Project # 2: Powder Room Addition

Challenge: After purchasing the house in 2013, the homeowners decided to add a much needed powder room to their main floor.  After consulting with an architect, they decided to repurpose a former side entrance to the house, which had been converted into a closet beneath the first floor staircase by the previous owner. Most importantly, the homeowner’s primary goal was to design the bathroom to look as though it was original. 

Solution: The homeowner identified a local artisan to create a custom-paneled door to match the existing wood paneling; they then converted the closet into a powder room by replacing the existing exterior door with a window, adding fixtures, period lighting, and unique design accents.
