bdhomesf | Teen bathroom Phase I, II...and maybe III

Often clients don't renovate immediately when they move into a house, and I think can be a good thing for them to live in their space for awhile to get a sense of what they want.

I recently completed Phase II of a remodel for a client, a teen girls' bathroom, but upon initial move-in, they wanted just a simple refresh.

When my clients first moved in, their girls were a few years younger and bathroom time wasn't critical in their lives. The original bathroom, consisting of an old clawfoot tub, sink and toilet, didn't work for their immediate needs and they wanted to take some time before a major makeover.

For the refresh, the tub was removed and we used FLOR® carpet tiles to cover the old floor tile. Then repainted the walls and added a new sink with counter space.

Fast forward a few years, and now everyone was ready for the girls to have their own shower. The girls' Phase II bathroom remodel included adding a tiled, stand-alone shower, changing the toilet position to accommodate the shower and adding a larger, double vanity for maximum mirror time.

You can see on the new floor plan below, this modest 7'x7' room became more functional once we moved the door frame and created a pocket door with a full mirrored surface.

We chose classic white bathroom fixtures and created a WOW room with orange paint and fun accessories like the yellow/pink/orange window shade pictured below.

Everyone is thrilled with the new space, which will suit the girls through their time living at home.

And for Phase III, we can repaint and re-accessorize with a more mature color scheme!
