Avondale Estates Bathroom

Project Overview
When this family in Avondale Estates approached Blue Juniper Construction, they wanted to transform an outdated primary bathroom into a modern spa‐like space. The existing layout was cramped, storage was minimal, and fixtures were dated. Their goals: clean lines, more storage, better lighting, modern finishes, and a relaxing atmosphere.

Case Study - Details

Challenges

The original plumbing placement limited repositioning of the tub and shower without major structural work.
The room was modest in size, so maximizing space while maintaining luxury was key.
The clients preferred a modern aesthetic, but needed durability and ease of maintenance for everyday use.

Design & Material Choices

A grey double vanity with matching tower was chosen to add storage without overwhelming the room; the grey finish ties into modern style while hiding wear.
Matte black fixtures were selected for visual contrast and durability.
White quartz countertops deliver a clean, bright look and resist staining.
A drop‐in tub with a Roman faucet was included for comfort, and a marble shower niche provides both function (shelf space) and style.
Custom glass shower enclosure keeps the space feeling open and allows the beauty of the tile and niche to be showcased.

Process & Timeline

Design and material selection: approx. 2–3 weeks (client consultations, fixture sourcing).
Deconstruction, plumbing adjustments, and rough‐in: ~1 week.
Tile work, fixture installation, glass enclosure and finishes: ~2½ weeks.
Total timeline: about 5-6 weeks from start to finish.

Outcome & Client Feedback

The remodel achieved the client’s goals: the space feels larger, brighter, and far more functional.
Storage has increased significantly thanks to the double vanity + tower combo.
The clean, modern aesthetic with matte black accents gets compliments for sophistication.
Maintenance is easier—the quartz surface resists staining, and fewer grout lines in the shower make cleaning simpler.

Key Lessons / Takeaways

In bathrooms, matching cabinets or towers to the vanity helps avoid visual clutter.
Contrasting fixtures (like matte black) can make a strong style statement with minimal risk when combined with neutral surfaces.
Investing in quality glass enclosures and materials upfront pays off in durability and aesthetics.
