A Day in the Life of a General Contractor

"...one bathroom; four people..."

4/20/2015

Homeowners in Mounds View, Minnesota decided to update their ONLY bathroom. They suddenly found themselves needing a more functional bathroom space for their family of four. With such a small space to work with, there wasn't a lot to be done, but a few small changes gave them the functional space they needed.

We started by installing a pocket door. This created more usable space within the bathroom for hanging towels, moving around with more than one person, and gave it a more open feel.

Next we tackled the peeling vinyl flooring, and installed porcelain tile. Due to the lack of storage space within the shower, we decided to remove the old shower surround, and replace it with a porcelain surround with a recessed shelf.

Next, we installed an IKEA Godmorgon/Odensvik double vanity (the homeowners assembled!). This double vanity was perfect for the space. It is small (39 inches!), but packs a TON of interior storage in the drawers (an entire package of 12 double roll toilet paper - STACKED two high, plus miscellaneous soaps, towels, etc... all in the bottom drawer alone).
