Vintage character with a modern routine: the tub came out, the bedroom entrance moved behind a pocket door, and a walnut vanity now pairs one sink with a makeup area.

This primary ensuite was reworked around the homeowners’ daily routine. We removed the existing bathtub and moved the bedroom entrance toward the exterior wall, with a pocket door to save space.

In the shower, a marble floor and small white wall tiles set off fixtures in an antique brass finish. A recessed niche in the half wall holds storage, and an outlet behind the toilet is ready for a future bidet.

The build, in order

  1. Design rendering of the ensuite: a glass shower behind a half wall with a niche, a pale oak vanity under an arched brass mirror, and a makeup counter

    01Design

    Layout, tile, cabinetry and fixtures, chosen and rendered before anything is priced or built.

  2. The ensuite stripped to bare studs, insulation and subfloor, with a drain and pipes showing

    02Demo

    Back to the studs and subfloor, so site conditions are dealt with before they become problems.

  3. Shower walls coated in waterproofing, a herringbone tile floor in the shower and the half wall wrapped and taped

    Waterproofing and the shower floor, each stage photographed for your weekly progress update.

  4. The ensuite nearly finished: white wainscoting, a tiled shower wall with a recessed niche, and a laser level on a tripod

    04Build

    Tile, wainscoting and the niche go in, with every trade on site run by a dedicated project manager.
