Powder Room Remodel

Although only 3'x8' in size, this powder room makes a huge statement. Class and style make up this main level half bath. The deep red walls allow the fixtures and moulding to pop, bringing attention to the beautiful lines of the sink, toilet, and baseboard.

The original powder room was typical of it's 1980's with an almond melamine vanity base, marbleized vanity top, and green mosaic floor tile.

All fixtures, tile, and accessories were purchased locally as stock items. As with many remodel jobs, the customer is given a spreadsheet with the fixtures and major items required for the remodel. Before spending a dollar, the customer has a range of cost for the remodel job, based on their preferences of quality. The customer can then shop at the recommended stores and suppliers and pick out all the items to make their dream bathroom a reality.

The choice in a pedestal sink as opposed to a new vanity makes the bathroom appear larger and less cluttered. Being a powder room, storage under the sink was not an important concern with the customer. The 8" on center, brushed nickel faucet lends a sophistication to the overall appearance of the sink area.

The floor tile was installed diagonally, taking away from the overall squareness of the room. It also creates a sense of making the room feel larger. The high profile baseboard moulding enhances the overall elegance of the room.

When is a toilet not just a toilet? When it can flush a dozen golf balls at one time. The American Standard Williamsburg was the choice for this remodel. This toilet has a high profile tank. Because the corners are mitred, it appears smaller. Another key feature to make a small bathroom seem larger. It was recommended that the customer take the manufacturer's word on the 12 golf ball promise.
