Project Case Study: Modernizing a Historic Home's Bathroom while Preserving its Timeless Charm

Our homeowner had a goal of bringing their 100-year-old home into the 21^st century. With a well-designed and executed plan, this bathroom was refreshed and modernized while still looking like it’s been there all along.

The primary objectives included refreshing the space, adding more storage, and implementing modern amenities, all while maintaining the charm of the original 1920 home.

The first steps included safely removing all the lead paint, cracked floor tile, and an old laundry chute to free up additional space. The bathroom was then demolished down to the framing and subfloor, and the old laundry chute was sealed off. With the room stripped, our production team was able to true up uneven walls and level out the severely sloping floor to make a great base to rebuild.

Achieving a Flawless Blend of Classic and Modern Fixtures

Our design team and homeowners spent countless hours working together to find the perfect fixtures to tie the space together. Every detail mattered to our clients, from the shower fixtures to the feet on the tub. Finding these classic fixtures in an oil-rubbed bronze, while challenging, really accentuated the final product. The modern amenities in a traditional style made for a more functional space and very happy homeowners. 

The Final Result

This historic bathroom remodel successfully achieved the homeowner's goal of modernizing their 100-year-old home while preserving its timeless charm.

Through a well-designed and executed plan, the space was refreshed and updated, seamlessly blending contemporary elements with the bathroom's original features. The final result is a bathroom that looks like it has always belonged in the home, a perfect fusion of old and new. The homeowner can now enjoy a space that beautifully combines the nostalgia of the past with the convenience and comfort of the present.
