Small Bath

Published December 16, 2009

This second bath in the client’s house is about as small as a full bath can be, at 5″ wide by 7″ deep.

A new permanent design for this bath entails more than the client wants to spend on it at this time, so in the meantime, we were able to spruce it up with a new mirror, new bath hardware, rugs and towels, and a very subtle faux finish paint on the walls.

We also replaced the oak shelf, towel bars, robe hook, and toilet seat with a single chrome shelf for towels, porcelain and chrome hardware, and a plain white wood seat to complete the brightening up of this little bath.

A few years later, the masonite paneled wall was rebuilt as a proper pocket-door wall, a new pocket door was installed, and new moldings were added for the pocket door. Eventually, the new wall, pocket door and moldings were painted.
