Uptown Bathroom Remodel
Uptown Chicago is getting a major bathroom glow-up, and it's nothing short of incredible. We're talking two stunning spaces – a powder room that defines "statement piece" and a primary bathroom that's a full-on luxury retreat.
Powder Room: A Marble Masterpiece
The powder room said goodbye to its builder-grade past and embraced a whole new level of sophistication. The existing vanity and floor were ripped out, paving the way for a showstopping centerpiece. Forget pre-fab – this is bespoke luxury. A stunning piece of marble was handpicked and Metro Design Build collaborated with fabricators to map out the veining for maximum impact. The result? A seamless sink, vanity, and shelf carved from a single slab. It's a work of art that instantly elevates the space. Two hand-blown glass pendant lights cast a warm glow, adding a touch of elegance, while a Frank Lloyd Wright faucet by Brizo injects a touch of architectural pedigree. Even the light switches and outlets get a sleek upgrade with steel options from Forbes & Lomax. This powder room proves that thoughtful details, from high-end materials to statement lighting, can transform even the smallest space.
Primary Bathroom: Spa Sanctuary in the City
The primary bathroom went from basic to breathtaking with a full gut job. The ceiling was raised two whole feet, creating a more spacious feel. An old built-in closet was sacrificed for a modern linen cabinet, maximizing storage and functionality. A floating vanity made of stained white oak adds a touch of warmth, while recessed medicine cabinets provide additional storage. Accent lighting under the cabinets illuminates the floor, adding a touch of modern luxury. The porcelain tile floor adds a clean, sophisticated base, while the backsplash uses a unique wood-look textured tile by Porcelanosa, which continues into the shower.
Speaking of the shower, this is where the spa vibes truly kick in. It's a steam shower, complete with multiple shower heads (including a rainfall head and a handheld) for a truly immersive experience. The steam feature creates a relaxing, spa-like environment, perfect for unwinding after a long day. A linear tile-in drain adds a sleek, minimalist touch, while a bumped-out ledge in the wall provides storage without sacrificing aesthetics. A fog-free mirror and a built-in bench complete the picture, making this shower the ultimate relaxation station.
The entire bathroom is outfitted with fixtures and faucets from the Frank Lloyd Wright collection by Brizo, and textured rain glass lighting fixtures by Hubbardton Forge add a touch of modern elegance.
This bathroom remodel resulted in a luxurious and functional space. It's a testament to the power of thoughtful design, high-quality materials, and a commitment to creating a spa-like experience in your own home.
