HILLHOUSE PROJECT PORCHLIGHT

Bathrooms

Bathrooms are an important part of our daily life and routines. Why not make them nice and appealing? From half, three quarters to full and small to large, bathrooms can be a place we enjoy going to.

Powder Room Remodel

Updating a powder room (half bath) up to a full bath can be taken on as a DIY project. It can be purely cosmetic such as paint and finishes or more complex involving new fixtures such as toilets and sinks with vanities.

For our first project we are going to upgrade a powder room including the fixtures and finishes totally updating the look and feel of the room.

If your powder room feels stuck in a different decade, it’s time for a refresh. A simple update with new paint and a mirror can work wonders, or you can go further by replacing the toilet and sink, adding new flooring, or installing wainscoting for extra charm. There’s so much potential in this small space! Follow along as we share our Hillhouse Project—you might just find the perfect idea for your own powder room makeover. Ready to get started?

Tub to Shower Transformation

Next, we are going to transform another bathroom by removing the bathtub and creating a tiled walk in shower with a sliding glass door. It is so much more functional! We also changed the sink and toilet and upgrade the flooring and walls.

To finish it off, new paint, the addition of wainscoting and new lighting and accessories creating an inviting space for all. See it done here:

Creating a Bathroom from Scratch

The largest bathroom project that we have tackled thus far is creating a bathroom from scratch on the second floor in an unused space with no plumbing what so ever and very limited electric.

We transform the space into a roomy bathroom with a sizable walk in shower with a bench, a double vanity, heated floors and we even had space for an upstairs laundry. What a luxury!

Join us as we explore Creating a Bathroom from scratch, a big project that can be partially DIY to save on labor costs. We’ll cover the benefits of adding a bathroom and guide you through the entire process—from space planning and layout to plumbing, electrical, surface choices, fixtures, and finishing touches. You’ll have the freedom to customize every detail to match your vision, placing everything exactly where you want it. Throughout the journey, we’ll discuss key decisions and the excitement of seeing the finished project come to life.

Don’t be afraid of tackling a bathroom. It is so gratifying after it is done. I won’t lie, there maybe some headaches along the way, but well worth it! Check it out here:
