This was a dream project! The clients purchased this 1880s home and wanted to renovate it for their family to live in. It was a true labor of love, and their commitment to getting the details right was admirable. We rehabilitated doors and windows and flooring wherever we could, we milled trim work to match existing and carved our own door rosettes to ensure the historic details were beautifully carried through. Every finish was made with consideration of wanting a home that would feel historic with integrity, yet would also function for the family and extend into the future as long possible. We were not interested in what is popular or trendy but rather wanted to honor what was right for the home.

This is an example of a mid-sized contemporary bathroom in Other with medium wood cabinets, medium hardwood floors, a vessel sink and wood benchtops.

The home is a classic mid century modern overlooking Lake Oswego. The master bath is cramped and outdated with lots of monochromatic plastic laminate and a very small mildewed shower surround. The client wanted to increase the size of the shower and update the bathroom in keeping with the architectural style of the rest of the house. Of course, budget was a concern as well. We were able to double the size of the shower as well as removing the dropped ceiling which used to house the bath fan. The new shower surround features a separate fixed head and handshower, porcelain tile with glass “bullet” accents and a niche for storage. The new wall mount vanity, medicine cabinet and light valance were custom built to match the teak room dividers that run through the kitchen and living room. A new Marmoleum floor and updated plumbing fixtures provide the finishing touches. The finished product accomplishes the client’s goals and fits seamlessly with the rest of the house.

This formidable turn-of-the-century home sits on a large lot overlooking a prominent lake in Minneapolis. The architecturally significant home was altered to create a connected kitchen/family space, an informal powder room, mudroom, and functional connection to the garage. Additionally, the kitchen and children’s bath were renovated and a new nursery was created. A new home gym, complete with an indoor resistance pool, now occupies a portion of the home’s lower level space. Troy Thies Photography - Joe Metzler, SALA Architects

Bathroom staging. My contractor, J. Christopher Interiors re-polished the stone. I had already purchased a new shower curtain and towels for the space and had to revisit that task because the clarity of the colors in the stone. post-polishing, were so different. The bathroom looks brand new.
