Starcom Design/Build Case Studies: Master Bathroom Revamp in West Friendship, MD
Challenge
When the homeowners grew weary of their outdated master bathroom, they decided to call on us to transform their master ensuite into a luxurious space for relaxation. There was a big whirlpool tub that took up a lot of room and rarely was used. The shower stall was ordinary and cramped. The only storage area in the room was under the sink and too small. Our customer stored their towels out in the hall linen closet. Since this was the original bathroom in the 21 year old home, some items were in need of repair. Instead of investing more money into this room in which they weren’t happy, they decided to remodel and get the bathroom of their dreams.
We needed to find a way that would best use the space in the bathroom without compromising the design and detail. This included reconfiguring the entire space so that we were able to fit all of their wish list items into this space.
Solution
The finished result is gorgeous and blends beautifully with the existing home. Trying to utilize the existing space, we built a luxury corner shower surrounded by a custom frameless rain-finish enclosure which allows light in, without giving up the privacy. The shower pan is Island Stone in Java Grey Pebble, which is an eclectic design detail that most people would expect. The shower includes fixed and hand held Hansgrohe showerheads, dual-level corner bench and niches for personal items.
The Toto-Nexus faucets, in brushed nickel finish, compliment the demi backsplash and granite magenta circa countertops that were finished with bull nose edging. The cherry cabinetry with nutmeg-finish accents this room beautifully. In the place of the old shower is a floor to ceiling storage area. There is also a vanity area in between the double sinks, which fulfilled our customer’s request for a space to sit and apply her makeup.
Our customers are thrilled with the finished product. No more wasted space on unwanted items. A stylish new bathroom which is practical and appealing now adorns their home. She is now thinking of other remodeling projects she would like and we took forward to working together as a team once again.
