after: Greenberg reconfigured the layout, taking over the sink and part of the tub to create a new walk-in shower and moving the sink across the room. With no space for a dresser, she chose a vanity that offered generous storage. The updated plan allowed for a spacious shower room with a wide opening that could accommodate a walker.
Everything about a new shower makes life easier. That’s it zero thresholdwithout curbs to cross, i barn style glass doors glides smoothly on the track. “It also has a large, easy-to-pull handle for arthritic hands,” says Greenberg. A towel bar on the door keeps things close at hand.
The wife chose a botanical wallpaper which is linked to motifs inspired by the nature of the craft age. The tile design also stays true to the period. “My clients wanted a traditional 3-by-5-inch subway tile, but we had to search quite a bit for the right cap. This one isn’t too bulky and has a profile that they liked,” says Greenberg.
Characteristics of the floor matt white hexagonal tiles for maximum traction. “All the original bathroom floors in the house are white heck with black accents, and we’ve continued that pattern here,” Greenberg says. Pencil thin black tile around the room ties it all together. Many grout lines add slip resistance—another thoughtful aging-in-place feature.
Keeping bathrooms warm during Massachusetts winters was a key priority. The team repaired the original radiatorgiving it a fresh look while retaining its powerful heat power. “That radiator pumps out a lot of heat, and they love it,” Greenberg says.
The bathroom also includes a ceiling light-fan-heater combinationa feature the homeowners appreciated in the original room. To make the space more energy efficient, Greenberg’s team clad exterior wall for additional insulation and replaced the old window with a historically appropriate one reproduction.
