The Lakewood bath transformation

The Challenge: Transform an outdated master bath into an oasis of tranquility.

The Location: Standard single-family home in Lakewood, CA (aka real people living real lives)

The Mission: Create a master bathroom that adheres to inevitable aging without compromising aesthetic or efficiency.

The Solution: I ditched the builder-grade blah for a natural, calm color palette with traditional boho vibes. Think spa meets "I can actually afford this."

The Result: An ensuite that feels new and revitalizing instead of dark and outdated. Now, morning showers won’t feel like a lull in the morning.

What Made It Work:

• Fixtures that look expensive but won't break the bank

• A color palette that looks great but feels better

• A new layout for efficiency

• Design details that feel custom, not cookie-cutter

This bathroom proves you don't need a mansion-sized budget to create a space that makes you feel like you're living your best life—even at 6 AM on a Tuesday.
