Jenkintown Bathroom Transformation

Elkins Park Bathroom Renovation With Custom Flooring

Last week, we wrapped up a bathroom renovation project in Elkins Park. The couple whose house we worked on was so excited about their new bathroom that the wife gave the shower a test run before the project was even completely finished! To say the least, she was extremely satisfied with the results.

We transformed this space from an outdated musky bathroom into a warm, elegant place for a couple to relax and comfortably pamper in. The existing bathroom was surrounded by a dull brown ceramic tiling, with accessories to match. The overall look of the prior bathroom was outdated and dingy – the accessories looked almost plastic.

So, we stripped everything down and gave the

bathroom a complete makeover - floors, walls,

lighting fixtures, accessories, vanity, mirror, toilet

- the works!

The couple wanted a classy, chic and elegant bathroom. They wanted the space to feel posh yet inviting. So, we chose materials that reflected this agenda and created a warm and relaxing spa-like bathroom.

Using neutral colors and warm lighting, the caramel color of the tiles we chose reflect and emit a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. The walls and floors are Antico stone field tiles.

We installed a custom designed marble tile detail

on the floor and the shower walls, 1/2″x1/2″ and 1″x1″

Mosaic stone, respectively.

The couple handpicked the vanity from Pottery barn that includes a granite top and drop in sink, a 24″ framed mirror and duo sconces add to the group.

We installed sliding glass doors with chrome handles to encase the shower. The handlebars and shower accessories inside compliment the rim of the glass doors.

There is an additional light in the exhaust fan,

and two recessed lights in the ceiling,

offering more brightness into the area.

Needless to say, the finished product was a complete flip over from what had existed before. The couple is now happy to wake up in the morning and get ready in their brand new bathroom.

Drexel Hill, Philadelphia Dream Bathroom Remodel

A recent remodeling project took the dRemodeling team to Drexel Hill to renovate a cramped, outdated bathroom. The homeowner wanted to update her drab bathroom and turn it into a luxurious, hotel-worthy space. Rich, warm tones combined with high-end materials easily turned this bathroom into a chic and sophisticated room that could easily be found in any 5-star hotel.

Bathroom Remodels for Small Bathrooms

A bathroom remodel can really change the feel of a home with just a few small adjustments. Even if you have a small bathroom, updating the space can help take your bathroom from a drab and dated space to a sleek and stylish bathroom.

A small bathroom is a great place to make a statement. Making sure the space is cohesive in terms of color palette and materials used, you can really push the limits in terms of color and textures. Often times, homeowners will feel more comfortable experimenting on a small room than a larger room. So now is your chance to mix it up with a great remodel!

If you’re working with a full bath, opt for an updated shower stall with glass enclosures to open up the space and make it feel bigger than it is. Pedestal sinks and wall mounted sinks will also give the illusion of more space by freeing up a bit of the floor that a larger vanity would occupy. If you do want a vanity with storage space, check out some floating vanities that offer a modern look without hogging floor space.

Light fixtures are another way that you can update a small bathroom without spending much money. Size-proportionate sconces and light fixtures should be used so that the lighting doesn’t overwhelm the space. Also be conscious of size when choosing mirrors and other bathroom hardware.

When it comes time to decide what to do with the walls, this is your chance to really push the boundaries and work with bold, warm colors or fun patterns. Play with wallpapers, or opt for a tiled accent wall. Glass mosaic tile on one wall, or a section of the bathroom, will instantly brighten the room.

Use these tips when updating your small bathroom to get the most out of the space. Remember that sticking to scale and playing with colors, materials and textures are all great ways to totally revamp and remodel the room.

Bryn Mawr Master Bathroom Makeover

The creation of a large, roomier master bathroom was the end goal of this particular project.  Amply large windows were in place on two of the walls as well as a cathedral ceiling that featured a skylight.

Initially, the underlying framing was inspected and reinforced.  dRemodeling then prepared the lines for electrical wiring, HVAC, and plumbing.  Next, we installed flooring plywood as well as moisture and mold-resistant drywall on the ceiling and walls.  All the surfaces were primed for painting or prepared for tiling.

Top quality luxury bathroom fixtures were then installed such as a frameless glass shower and jacuzzi tub and an enclosed bidet.  An ornate vanity that contained a double sink was also installed in the process as well as a polished stone countertop and recessed lighting.

dRemodeling then created a natural, serene, and warmer atmosphere by selecting and applying the ideal color scheme by employing subdued, earthtone colors with varying-patterned tiles along the base of the jacuzzi.  Diamond-patterned floor tiles using the same color scheme was also used and the sheetrock was painted in similar fashion.
