Modern Bathroom Oasis
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.

“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. ”

“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. ”
