"[It had] a palette of gray and white builder-grade finishes, and no particular vision or care taken to restore the home's original features or pay respect to its history," Brandi previously told Apartment Therapy."
"[It was] a dusty little gray and white bathroom with the most bizarre layout you could imagine. The toilet was literally set in an angle in the corner!" Brandi says. "Out of all the spaces in the cottage, this one saw the biggest transformation."
"Settling on a new layout was super challenging, because it's only a 6'x6′ space," Brandi says. "And with building codes, there are specific clearances you need between certain elements, and also have to place others at particular heights, etcetera. Getting all of that to work in such a tight space wasn't easy! But, it was a fun challenge."
The 107-year-old Omaha cottage's original features had been stripped and replaced with gray and white builder-grade finishes, described as a 'Home Depot special.' A three-person contracting team, Casitas Construction, helped reinject charm and character. The bathroom, a cramped 6'x6' space, underwent the largest transformation, requiring a complete layout rethink to meet building-code clearances. The mirror and sink were replaced with an Alape basin and a HAY Arcs mirror and moved to the opposite wall to avoid awkward positioning beside the tub. Added shelving above the tub created storage for towels and toiletries. A new pocket door improved circulation and saved space.
