1The challenge
The challenge and the solution
The room had space, but a rarely used alcove tub, a closet in the best corner and a single vanity for two people who leave for work at the same time.
2What we did
We took out the closet walls, moved the drains, recessed the floor framing for a curbless shower with a linear drain and set a freestanding tub under the window. Storage moved into a double vanity with drawer stacks.

The finish board
“Ray's crew set every tile like it was their own bathroom. The heated floor was the best decision we made.”
