Stage 3: Bathroom
In the original layout, an old servant's staircase connected the kitchen to the second floor. Removing it allowed David to increase the square footage of the bathroom – a must since he insisted on two sinks "to keep sibling squabbles to a minimum!" Recessed shelving was added to create clean, open, modern storage. To achieve this look, David also had to redesign and replumb the room, moving the toilet, bath and vanity. Levelling the floors meant ripping up the old flooring, which provided an opportunity to install in-floor radiant heating, a luxurious amenity. "We decided to use the same colour of tile throughout the bathroom, so it would appear more spacious," says David.
