A 130-Square-Foot Bathroom Gets Warm Style With a Reeded Vanity
With a 2-year-old daughter and a baby on the way, this young couple were looking to give their daughter a bathroom she could grow into. They hired designer Kirby Foster Hurd, who used Houzz Pro software to convert a former garage area into a bedroom and a comfortable, accessible bathroom with materials and features that won’t go out of style. In the bathroom, a low-profile tub gives the couple an easy way to bathe their toddler and will provide a stylish spot to soak as their daughter grows. A curbless shower features a handheld sprayer for quick rinses. Meanwhile, a warm wood vanity with reeded front, along with textured wallpaper, creamy white tile in the shower and glamorous light fixtures, creates a style even a future teenager could love.
Excellent jo!b! I really like the vanity.
Beautiful. What are the exact dimensions of the room? Thanks
This is, without a doubt, a stylish pretty bathroom. A guest or much older child or teenager would love it. But I think you will need to bathe your toddler/young child elsewhere for a while. This is not a "low-profile" tub! My standard tub is less than 14" higher than the floor. Easy access for bathing a toddler, who still is not old enough to climb in or out by herself. Free-standing tubs are hard enough for adults to get in and out of. I recommend a grab-bar on the tiled shower wall that faces the tub as a safety and convenience feature. I cannot imagine trying to bathe someone in a free-standing tub.
Also, an excellent overlooked feature is a low drawer under a shorter sink basin cabinet. The re-enforced drawer has a inset platform so that children can step up and easily reach the sink. When child is older, the platform is removed and there is an extra drawer for storage.
