This bathroom remodel in Warwick, NY started with a question, “What to do?” The room was dated with the tub / shower failing and the layout, well was far from ideal. The width was a common 5′ but it was deeper than most and it had two doors, one at each end. The solution’s we provided started with the design, needing to stay withing the existing floor area, but looking for how to maximize the space.
Providing a Solution
We proposed the “common layout approach, what you would see in a 5′ x 8′ room but by having the extra depth we would be able to include a custom double vanity and a custom cabinet for storage, all on our clients wish list. To accommodate this we did need to close of one of the doors and shorten the window that would be in the shower area. A couple small changes for the large impact on functionality it made to the space. While the layout may be “common” the finish selection are certainly not and this you know as soon as you open the door to the room.
Bathroom with a Kustom Touch
The custom cabinetry and custom vanity with a uncommon custom granite top invite you in. The wood grain tile floor add some richness and warmth to the room with the green, brown and a touch of grey tones. The soft green of the wall and counter keeps the space refreshing for that “spa like” feel. Then above the soaking bath tub we used a modern sized white subway tile with a green glass accent to tie the space together.
We had seen some of Chris Kehoe’s work of Kehoe Kustom and was impressed so we decided to hire Chris Kehoe to renovate our galley bathroom. We met before we went on a month long vacation and finalized the plans. We chose the main fixtures but a lot of the other details such as paint color, tiles and floor were open for Chris to be creative and he pleasantly was. I had seen a vanity that I wanted in Massachusetts but it was unavailable in New York. I showed a picture of the vanity to Chris and asked him if he could build me that vanity and he said he would. When we got back and saw the bathroom, we were in shock. It was so different from what we had, it looked like a showroom bathroom. It had crown molding, custom made cabinets that afforded me more space to put things in than what I had. Chris’ eye for detail is amazing. The silver edging at the end of the tiles was like the icing on the cake not-to-mention the custom made double vanity and the granite countertop he chose to match. I asked him to make me a shelve on the bottom of the vanity so that I could put baskets which he did and the ornate legs on the vanity is so beautiful. Chris chose a color for the walls that is neutral with a pop of color in the tile around the tub.
By the way, this bathroom was gutted to the studs and the job was completed before we got back from our vacation. But aside from the bathroom, we had Chris and his workers move duct work, plumbing pipes, and do some electrical work. He also put in a new bathroom window and new trim and mill work around all the doors in our home. It was amazing. Can you tell I am overjoyed with how our bathroom was renovated. As bathrooms go, the details is what makes it one of a kind. Would I recommend him, you bet!
