Timeless Fallbrook Multi-Project Update: Bathroom Part Two

For this project, we built a new vanity and brought in completely custom cabinets. Our recommendations for cabinetry work, to create an elevated and elegant look, is to add inset doors and drawers. Quartz countertops were selected for the vanity. We also chose to use more modern, sleek fixtures throughout. We added framed mirrors for a striking look and raised the sconce lights to include taller mirrors. The client liked their crystal chandeliers in their bathroom so we made sure to keep those in the space.

The tub area, as mentioned previously, was changed from a built-in to a freestanding tub. We added a tiled wainscot for both accent and personality. The fixtures on the tub area are matte black to coordinate with the drawer pulls, tying everything together. We kept colors in the gray and white family for a modern look in the space.

We also added a Wineteer Construction specialty: the zero-entry shower. Our zero-entry showers instantly make a space more elevated, by removing the barrier and creating an inviting, welcoming space. For this shower we chose to use a large format 12 x 24 tile. We elected to stack it vertically instead of horizontally as it was the design-choice that made the most sense for the space. It also brought in a unique design for the shower. At Wineteer Construction, we always think outside-the-box and work to bring unique design elements to your space so your project is uniquely yours. We added an inset shower caddy in the shower that matches the wainscot tile, which provides a striking accent. The doors are frameless shower doors with matte black handles.

We loved designing this bathroom for our client! This project had a specific request to update their bathroom to create a more modern look and feel. We accomplished this by adding modern design elements, but we also chose classic grays and whites with matte blacks to keep the look timeless.

Storybook Brookside Home: Guest Bathroom Updates

Our other projects as part of this whole home remodel project for this Brookside family were two bathrooms: the guest bathroom that the young girls share and the couple’s master bathroom. In the guest bathroom, space was the main concern. The bathroom needed to be designed so both girls could use it at once without feeling so cramped. It also served as the guest bathroom and we wanted to make the new layout accessible for when the grandparents came to visit.

We chose to take the wall out and push it back into one of the girls’ bedrooms which allowed us space to add two full-size vanities, two large mirrors, and even a new linen stack in between the two vanities for additional storage. We were big fans of Quartetto for this project and used it again on the bathroom floor. It’s hard not to be a fan when it allows for cool and interesting designs that are less labor-intensive than traditional tilework. Plus the tiles are matte and not sealed so they make for good flooring !

We installed a brand-new tub and tiled the shower with large format subway tile (which is longer and taller than traditional subway tile). We used a slate tile because of the wash of color in the cabinets and floor. By using the chalkboard slate color we contrasted the room and added a dramatic element. We kept the shower curtain as our clients didn’t want to add tracks to the bathtub. The toilet maintained its location but was replaced with a new toilet.

One of the girls had lots of indoor plants, so we created a shelf specifically to be installed in the bathroom window to allow space for then to get sunshine, while not cluttering the vanity countertop. We also installed medicine cabinets above the sinks framed with crown molding with outlets inside the cabinets. This is a custom design from Wineteer that we like to include in bathroom remodels whenever possible to create a sleek look.

We loved these simple touches to this Kansas City bathroom remodel that elevated the space, made it accessible for guests, and ensured the young girls would have a space to grow into. Stay tuned for the final part of this series where we share about the master bathroom renovation!
