Ensuite Bathroom Remodel | Lake Stevens, WA

Homeowner Needs

Tired of feeling embarrassed by their outdated ensuite guest bathroom, these homeowners were eager to bring it up to the level of the rest of their beautifully updated home. The space felt cramped, uninspired, and far from guest-ready—making it a top priority before hosting out-of-town family and friends.

Remodeling Solution

This bathroom underwent a dramatic transformation, starting with a completely reimagined shower. The old insert was replaced with a sleek shower pan and floor-to-ceiling tile, complete with a triangle bench and built-in shampoo niche. For added convenience, the plumbing valve was relocated to the wall opposite the showerhead—making it easy to turn on the water before stepping in through the outswing glass door.

Out went the dated vanity and counter-style shelf above the toilet, replaced by a stunning custom walnut vanity topped with MSI Quartz in Calico White. To combine beauty with function, the vanity features both cabinet doors and a lower drawer—adorned with brushed satin nickel hardware from Top Knobs’ Eden and Kara collections. The result is a refreshed, highly functional space with timeless appeal.

Result

Once a space to hide, this ensuite bathroom is now a serene retreat. With its updated features and calming design, it invites both family and guests to enjoy it—not avoid it. What was once outdated and ignored is now a beautiful, tranquil part of the home.
