Project: Turn a master bath into a guest bathroom in Murray Hill, Manhattan

Before: With a baby on the way, owners Jeanne and Philip needed to convert their 1,000-square-foot apartment from a 1-bedroom into a proper 2-bedroom, 2-bath. What had been the master bathroom would be transformed into a guest bath. Previous owners had repurposed an adjoining closet as a large walk-in shower, but the remodel would reduce the footprint of both the bathroom and shower.

After: The Sweeten design and build teams took care of architectural documents for the co-op board and expedited city permits. The family’s goal was to turn the guest bath into an ADA-compliant space that was needed in the apartment. During demolition, however, they realized an existing step-up was necessary, for the sake of the underlying drain lines, so this room would not be able to function in such a capacity. An ADA-compliant space follows a federal guideline to provide greater access to people with limited mobility. (They enlarged the other bathroom instead.)

Dark grey floor tile disguises the step, one of three tile styles used. “I asked the designer to come up with different looks, then mixed and matched,” Jeanne says. “We wanted to be a bit more forward and get funkier,” she adds, so the clear blue subway tile is a design statement. In the shower, herringbone mosaic floor tile allows water to drain while improving slip-resistance thanks to its many grout joints.

Bonus: A new wall-hung toilet takes less floor space than a traditional toilet would.

Style finds: Kohler toilet; Fresca vanity; Grohe sink faucet; Robern medicine cabinet; toilet paper holder and a hand towel hook from Ginger; subway tile and herringbone mosaic from Nemo Tile; Daltile flooring; rain shower and hand-held system from Hansgrohe.

The color, shape and pattern of tile is a key player to a space’s personality. Take a look at Mollie’s shower wall which spotlights a bold chevron design.

Today I’m sharing how to install tile flush with hardwood floors, like I did in my bathroom.  Can you believe the Jack and Jill bathroom finally has floors?  I’m making slow but steady progress.  The vanity area of the bathroom has a combination of hardwood and tile.  The room that contains the shower and toilet is all tile but it butts up to the wood in the other room.   Install Tile Flush with Hardwood Floors" /> I wanted the tile to be flush with the hardwood floors so I installed the tile on LATICRETE STRATA_MAT™ XT   .    It helps create an even transition between typical ¼” to 3/8″ thick tile and 3/4″thick hardwood flooring.  The STRATA_MAT XT replaces 1/4″ thick cement board — it’s much lighter, easier to cut and installs with just mortar (no screws required). install tile flush with hardwood floor" /> Installing STRATA_MAT XT I cut a piece of STRATA_MAT XT to fit in the powder room.  Then I test fit that piece and cut out the vent and toilet drain hole .  I

Many of us have dreamed of designing and building our own truck camper.  One moment you’re sitting in your dinette looking at the kitchen thinking, “Why didn’t they put another cabinet right there?” and the next you’re drawing a truck camper floor plan on a napkin.  We have certainly inked a few ideas this way over the years.  Then the reality the of cost and time involved in such an endeavor hit us.  If truck campers could be built in Photoshop, we would make the world’s greatest truck camper .  Until then, we’re probably just dreaming.
