These young parents of three kids loved the location of their Queen Creek, Arizona, home. Its aesthetics? Not so much. The basic colors and finishes — beige floor tile, standard brown cabinets, plain gray walls — didn’t fit the lively look they had in mind.
They hired designer Shelbie Plautz and remodeling firm The Contractor Guys to refresh the home. For the primary bathroom, the team worked on loosening up the layout to create a light look and more elbow room. Stealing space from a primary closet helped them expand the shower footprint. Removing a built-in tub and arched wall and replacing it with a freestanding model provided an airy feel. For style, the homeowners and remodeling team created an energetic look with Southwest details such as a custom walnut vanity with a raised geometric profile, patterned wall tile and terra-cotta hexagonal floor tiles.
