The project story

A bathroom planned as one room, from the wet area outward.

01

The starting point

The original project media documents the bathroom before demolition and through the rebuild. The room called for a more complete wet-area layout and finishes that could connect the shower, tub, and vanity zones.

02

The remodeling approach

The work was coordinated around the custom shower first, then carried through the bench, niche, tile, glass, soaking tub, vanity surfaces, fixtures, and surrounding finish details.

03

The finished result

The completed primary bathroom feels more open and deliberate, with a walk-in shower that anchors the room and a consistent palette connecting the wet area, tub, and vanity.

Materials and finishes

What went into this remodel.

Shower surfaces
Marble-look wall tile and a patterned shower floor frame a recessed niche and curved tiled bench. The tile manufacturer and underlying material specification are not documented.
Glass and bathing
Frameless glass defines the completed walk-in shower beside a freestanding soaking tub.
Vanity area
The vanity, countertop, and surrounding finishes were updated with the shower and tub as one bathroom scope.

Documented scope

What changed across the shower, tub, vanity, and finishes.

The scope below is limited to work visible in the original New Life project media. Undocumented product brands and specifications are intentionally omitted.

01

Rebuild the wet area

The shower area was rebuilt with coordinated wall and floor surfaces, updated fixtures, and carefully resolved wet-area transitions.

02

Add a bench and niche

A curved built-in bench and recessed wall niche give the shower practical storage and seating without breaking the material flow.

03

Install frameless glass

The glass enclosure keeps the shower visually open while clearly defining the wet area and preserving sightlines through the room.

04

Coordinate tub and vanity

The freestanding soaking tub, vanity, countertop, and surrounding finishes were updated as parts of the same bathroom composition.

05

Carry the finish details

Tile alignment, trim, fixtures, wall surfaces, and transitions were brought together so the finished room reads as one project.

Planning a similar project

Decisions to bring to your own estimate.

See what changed before choosing finishes

The original room had a glass-block partition and a built-in tub surround. The finished room uses frameless shower glass and a freestanding tub, changing the visual relationship between the two bathing areas.

Plan the bench and niche with the tile

The completed shower integrates storage and seating into the wet area. For a similar project, discuss their location and dimensions before finalizing the tile layout and glass.

Coordinate the whole bathroom

The photographs show the shower, tub, and vanity as connected parts of the room. Include the surrounding floor, wall, and fixture transitions when defining a bathroom estimate.
