Before the renovation, the bathroom in a small home in Eugene, Oregon felt tight and awkward. The layout forced the door to swing into the vanity. The mirror was poorly lit. Storage was almost nonexistent.
After the renovation, nothing about the room got bigger, but everything worked better. The door swing was reversed. A floating vanity replaced the old cabinet. The mirror lighting was repositioned to eliminate shadows. Storage moved upward instead of outward.
The biggest change was not visual. It was how the room felt to use every day.
Good before and after renovations are not about dramatic photos. They are about solving the problems that made the space frustrating in the first place.
That is the difference between a renovation that looks good and one that lasts.
