"Although I'm an architect with a care for historic fabric, the function just didn't work for us. We're tall people, and the sink was so low and had a small leaking issue. The toilet, while amazing in its pink glory, used so much water. And the shower head was at about shoulder height on my husband - not a desirable shower experience."
"Since the rest of the house was in such great shape, this was one of the top spaces we felt like we could really invest our money and do something that we would really enjoy,"
A 1930s pink-tiled bathroom combined mid-century charm with impractical fixtures for tall occupants, including a low sink, a leaking issue, a water-wasting toilet, and a low shower head. The homeowners chose a top-to-bottom gut renovation with a $20,000 budget while keeping the existing layout to minimize additional costs. An architect homeowner sourced materials over a year to find deals and coordinated with contractors to implement the plan. The renovation prioritized a walk-in shower, cleaner aesthetics, and improved functionality, investing in the bathroom as a primary space for upgrades while preserving the efficient footprint.
