These parents of three in West Chester, Pennsylvania, had had great success working with Pine Street Carpenters & The Kitchen Studio when remodeling their kitchen and a few other rooms. So when they were ready to take their primary bathroom down to the studs a few years later, they reached out to them again. “These are fantastic clients to work with, and we had a great working relationship in place,” designer Dana Bender says. She and the rest of the team put together a warm transitional room that suited the clients’ style, made the most of the natural light and added a few new features the homeowners wanted.
Before: The homeowners liked the bathroom’s symmetry, window and large soaking tub. What they didn’t like was the shower stall, seen on the left side of this photo. “It’s nice to have a generous shower stall, but they didn’t like the dark, cavernous feel in there,” Bender says.
The couple each had their own vanity in the room, but the wife wanted one with more countertop space and storage. The swing of two double doors at the bathroom’s entry (pictured later) took up space in the room.
