"When my husband and I bought our 1970s ranch house, we knew the main floor bathroom needed serious attention. It was dark and outdated, with orange-y brown cabinets. Once we started the demolition, we were glad we didn't wait because behind the walls we discovered a burst pipe and moldy insulation. A professional renovation eliminated the mold, repaired the pipe, and gave the bathroom a sleek, timeless refresh that fit our design vision. Our focuses: comfort, durability, and a few personal must-haves."
"As for the tub, my husband scoured the internet and found the deepest soaking model he could that would fit in the bathroom. He also wanted something a little fancier than a shower curtain, so we opted for a sleek sliding glass door that keeps water in (unlike the trendy half-doors I've tried, which look great but splash everywhere). It's also easy to clean and helps reduce mold and mildew - a win-win."
The 1970s ranch house main-floor bathroom was dark, outdated, and contained orange-y brown cabinets. Demolition uncovered a burst pipe and moldy insulation that required professional remediation. The renovation removed mold, repaired plumbing, and delivered a sleek, timeless refresh focused on comfort and durability. One partner insisted on a deep soaking tub while the other required heated tile floors. The tub selection included a sliding glass door to contain water and reduce mildew. An electric underfloor heating system proved affordable for the smaller bathroom and provides appreciated warmth underfoot. Large-format Carrara marble-look tile was used for floor and shower surround and ran halfway up the walls.
