Small Half Bath Remodel

by LD

Finally getting around in sharing our half bath remodel in our condo, which I designed. The dimensions are 4x5. I do have to say that we were initially going to have a bathroom design showroom do the vanities, but when they came back with a quote of $3,500 for each vanity, that's when I said no way, and began the search to find the vanity that I wanted, but for a reasonable cost.
So living in a condo there are restrictions, such as the plumbing locations can't be moved around and one can't do add on's. But that doesn't mean that you can't be creative in designing the space in order to create storage or function you desire.
This half bath is part of the master bedroom, and I wanted it to be reflective of the bedroom, which will be spa/Caribbean. As you see there is no window, so your design needs to incorporate ways to bring light, storage, and the sense of space. The ceiling, door and trim are decorator white and the walls are a soft warm cream. These colors will be carried throughout our condo, in order to create light and have continuity throughout the condo. The color will be added with art, furnishings and accessories.
I purchased or had certain pieces custom made, and had the installation done by my contractor.
So let your inner creative side loose and create the space that is reflective of you. Sometimes the entire design comes together quickly and other times it evolves while finding the components for the space.

Joanne, thank you so much for your incredible sweet words. I have faith that you too can create a beautiful Jack and Jill bathroom. Since this room connects to other rooms, you want to incorporate colors from those spaces in your design. Mine half bath started with the Italian glass tile and then grew from there. Feel free to reach out to me.

That would be so helpful. We won't be getting started for about a month or two, (I am recovering from being very ill) but as we get ever closer, I will do just that, reach out to you - a real pro, with a helpful spirit! I love the idea of connecting some elements from the two rooms into the bathroom...and believe it or not, I've already written down several ideas! Thanks again for your great inspiration!

  Your welcome Joanne and thanks for your sweet comments. Take care of yourself, and I look forward to hearing from you when your ready. In the meantime, if you should see something (accessories, art work, bathroom fixtures, colors, etc.) on the web or in a magazine, be sure to keep a folder.
