If you have seen or heard Laura give a presentation, you’ve heard her talk about how Mighty House is skillful at finding the sweet spot between budget – aesthetics – and function and that you do not necessarily need a radical change to make a radical shift in how you live, play, and grow in your home. However, as she says, sometimes you do! Here are two examples in a bathroom remodel.The first is a bathroom in Magnolia (pictured below) that already had a great layout for the most part but the finishes were worn out and in some places starting to fail. Certainly there were updates to the layout that *could* have been made, but the function of the space was solid and the cost of moving things around substantial. Not spending money on systems and structure changes gave them flexibility to make the finish choices to modernize their primary bathroom. And we kept the tub – it is huge and would have been painful and expensive to replace, plus it was still in great shape and worked perfectly. To do so, took some finessing of the new fixtures with the old holes, but knowing the right trades partners gave it a seamless finish.
In the realm of “sometimes you do need radical change to make a radical shift” was this bathroom remodel in Madrona (pictured below). The layout was odd, awkward, and not functional. We were able to leave the toilet in the same location (off to the left of the new shower), though the rest really had to shift in order to have substantially more functional – and more lovely – space.
