Historic Craftsman Bathroom Addition
1915 Master Bathroom Addition
The new owners of this property visited G. Christianson Construction last summer after purchasing this 1915 Bungalow in Corvallis (near the Public Library). The problem: The house only had one bathroom. The solution: Add a 5′ by 14′ addition off the Master Bedroom. Our superintendent Steve passionately restores historic homes and had worked on the same home about ten years ago when G. Christianson restored the kitchen and front deck to their former glory. The previous owner kept a detailed book of restorations, which she passed to the new owners, which brought them to us. With a lot of hard work, this Historic Bathroom Addition came to life!
“...From beginning to end this was the best remodel experience we have had...”

PROJECT DETAILS
Built-in laundry hamper
We use custom cabinetry on our projects, which gives G. Christianson the ability to add the features our clients request. In this case, a built-in laundry hamper, that smoothly disappears into the linen cabinet.
Recreating Vintage Tile Work
Our craftsmen went to work building the addition to match the home's style exactly. Then we hired one of the best tile masons in town to install the shower, wainscotting and floor tile. The tile work stayed true to the flair of the existing bathroom, with white subway tile, black pinstripes with diamond accents, and white grout.

What our Clients are Saying
“To everyone at G. Christianson- thank you! We have loved working with every one of you on our "new" house. It is all perfect and you made it so. We are enjoying it very much. Anna- we could not have had a better Designer than you. You were amazing all the way through!! We love our new house. ”
Mark & Tammy Manning, via handwritten card
“The designer, Elizabeth, was amazingly talented. Her knowledge of ADA construction details and resources was impressive. Not only did she succeed at designing bathrooms, toilets, and a kitchen that are fully ADA-compliant, but they are aesthetically beautiful as well as functional and practical. I had never heard of 'flying toe kicks' before, but they make it so easy for me or my husband to sit in a chair while washing dishes or preparing food in the kitchen. I had also never heard of ADA-compliant appliances, but Elizabeth had - and they make life so much easier! Cooking in my new kitchen is now a dream rather than a nightmare. ”

“My favorite part of this project was working with the designer to incorporate many of the original house design elements and features into the new cabinet design- such as the custom cabinet top molding that matches the same detail in the dining room ceiling. I knew immediately that Sapele was the perfect wood species for the house. It really gives the cabinetry a nice vintage feel and look while maintaining the clean lines and functionality of contemporary high end cabinetry. This project was a great demonstration of the capabilities of our cabinet shop, we couldn't be more thrilled with how it turned out. ”
