Bathrooms, one home
Two bathrooms in Dr. Phillips, reimagined.
A guest bath that lost its drop ceiling and its tub, a second bath in a warmer palette, and the details Mike points out on film: mitered niches, a floating French oak vanity and frameless glass.

The Walkthrough
Walk both bathrooms with Mike.
Under five minutes, start to finish: the soffits that came down, the tub that became a shower, the niches, the valves and the vanity, explained by the owner who oversaw the work. Tap the tile to play.

From an eighties bathroom to a Spanish-style one.
Mike filmed this while the laundry room was still under construction, so you see both bathrooms just as they were finished: the green guest bath first, then the tan second bath that shares its layout and its tile.

What We Did
One plan, two bathrooms, every detail in writing.
Both rooms follow the same plan: the same layout, the same tile in two colors and the same fixtures, so the house reads as one design. As Mike puts it in the film, they liked the layout and they liked the tile, so the second bath simply changed the color.
- Removed the soffit boxes, a drop ceiling of about seven feet along the vanity wall and over the shower, so the guest bath no longer feels small
- Tub-to-shower conversion with a frameless glass door, in a home with no children that wanted an elegant guest bath
- Smaller-profile wall tile in two colors: pale green in the guest bath, warm tan in the second bath
- Recessed niches with epoxy-mitered edges and an accent tile at the back
- Delta valves, trim and shower heads; Kohler Highline toilets at 1.28 gallons per flush
- Floating Hallmark vanity in three-quarter-inch French oak with dovetailed, soft-close drawers and doors
- Folded, epoxy-mitered quartz countertops with undermount Kohler sinks, Delta faucets, mirrors and paired sconces
- A window inside the second shower, finished with a matching quartz sill

Details That Matter
Four things Mike stops to explain.
Paraphrased from the film. These are the decisions that separate a bathroom that photographs well from one that lives well.
01
The ceiling came down
Before, soffit boxes dropped the ceiling to about seven feet along the vanity wall and over the shower, and the guest bath felt smaller than it was. Taking them out was the first decision. The room now reads at its full height without moving a single wall.
02
A vanity that floats
The guest bath vanity is Hallmark cabinetry in three-quarter-inch French oak, a line Posada carries as a dealer in Central Florida. The drawers are dovetailed with the rails mounted underneath, so no metal shows at the sides, and every drawer and door closes softly. It floats off the floor, which keeps the cabinet out of harm’s way if water ever gets loose.
03
Mitered edges, everywhere
The quartz countertops are folded into a three-inch edge with an epoxy miter, so each top reads as one thick piece of stone. The shower niches are finished the same way, with an epoxy-mitered edge and an accent tile at the back. In the second bath the niche is smaller because the wall allowed less room, so the quartz window sill doubles as a shelf.
04
Same plan, second color
The second bathroom keeps the layout and the tile of the first in a warmer tan, with the same frameless glass, Delta valve and trim, Kohler Highline toilet and undermount Kohler sink. The shower is a little deeper and the shower head has adjustable spray settings. Everything inside the enclosure is fully waterproofed and backed by a lifetime warranty on the waterproofing system.
