before and after - a tiny bathroom update

From black and white…. to black and white.

first we shop...

hmm… large hexagon tiles

a nice take on the classic subway tile - we like!

these square shower components are unique - sweet!

the before

this felt tired and it had a lot of broken components, not to mention not enough space for the toilet - it was time for an update

another before shot

and yet another before shot... the updates are next!

fresh and clean!

…with an extra-large recessed medicine cabinet for tons of storage space

keeping the same footprint helped keep costs down

we went for a black ceiling!!

the rain head was a nice treat, and the hand held shower is great on the slider for the little ones

a custom wood cabinet takes full advantage of the small space and adds a nice touch of warmth

space for everything now

the clients are thrilled they finally have a fully functioning bathroom - maybe we’ll find a nice picture or plant for the space one day soon too :)

the armoire - is it still a thing?

I remember years ago how the armoire was the piece of furniture to have. Not just my memories of the 80s with the knotty pine rendition of the day, but from the early part of the 20th century… and from even well well before then too! Has it gone away? Do people now prefer hidden built-ins, walk-in closets with all the bells and whistles, and simple dressers over these once very sought after pieces?

Check out these photos of some really exquisite armoires and tell me, would you want one in your home again perhaps?
