Mid Mod Remodel

Mid-Century bathrooms are pretty dramatic. They are complicated spaces with bunch needs jammed into a very small footprint. A bathroom has to have storage, work surfaces, multiple plumbing fixtures, a variety of lighting…and it all has to look beautiful. PLUS it has house all of that in a space with fluctuating levels of humidity and temperature changes.
Today I’m pulling back the curtain on how to create a comfortable, healthy, code compliant bathroom without sacrificing the character of your mid-century home.
In today’s episode you’ll hear:
Why you should keep that window in your shower.  
The right way to vent and light your bathroom.  
Which types of lighting every bathroom needs.

Even if you are currently a hale and hearty person with zero mobility issues, planning for universal functionality in your bathroom is a massive win. Anyone can break a bone and age is coming for all of us. 
Unfortunately, when most of us dream about updating a mid-century bathroom, we jump straight to gorgeous tile, sleek lighting, and the ultimate vintage aesthetic. And accessibility or other concerns about aging in place take a backseat…if they make it in at all. 
In today’s episode you’ll hear:
The right time start thinking about accessibility in your bathroom. 
How to design a future-ready bath you love today. 
Simple accessibility upgrades everyone should include in a bath remodel.

Even those of us who are now professional mid-century designers have skeletons in our closets (and in my case, basements). My fellow designer, Aletha Van der Mass of True Home Restorations, and I have both walked the design regret path. 
And now we both spend our time helping others avoid making the same mistakes. 
So today, in the interest of community (and laughter through tears) we are both sharing our shameful home renovation stories.
