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.

“I like to do things in horizontal layers, like a cake,” she says. “For example, here the cabinet hardware [aged brass] is one layer, the plumbing fixtures [polished nickel] are the next layer, and the mirrors and sconces [unlacquered brass] are the next layer. I will also stick with the same finish in categories, such as all the plumbing fixtures or lighting fixtures. Also, I’ll use all warm or all cold finishes within one room. Polished nickel can go either way, but it has warm undertones that chrome does not.”
