A Lakeshore bath: from pink tile to a walk-in shower

The bathroom off Lakeshore Drive still had its 1962 tile: pink walls, maroon trim, a tub nobody had used in years. The Pitres wanted a shower they could walk straight into.

We took the tub out, dropped the floor to set the shower without a curb, and tiled floor to ceiling in a soft grey. A white-oak vanity hangs off the wall so the floor runs under it, and the niche is sized for the bottles they actually own.

Three weeks from the first hammer to the last walk-through. Tyrell texted them every morning with the day's plan.
