Primary Bathroom Reveal at the Bungalow Home

Recently, I had the pleasure of helping first time homeowners do some renovation work on their bungalow home. When they purchased the house nothing had been done to it since the 70’s. The pluses were it had great charm and some of the original moldings and hardware from when it was built in the 50’s. The negatives were outdated rooms, the bathrooms and kitchen, and some rooms that needed a bit of tweaking.

The first order of business was to tackle the bathrooms. The primary bathroom was tiny! We wanted to make it as large as possible. Fortunately, it was on the same wall as their closet. We were able to break down that wall, and expand the bathroom while being able to move the closet over. When we moved the closet over we closed off a wall to the hallway and made it a walk-in one. The bathroom is still not huge, but now is able to house a double vanity and a nice size shower.

Here is how it looked when we started:

To say this bathroom needed an upgrade is an understatement. We had our work cut out for us on this one. We gutted the entire space, added a couple of feet to it, and replaced everything.

We wanted the space to be as luxurious as possible. We found a dark wood, double vanity that we loved. It fit perfectly into the space and went with the style of the home. We added a white quartz counter with grey veining to finish it off.

For the floor we found a black porcelain tile with white veining that mimicked the look of marble. The look and feel of marble adds a luxurious touch to any space. To be able to find this look and have more durability was an added bonus. It gave the bathroom an automatic upgrade. We continued the use of the marble look by adding real marble tile on the shower floor.
