Modern Farmhouse Bathroom Addition
Modern Farmhouse Bathroom Addition
This quaint 800 sqft house located in Central Corvallis contained only 1 Bathroom to share between the family of four living in this home, and thus was in major need of a second Bathroom. We added several feet onto the back of the house, with half of the addition containing the new primary bathroom and the other half containing a covered porch. To maximize floor plan space, we installed a recirculation pump instead of a dedicated water heater. This gorgeous new bathroom not only provides increased functionality in the home, but is also an oasis for the homeowners with the double faucet sink in the vanity, natural daylight, tiled shower with a frameless glass barn door slider, and material selections that thoughtfully blend relaxing beach themes and cozy farmhouse styles.
Project Details
Custom Mirror
Designer Elizabeth envisioned a custom mirror, creating an intentional window and mirror relationship to contribute to the spacious feeling of this Bath despite it’s size. We installed the thin single hung windows, and then replicated the finished heights of the windows for the mirror height and fabricated the mirror width to fit perfectly between the two windows. The mirror frame and window casings were built to align perfectly with each other.
Double Faucet
This trough sink with two faucets provides a fantastic space-saving alternative to a double sink vanity! Two people can use the sink, yet plenty of space is reserved for cabinet drawer storage.
Barn Door Shower Glass
A prominent feature of this bathroom is the barn door-style shower glass enclosure with matte black hardware. The glass shower enclosure opens the bathroom, making it feel larger, and the barn door-style door not only fits in with the modern farmhouse-style that this bathroom is styled in, but also doesn't open into the travel path like typical hinged shower doors do. There is great value in good design, when executed well, it can greatly elevate a project like this.
Beadboard Door and Drawer Style
A beadboard door and drawer style was selected for the vanity as a perfect way to blend the envisioned Bathroom aesthetic of beachy and farmhouse. It also adds character without overwhelming this small bathroom space, helping to create its cozy and comfortable environment.
Marmoleum Flooring
We installed marmoleum flooring in this Bathroom, as a sustainable flooring alternative to vinyl flooring. Marmoleum is made from raw materials, produced CO2 neutral, recyclable and is a durable choice for a Bathroom, as it is water resistant and easy to clean. The proportions of this Bathroom allowed the marmoleum to create a wood floor-look for this space.
What our Clients are Saying
“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. ”

“Carl came up with a few different designs to shade the front windows from sun during the summer. The designs were done with software that could show the amount of shading and view from different angles, including from inside the house, at different times of the year. This was very helpful in visualizing the designs and making decisions.”
