This bathroom remodel was desperately needed in a busy household where the only bathtub was in the basement.

Backstory

Tucked onto a long wooded lot, this 1934 colonial located in Takoma Park, was perfect for this family with two young preschoolers. The owners love their big backyard and Sligo Creek Park with hiking/biking trails is only two blocks away. They can even walk to school. But the problem was that the only bathtub was in the basement. Not a good situation with two kids who love to play outside and get dirty.

Project

The large second floor bathroom was plenty big enough to accommodate a tub, but instead had a creepy tiny shower and an old radiator hidden inside of the wall. The flooring and vanity needed to be replaced and better use of the space was in order. Built to Last was the contractor for this important project.

The homeowner purchased the major items. Airtable was used to share the homeowner selected products with the contractor. The contractor reviewed the products before any purchases were made to ensure that the best options were chosen.

In addition, the contractor recommended recessed light above the shower. A decorative glass film on the window to allow for more privacy and light, an insert in the shower for toiletries and matching stone around the threshold and throughout the bathroom.

Everything felt thoughtful including the tile pattern. Little details suggested by the contractor made big difference that a lay person might not necessarily think about.
