Bathroom Renovation Challenge: Modernizing a Vintage Winthrop Space for Aging in Place

While the original layout had good bones, the dated color scheme and fixtures made the space feel cramped and uninviting. More importantly, one of the homeowners had limited mobility issues, making the existing bathtub both impractical and potentially hazardous. Storage was also at a premium, requiring creative solutions to maximize the available space.

Our Solution

Taking inspiration from the home's proximity to the ocean, we developed a design that not only addressed functionality concerns but also created a serene, coastal atmosphere. Here's what we accomplished:

Accessible Shower Installation

  • Replaced the outdated tub with a modern walk-in shower
  • Added a custom-tiled corner seat for comfort and safety
  • Installed premium glass shower doors with easy-glide technology
  • Incorporated grab bars that blend seamlessly with the design


Custom Storage Solutions

  • Designed and built a completely custom vanity to maximize storage
  • Created a tailored drawer configuration for optimal organization
  • Integrated the vanity seamlessly into the room's dimensions


Aesthetic Upgrades

  • Selected a cool-toned color palette reflecting the coastal location
  • Installed sophisticated shower tiles that complement the space
  • Added luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring for durability and style
  • Chose modern fixtures and accessories that tie the design together


The Result The transformation is remarkable. What was once a cramped, outdated bathroom is now an accessible, sophisticated space that feels significantly larger and more inviting. The cool color palette and modern fixtures create a cohesive design that pays subtle homage to the home's oceanside location, while the custom storage solutions ensure everything has its place.
