Being built in the mid-40s, this house's bathroom was in need of some much-deserved TLC. The bathroom was in need of the most work. I started with removing the old flooring and removing the old, and loose plaster from the bottoms of the walls.

Once the old sub flooring was replaced with fresh plywood, I prepped the floor with concrete backer and a waterproof membrane. New paint on repaired walls will help the final piece of the bathroom come together. I also raised the level of the toilet flange to account for the backer board and the new tile flooring.

The finished product turned out even better than the customer (and I) imagined. To keep the spirit of the era the house was built in, the customer opted for a floor that represented the Art Deco style, and the end result is stunning. In the end, we:
- demolished and removed the old sub flooring
- replaced the old sub flooring with new plywood
- repaired the walls
- applied waterproof membrane to the new backer board
- Installed flange extender to raise flange height
- Installed 1x1 tile to recreate Art Deco style
- Installed base boards to match the rounded walls of the existing house
In the end, both the customer and I are excited about how this project turned out.

The space was insulated with spray insulation, which works as a great form of insulation, but can be challenging to properly prepare all wall and ceiling surfaces for drywall. A substantial amount of time went into trimming, and removal of areas of insulation so flat planes could be realized.

To complete the client's vision, we ultimately did the following to successfully transform the space:

Once we pulled the existing fixtures out of the kitchen, we had to ensure that the new cabinets and bases lined up with the areas where the tile was cut to accommodate cabinets that were once there. The existing outlets, switches, and plumbing also needed attention.
