Traditional Farmhouse Baths
— CORVALLIS, OR —
No corner of this house remained untouched in this massive home renovation. The previous primary bedroom was the ideal location for a main floor guest suite and required the fewest overall changes. Relocating the closet gave us the opportunity to move the ensuite bath into its place. To capitalize on the stunning view there, we placed the clawfoot slipper tub directly in front of the new window. The allotted space was only five and a half feet wide, so we had to be very intentional with the layout. By installing two windows on either side of the vanity mirror, the compact space feels noticeably larger and brighter. The full-height black wall tile adds striking drama and contrasts beautifully with the custom walnut vanity.
More about this project
The powder room, converted from the former hall bathroom, was the perfect spot to introduce bolder, more dramatic elements, offering a striking contrast to the soothing neutral tones throughout the rest of the house. The whimsical bird painting, gifted to the homeowner by a dear artist friend, inspired this space, particularly the wall color which was custom matched to the bird’s red crown. Black Marble Hexagon floor tiles offer a luxurious base for the gorgeous brass console sink. The vanity light, chosen for its pineapple shape symbolizing hospitality, was one of the first design selections, aptly reflecting the homeowner’s love for entertaining. Overall, it’s a fun and vibrant space!
Another area we were able to reutilize from the original floorplan was the laundry room, ideally located between the house and the garage. It was an adequate size with a functional layout, though the placement of the steps and doors needed adjustment. We revamped the stairs going into the garage so that the old landing area could be incorporated into the laundry/mudroom. This provided a much more functional thoroughfare from the kitchen to the garage and side porch, added specifically for the homeowner’s grill, as well as direct entry to the mudroom from the orchards. We expanded the shower in this space to create a walk-in, perfect for cleaning up before entering the house and serving as an additional guest bath. The utility sink is commercial and will stand up to heavy use, a very practical selection for this working farm. The countertop, made from the same Quartzite used in the ensuite bathrooms, is not only gorgeous but also easy to clean and provides a convenient space for folding laundry. While being functional and practical, this mudroom is simply lovely!
