Alvarado Remodel Kids Bath Reveal

When it comes to making a house feel like home, it’s all about the details. This project began with a new build bathroom that, while functional, lacked the personal touches that make a space special. With a growing family, our clients wanted this kids bathroom to blend with the rest of the home updates while also being practical for years to come. Here’s how we transformed their space from builder-grade to a custom bathroom full of character—and how you can find inspiration for your own remodel!

Understanding the Vision

Our clients loved their home but felt the bathroom was missing something. Timeless, elevated, and organic were the goals we were going after. Specifically, key factors we considered were:

• Character and charm to break away from the cookie-cutter look.

• A functional layout that could grow with their family.

• Durable materials that could handle daily life without sacrificing style.

Now let’s get into how we did it.

The Process: From Start to Finish

1. Demo Day

We started by removing the existing fiberglass tub and surround. With a clean slate, we could start fresh with thoughtful framing and layout adjustments.

2. Framing and Waterproofing

To add character, we framed out a shower ledge for extra storage and visual interest. Proper waterproofing was a critical next step to ensure a durable foundation for the tile work to come.

3. Tile Selection and Installation

The star of the show was the tile. Our clients chose a mix of textures to add depth, with a neutral palette to keep things timeless. The shower walls featured hand made square tiles for an organic look, while checkered tiles brought charm to the floor.

4. Custom Marble Shelf

A custom marble shower shelf added elegance while providing a practical storage solution. This detail brought the space to life, balancing form and function perfectly.

5. Fixtures and Final Touches

To complete the look, we installed gold fixtures for a warm feel and layered in soft lighting. Every element was chosen to align with the family’s desire for character, warmth, and durability.

The Final Reveal

The finished bathroom is everything the family hoped for and more. It now feels custom, cozy, and ready to handle the demands of a growing household. They gained:

• A design that is both timeless and fun that will stay stylish for years to come.

• Family-friendly functionality with plenty of storage and durable finishes.

• A space that feels cohesive with the rest of the home.

Tips for Your Own Bathroom Remodel

If you’re planning a bathroom remodel, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

1. Prioritize Functionality: Think about how you’ll use the space now and in the future. Storage and layout are key!

2. Add Texture: Layering textures, like combining different tile styles, can create a high-end look without feeling overdone.

3. Invest in Quality Materials: Bathrooms see a lot of daily use, so choosing durable materials is worth it.

4. Think Long-Term: Will you love it 5 years down the road?

5. Work with Professionals: Having a team that understands your vision and can execute it properly is what sets your project up for success.

This project was a reminder of how important it is to make your home yours. Whether you’re updating a builder-grade bathroom or completely reimagining your space, the right design makes all the difference.
