Updates Give Alexandria Bathrooms Fresh Look and Functionality
Our MOSS customers wanted to update both their main level powder room as well as their upstairs hallway bathrooms in their Alexandria home. Both were original to the home and had design flaws that impeded their functionality – in addition, both, aesthetically, were outdated and desperately needed a fresh look.
The homeowners knew that the powder room would have to maintain its original (small) square footage, however, they were hoping to be able to use the space more effectively and efficiently. Replacing the pedestal sink with a cabinet that would allow storage was a key first step and adding board and batten to the walls completely changed the perception of the room’s size. Add in new paint colors and fixtures and the space looks brand new!
The upstairs bathroom, used by the homeowners’ children and guests, was from a bygone era of design, with salmon pink colored tiles on the shower/tub walls. In addition, the tub wasn’t the full length of the bathroom and was instead blocked in with additional tiling to create an unnecessary large shelf/seating area at one end. Replacing the tile on the walls and the floor with more beautiful, neutral grey and white marble tile immediately updated the space, and the new cabinet, vanity, mirrors, and lighting all contributed to creating the bathroom that better suits our customers' needs. Bonus: the new bathtub fits appropriately and makes much more sense to the room!
