Bath Reno #6: Modern in Carroll Gardens

Today bathroom reno post comes verbatim from the owner…This bathroom is part of one floor of our place in CG that’s been done in a totally modern/contemporary style. It’s a newly constructed room…there wasn’t a bathroom on this floor previously. We did 60% of the work ourselves and had a talented friend do what we couldn’t (tiling, electric, trim). Everything aside from the faucets/sink were purchased or crafted in Brooklyn. Here’s where sourced everything from:
– Kohler Purist lav faucet/shower & Porcher sink from Davis & Warshaw;
– Frameless shower from RB Wyatt;
– Custom vanity and shelf unit by Laurel Woodworking on 13th street;
– Toto Toilet from Garfield (had a bad experience with them);
– Honed slate countertop from stone place in E. W’burg by the Kosciusko Bridge;
– Heated floor system/thermostat and Alinea lighting ordered online.
All in all, I’d say this was all under $8000.

12:21, I know the type of mind that creates a beautiful bathroom like this one and I am 100% positive the toilet was not intended to be off center. In fact, I bet at some point they lost sleep over this geometric foible.
Owner here. Actually, we wanted the toilet to be centered. That’s it’s off center is just an honest mistake.
Wood good.
11:49, symmetry is not the be-all and end-all of interior design. Maybe they wanted room for the little trash can. Or maybe they liked the yin-yang counterpoint of the off-center toilet under the centered picture. I like it.
The shelves are made of wood.
Shelf good.
I like the shelves.
Pretty…….
As far as I can tell you have a sliding door btw toilet and shower area. We are planning on doing the same thing to our bathroom – in effect creating two bathrooms (since we only have one).
