A Lighter-than-Air Spa Bath
A Lighter-than-Air Spa Bath
This dreamy bathroom transformation involved very minimal layout changes to create a soothing spa experience right at home. The former materials in this bathroom were dark and heavy and a large tub deck created cramped, unproductive spaces. The remodel resulted in a bright, modernized spa-like master bathroom with brass fixtures and a Western Red Cedar tongue & groove wood ceiling that evokes the feel of being inside a sauna. Our designer, Anna, put a contemporary spin on this spa with the hexagon tile flooring, colorful blue cabinetry, and pill-shaped sinks. Although this bathroom did not change in size, the spaces feel more open with the new partial-height shower walls, freestanding tub, white tile, marble-like quartz slabs, and better lighting.
“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.”

Before & After
This dreamy bathroom transformation involved very minimal layout changes to create a soothing spa experience right at home. The former materials in this bathroom were dark and heavy and a large tub deck created cramped, unproductive spaces. The remodel resulted in a bright, modernized spa-like master bathroom with brass fixtures.
Maximized Sink Storage
This new vanity cabinet mixes open shelves with drawers to provide options for both storage and display. Fitting drawers below a sink can be challenging due to the piping, but our cabinet shop took advantage of every available inch with two U-Shaped boxes that nest perfectly around the plumbing.
Quartz Shower Bench
A waterfall-edge quartz bench was designed to fit into this shower nook. The bench continues all the way to the floor of the shower, so that there are no spaces beneath it to clean. This Caesarstone Calacatta Nuvo slab was carefully planned so that the vein pattern wraps seamlessly from the top surface to the face of the bench.
Cedar Tongue & Groove Ceiling
Western Red Cedar tongue & groove is a great match for a steamy shower space, and is often used in saunas. Our cabinet shop added a layer of finish to these planks to give another level of durability to the ceiling, which also enhances the natural colors of the cedar. The warmth of this ceiling is a great finishing touch to this soft and bright bathroom.
Intentional Wall Niche
The only downfall of a freestanding tub is that there is no lip or edge to set your favorite candle or glass of wine. In order to keep the windowsill clear of clutter, we framed in a custom wall niche above the tub controls for setting bathing accessories.

“We worked with G. Christianson on a pretty major kitchen remodel, and the whole project went wonderfully from start to finish. They helped us develop our vision for the new kitchen into a concrete set of plans, and they worked with us to keep the project within our budget. As construction progressed, they were communicative and responsive. We really appreciated the weekly meetings they held with us, where they updated us on their progress and consulted with us about any changes we needed to make to our original plan due to unforeseen quirks in our mid-century house. In the end, the work is solid and beautiful, and our new kitchen is a joy to cook and bake in. We really appreciated the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and deep knowledge of the whole G. Christianson team. We felt like we were in good hands the entire time we worked with them. Just as importantly, everyone we interacted with during the project was friendly and professional, from Carl, the owner, to Anna, the designer we worked with, to Ben and the G. Christianson crew, to all of the subcontractors they brought in, and everyone else. We wouldn't hesitate to work with G. Christianson again if we ever have more remodeling work to do, and we highly recommend them.”
