the original space had too much going on, and somehow not enough. shapes competed, light bounced in all the wrong places, and nothing quite felt settled.

this renovation was an exercise in restraint. stripping back what wasn’t working, and letting the materials do more of the talking. a walk-in shower now anchors the room, wrapped in soft vertical tiles that shift from sage to off-white depending on the wall. a custom oak vanity brings warmth and clarity, grounded by brass fixtures and quiet texture underfoot.

the layout hasn’t just changed—it’s steadied. lines are cleaner, proportions more generous. light has room to move. there’s a rhythm now, between surface and shade, reflection and absorption.

it’s still a family bathroom, but one that feels slower. more resolved. less about design gestures, more about how it feels to move through the space every day.
