Clients desired a bathroom renovation for more counter space and personality. The initial design had dark gray finishes and bulky storage. With contractor Bob Kaulbach, the renovation focused on enhancing functionality while maintaining fixture placement. They opted for a new vanity that fit better with their vision, adding mid-century style through hardware swaps. The use of bold tile and wallpaper added vibrant colors, reflecting the couple's willingness to embrace unique design ideas. Courtney emphasized the importance of finalizing layout and materials early in the renovation process for smoother execution.
"My clients specifically requested more counter space and wanted a space with more personality ... rather than the boring builder-grade look it had."
"The vanity we [originally] selected ended up being backordered once construction started, so we had to pivot... swapping out the hardware to give it a more mid-century feel - an easy way to customize a vanity without paying for fully custom."
"As a designer, it's always inspiring to have clients who trust you and will go along with your crazy ideas... the couple I was working with LOVED it and I'm thrilled with how it turned out for them."
Courtney's advice for remodeling a bathroom is to determine your layout early. "Having your layout figured out and your main materials selected ahead of time will help the project run smoother and will allow you to get more accurate bids."
