the bathroom reveal! that 3 month renovation was the longest year of my life..! 💀
it all started a year-ish ago with a few stories about how we were going to be finishing the lower unit in our fixer-upper house. a few quick sheets of drywall, we thought…
[one year later, that was a funny thought]
my pal kate at
@concretecollaborative DM’d me and said they had a new line of tile coming in, and it quickly became the inspo and direction for this new bathroom. i can’t get enough!
my former interior design business partner and bestie
@citysage responded to about 18,000 of my texts and freak outs and weighed in on lots of decisions.. so very helpful, especially when i was 36 weeks pregnant and losing my logical mind completely 😬
and, here we are! the first ‘tenant’ of the new apt is martin’s mom, and so the design also considered the needs of an elder as she ages in the space… a hand-held shower head, an ADA compliant toilet, no bathtub with a high ledge to step over. we may add grab bars, depending on needs, but my death doula/aging in place skills came into play with some of the design logistics.
now i like this bathroom more than our own..! 🥲 but it might take me a year or two to regroup before i have the stamina for more construction… xx
