Sometimes you need some room to yourself!
This home in Mount Vernon is shared and has bedrooms upstairs and downstairs.
However, the only showers in the house are on the second story. Why? No idea. Fortunately a small office was immediately adjacent to the 1/2 bathroom that was located on the main floor of the home. This allowed space to expand the bathroom to accommodate a custom built low-curb tile shower and a new vanity.
The layout of the house is also fortunately conducive to creating a separate living space since a hallway leads to the bedroom, bathroom, and storage room. I am installing a new wall and door in this hallway so that the woman who lives there can have her own space separate from the rest of the house. Soon there will be no more walking up the long flight of stairs to take a shower – the shower will be right next door to the bedroom.

This project is currently in progress… as soon as my tile crew finishes the shower the stunning final photos will hit the world wide web :-). Stay tuned…
And please, give me a call if you would like to get your project started. I would love to help you achieve your dreams for your home.
