Modernizing an all original 1962 'Brady Bunch' house was a lot of work. A LOT. I wanted it to still express the
mid-century modern style, but with an industrial twist. We are ecstatic with the results so far, and will continue posting as we tackle each room.

MASTER BATH

• Enlarged the master bath by taking space from the hallway closet and the adjoining bedroom.

 

• Moved the shower to where the room has a higher ceiling. (sloped roof)

 

• Added a skylight.

​

• Used a concrete look large format tile for shower surround & backsplash wall.
