Vintage Bathroom Reno Celebrates One-Year Anniversary
Kate Spiers celebrated the one-year anniversary of her fun, bright, vintage-style bathroom renovation, calling it her favorite room in the house and featuring a custom vanity built by her partner. Bathroom Pros NJ highlighted a modern remodel that can be completed in as little as one day, showcasing before-and-after footage of the low-maintenance transformation.
- One-day bathroom remodels typically focus on surface-level upgrades such as replacing tubs, showers, and wall surrounds without altering the room's layout or plumbing locations. The speed is achieved by custom-manufacturing materials like acrylic wall panels off-site based on precise measurements taken weeks in advance. - Bathroom Pros NJ is a Toms River-based company that serves central, north, and south New Jersey, as well as Bucks County, Pennsylvania. It specializes in tub-to-shower conversions and installing American-made acrylic walk-in tubs, with a focus on accessibility for seniors and individuals with mobility issues. - Before her current yellow-and-white checkered bathroom, Kate Spiers designed an iconic pink bathroom in her former home, a Victorian tenement flat in Scotland. That renovation was a significant challenge, requiring a creative layout solution to fit both a separate bathtub and a shower into a narrow, galley-style space. - For her latest vintage-style bathroom, Spiers used yellow tiles for a "sunny hit of colour," clover-print wallpaper, and marble surrounds to complement the traditional fixtures. - The trend of mixing vintage and modern styles is popular in 2024 bathroom design, often involving the use of antique-inspired hardware, clawfoot tubs, and classic materials like marble alongside contemporary elements. - A key difference in cost and time comes from the scope of work; a "renovation" that refreshes surfaces can cost between $8,000 and $20,000, while a "remodel" that changes the layout can range from $25,000 to over $50,000.
