Mary’s River Bathroom Addition
Beautiful Historic Farmhouse Bath Addition
This primary bathroom addition onto a 1910 farmhouse rests on a beautiful property along the Mary’s River. The addition extends out into a sunny yard, and features two windows that allow maximum daylight into the compact space. The homeowners worked with the G. Christianson Cabinet Shop to design custom cabinetry for the vanities and wardrobes, including a tip-out laundry hamper, small medicine cabinets, and interior window shutters. A unique feature in this space are the back-to-back vanities that are separated by a wall. On the other half of the addition, a large custom tiled shower features locally made tiles by Pratt & Larson. The primary suite was also remodeled to incorporate new French doors and windows that lead onto a brick patio beneath the trees.
“My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the master bedroom/bath remodel undertaken recently for us by G. Christianson Construction. I had a vision and Carl helped make it a reality. Everyone on the G. Christianson team is absolutely top-notch in terms of skills, and just in general being lovely people to have around. Carl seems to have a knack for finding and securing the talents of the best subcontractors, too. We are thrilled with the results of the project. In fact, I would say it turned out even better than we imagined and hoped!”
Project Details
Wardrobe Cabinets
These wardrobe cabinets were designed for maximum storage with a historic-inspired look. The lower left cabinet hosts a built-in laundry hamper to allow the floor area of the bathroom to be clutter free.
Handmade Tile Shower
Mild color variation in these pale green wall tiles is offset by a tiled crown moulding and a 1x1 mosaic tile with border inlay in this Craftsman-inspired shower. A clear glass door with a decorative handle keeps water spray contained inside of the shower.

Wooden Handrail Upgrade

What our Clients are Saying
“We felt our ideas were listened to, incorporated, and enhanced in the final plans. Elizabeth did a nice job adding architectural interest with the arch above the stove and continuing that feature in the new opening connecting the living room to dining space. Eliminating the wall between dining room & kitchen allowed for a much better flow addressing our desire for a more spacious-looking interior without adding additional space. The hot tub cover is a special feature that enhances our ability to use it daily. And creating a space for the washer/dryer in the house instead of the garage was a real win. ”

“We live in an historic district and Elizabeth did a great job preparing a design which complements our house. She facilitated a smooth historic preservation permit approval. Building a carpentry shop raises a number of non-standard construction issues. Carl patiently answered our many questions. His knowledge of energy efficiency practices was very helpful. Ron, who runs the cabinet shop, provided invaluable insights regarding layout, power needs, etc. Ben and the entire G. Christianson Construction crew were reliable, on time, and hardworking. It was a pleasure to work with Carl, Elizabeth, Ben and the rest of the team. The end result is a beautiful and functional shop – a dream come true. ”

“Greg and Carl have done three different projects for us. I have been impressed every time with their clear and friendly communication, knowledge and experience, work ethic, and attention to detail. I liked that on each project there were no surprises...the cost came in right at the estimate. It's apparent when you work with them that they are interested in building long term relationships, not just making money on one particular job. It's also clear they are good employers to their workers, have strong relationships with a wide range of subcontractors, and have extensive knowledge regarding permitting, etc. I would be very reluctant to go with any other company in town.”
