A primary and guest bathroom renovation in Raleigh

This family wanted to update both their primary and guest bathrooms. The spaces felt cramped and dated. We rethought the layouts and chose finishes that tie the two baths together.

What the family wanted

• More comfort and function for everyday use
• The most out of limited square footage
• A clean, modern look
• Continuity between the primary and guest baths

The challenges

• The primary bath had an awkward entry, a tiny shower with a low ceiling, and very little storage
• The guest bath worked but was dated
• Both spaces felt dark and closed in

How we built it

1. Removed the old cabinets, fixtures, and tile
2. Framing changes to raise the shower ceiling and add niches
3. Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC rough-in
4. Insulation and drywall repairs
5. Floor and shower or tub tile
6. Vanities, trim, and fixtures
7. Frameless shower door in the primary bath
8. Paint, cleanup, and the final walkthrough

The result

The primary bath is brighter, more open, and comfortable for daily use, and the guest bath is welcoming for visitors. Matching gold fixtures and complementary tile tie the two together.
