Bath Crashers

Episode 6: Modern Make-over

July 9, 2010 • 30 min

Turn-of-the-century meets mid-century modern in Minneapolis as a small, dark bathroom is expanded and resized to make it bigger, brighter and breathtakingly beautiful. An inside wall with privacy door closing off toilet/tub area is taken out, making more space. Add a new, 18-inch deep soaker tub and custom-made maple vanity accented with recessed mirror and sconces and throw in a recessed linen cabinet for storage for a revamped, relaxing bath atmosphere. Increased light is gained by adding a custom wood/glass door, and "borrowed light" element for shower wall, replicated from part of the design for the wood/glass door. Tiling on floors adds the feel of bamboo, which compliments a free-standing bamboo wall constructed by host and homeowners. The hatbox toilet just adds cool vibe.
