The idea for this featured master bathroom addition sparked from an ordinary event. “It started with the kids fighting over a bathroom,” explains the homeowner. “I contacted Bridget to see what could be done about adding some counter space upstairs, and she had some great ideas for that, but it was just more of a band-aid, so then it was, well if that’s not going to work, let’s talk about doing an addition to make this house livable for us.”

For Bridget Gerhardt, owner of Bridget’s Room, creating beautiful spaces her clients can actually enjoy is one of the things she is most passionate about. So, when the owners of this home approached Bridget about their bathroom, she encouraged them to consider an addition. “They loved their area but wanted a new feel,” she explains. “I encouraged them, if you love your area, you love a lot about your house, and it’s got good bones… we can take this space and make this whole space work with this addition.”

The homeowners had done work with Bridget before and trusted her ideas and were immediately on board. “I was like yep, let’s do it. So, we got out our old floor plan, and Bridget drew on the outside, and she cut apart a washer and dryer and taped them in, she cut apart a shower and a toilet and made her makeshift floor plan,” explains the homeowner. “She envisioned the whole thing from day one and knew what it was going to look like. It took me until it was just about done for me to go, okay, I see it now.”

The bathroom itself is beautiful, light, and airy, with plenty of natural light. Everything in the bathroom was carefully chosen with the other elements in mind to create a beautiful space, from the tiles to the lighting to the counters. The homeowners’ favorite part of the bathroom is the shower with its four different heads.

“We knew we’d love the shower, but I think every time my husband showers he goes, dang I love that shower,” says the homeowner.

For Bridget, hearing that her clients are loving their new addition means everything: “The homeowners have worked hard to be where they’re at, and I feel like a steward of their need… They’re telling me they want to do this, and I feel like it’s my job to be very diligent… because they came to me. They did all the work, and I get to help them do this. That is important to me.”
