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.

Congratulations on a nice job at moderate cost. Indeed, as the word renovation indicates: to make new again.
nice job, but when it seems like so much attention was paid to detail, how did your toilet end up being off center?
If I had a bathroom like this, crapping would be so much more meaningful somehow. Instead of being part of the minutiae of everyday life, taking a dump would be more like…well, a date with destiny.
Nice crapper. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah…it’s great.
Wow. Great job and excellent use of the space. You even managed to get shelves in there for the linen!
I’m constantly amazed how brave people are when posting anonymously on this site. One can only assume they’re as brave and tough in person.
Anyhoo, nice bathroom. It’s a job well done. Simple and tasteful. Thanks for sharing!
This one is great, and I love that the homeowners did some of it themselves. The separate toilet space really makes the whole thing work, as well as practical.
Really nice looking work. Any details on where the tile came from would be much appreciated, especially the slate floor tile.
