Site plan: A big part of the design was figuring out walkways and how to create different experiences around the property.

On this plan, the lake is at the top and the driveway is at the bottom. A rectangular paver path leads from the driveway to the entry. A grass path on the left leads to the lake-facing side of the house. Around the far side of the garage, on the right, is a bluestone path. Cutting gardens and edible plantings are represented by the boxes to the right of that path.

Toward the top of the plan, off the back of the house, is a large patio that overlooks the lake. The little nook on the left side of the patio is an art garden. There are two stepped paths leading from the patio down to the lake. The one on the left leads from the playroom down to a playground area. The one in the center leads down to the dock.

After: Lundin eliminated the main components and updated the electrical and plumbing. “Efforts were made to keep plumbing fixtures relatively close to where they were, to help buffer costs,” Lundin says. “We tried to be clever about that.”

Removing the corner shower allowed Lundin to create a larger double vanity with wood-look laminate slab door and drawer fronts in a walnut finish. A roomier makeup area splits the vanities, adding symmetry. “It’s a floating vanity and we put LEDs under there that make it look attractive and serve as nightlights,” Lundin says.

The backsplash is composed of 12-by-24-inch porcelain tiles, cut to fit, in black, white and gold with a hand-painted look in a vertical pattern. “There are also some bluish-gray tones that pull from the wallcovering we used in the bathroom,” Lundin says.

Four damp-rated 25-inch black LED linear pendant lights hang in front of a custom mirror. “I’m increasingly using pendants in bathrooms to get better lighting on people’s faces,” Lundin says. Luxury vinyl plank wood-look flooring adds warmth and durability.

This older adult wanted to update his decades-old en suite bathroom to help with aging in place and deliver a wow factor. He tapped designer Molly Littlejohn and Kraft Custom Construction to spearhead the makeover. The remodeling team ditched a little-used jetted tub, as well as a worn wood vanity and a tight fiberglass shower stall, then reworked the layout for better maneuverability.

By rearranging the location of the main components, they were able to create a roomier walk-in shower, a larger vanity that significantly improves storage and an open toilet area, leaving plenty of floor and elbow room. A layered lighting scheme results in a well-lit space and highlights the warm contemporary style that combines various off-white tiles, matte black fixtures and a natural knotty alder vanity cabinet with concrete-look countertop.
