals is so very critical in a successful remodel.

AFTER: Free-standing tub and glass corner shower with low threshold entry, shower niche.

Before

The Built-in tub was difficult for the homeowner to get in and out of, as was the phone-booth-styled shower closet.

Another pet peeve was the ugly countertops and the matching vessel sink with funky operating fixtures, one of which had gotten reversed on installation, cold for hot. It is the kind of thing you put with until it breaks you.

The Lower level bath was roughed in with plumbing and that saved a considerable amount on the budget.

After

The free-standing tub next to the glass shower with a low-threshold entry was the perfect solution for these homeowners who expect to stay in this home for many years to come.

AFTER: Vanity, mirrors, floating shelving and free-standing tub.
