The Challenge
The attic access was located within the only full bathroom, limiting privacy and complicating future renovation plans. Creating a new hallway meant reducing the bathroom’s footprint, which required a thoughtful redesign to maintain functionality. Additionally, relocating plumbing fixtures—especially the toilet—introduced complexity that needed careful planning and execution.
The Solution
We began by constructing a new hallway, relocating attic access outside of the bathroom and creating space for a much-needed linen closet. Within the newly adjusted bathroom footprint, we reworked the layout—moving the toilet, repositioning the vanity, and converting an awkward shower into a standard tub/shower combination. The updated design balances improved function with a refined farmhouse feel, featuring a warm wood vanity, matte black accents, and a tile floor installed in a subtle pinwheel pattern as a nod to the home’s original character.
