It felt appropriate to keep the stacked wall and hexagonal floor tile patterns (similar to the original bathroom design) when updating.
The bathroom was re-framed to allow for no awkward cuts in the corners to give a high-end, polished look. The only cuts made were around the existing tub and window.
Niches were custom built (not pre-formed) to ensure no tiles were cut surrounding them.
The original tub was salvaged.
A vintage, MCM dresser was repurposed as a vanity.
The original tub was placed on a custom platform to allow the back part of the space to become a wet bath.
Vintage adjustable shelves that were carefully removed from a previous project were salvaged and leveraged in this particular renovation.
