A Spectacular Transformation: Creating an Arctic Oasis Bathroom
Our client met with us with the concept of opening up her dated bathroom, getting rid of the pink tub and pink sink, and making an “Arctic” oasis. We collaborated to achieve the dream design that matched her budget goals. We incorporated unique details that were instrumental to achieving the feel she desired for her Bathroom, such as a color-changing backlit mirror, a full-height tiled wall behind the vanity, and a glass shower enclosure. We also replaced her unsafe electrical panel and added insulation improvements.
“Turning what was once a 1950's pink bathroom into an Artic Oasis was delightful for both the Client and G. Christianson Construction. ”

Project Details
Before/After
A floating vanity, gorgeous tiled walls, tiled shower and tiled floor, a glass shower enclosure, and removing the soffits truly transformed the feel of the space!
Backlit Mirror
One of the features of this bathroom is the floating vanity and floating backlit mirror. The mirror has color-changing LED lights, so you can use a small remote control to change the color and brightness to match your mood. The ambient lighting really helps the glass tile catch your eye.
Shower Glass Installation
The homeowner wanted the Bathroom to be more open, as the existing floor plan made the vanity, shower, and toilet feel like separate rooms. We changed the full-height walls to pony walls, except where the showerhead was located, and added glass panels that reach the ceiling with a hinged glass door. The glass for this tub/shower combo was carefully scribed to tightly fit the contours of the half wall separating the shower from the vanity.

What our Clients are Saying
“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.”
