Summit Hill Primary Bathroom Remodel

1907 Summit Hill Primary Bathroom Remodel

When you live in a turn-of-the-century home, it’s easy to fall in love with the character. It’s not always as easy to love a bathroom designed for a different era.

After partnering with us to remodel their front porch, the homeowners turned their attention to the primary bathroom. Despite some cosmetic updates over the years, the layout was inefficient, storage was limited, and remnants of an earlier remodel continued to compromise the space. The goal wasn’t to make the bathroom feel brand new. It was to create a space that looked as though it had always belonged in this classic home while functioning the way a modern primary bathroom should.

Same Footprint, Better Layout

Although the bathroom’s footprint stayed the same, a few key layout decisions dramatically improved the room.

BEFORE

The pedestal sink was replaced with a tucked-away toilet, creating much more privacy than before. Relocating the sink also made room for a properly sized vanity with generous storage and usable countertop space.

Timeless Materials with a Modern Twist

While white forms the foundation of the design, creating a timeless white bathroom is about much more than choosing white tile. Our article on how to design with white explores why thoughtful material and color selections are essential to creating a space that feels warm rather than flat. Here, natural stone introduces warmth and texture, while the soft blue walls add depth and personality.

Throughout the project, the homeowners trusted the designer’s choices, creating a space that feels true to the home’s age while working beautifully for modern life.

In the end, the homeowners are thrilled to have a private retreat where they can escape the chaos of everyday life. With more storage, improved function, and a timeless design, the bathroom is built to serve them well for years to come. Ready to start your own bathroom remodel? We’d love to help.
