Upscale Bathroom Makeover

This was a 1965 home in Boise’s foothills that had a tight narrow space without enough natural light. It had a sunken shower and door separating the shower & toilet room from the vanity area. It had baseboard hydronic heat and carpeted floor. Another bathroom had been remodeled by others and they liked the modern look. Additional closets were desired. Lead testing was done by Lead Locators LLC

The Idea:

Eliminate the pocket door and add a window in the shower.  create a half wall over the toilet. Make the shower wall glass. Add a dresser and makeup area. create another closet opposing the existing one.

The Solution:

We had custom cabinets made with an appliance garage. We used “bone-yard” granite counter tops. We added an additional window and upgraded the existing one. We replaced the hydronic heater with a hydronic heater/towel warmer. Under counter lighting and a shower valve location that you don’t have to get wet turning on.

The Details:

Walk in custom tile shower with multiple niches. Panasonic fan, Wood clothing rods, mirrored closet doors.Tile floor, Kohler elongated comfort height toilet with a slow close seat. Moen faucets. Lead was found during inspection of the tiles, so LSWP were used. Post testing clean verification was done.
