An updated bathroom with improved storage and a breezier floor plan gives a couple a stylish way to age in place
This Manteca, California, couple built their ranch-style house 35 years ago. After retiring, they had no desire to leave. But a few updates were in order to make the home comfortable for years to come.
For the primary bathroom off the main bedroom, the couple needed more light, improved storage and a more safely accessible shower. They hired designers Wendy Glaister and Stephanie Poulsen and builder Dean Adkins to reimagine the layout and relocate a closet to enlarge the bathroom by 37 square feet. The remodeling team then punched out three new windows and enlarged another to bring in natural light. A new curbless shower with a frameless glass panel gives the couple the easy access they wanted. And a blue vanity and blue accent wall tile in the shower create a soothing style.
