Organic Bathroom

This is what happens when you combine open-minded homeowners, talented craftsmen, and a shared vision for creating something truly special.

When we first walked into this North Andover master bathroom, nearly every surface was covered in mustard-colored mosaic tile—a distinctly 1970s look that was ready for a complete transformation.

The original layout included two entrances and a full-height wall beside the vanity. To create greater privacy and improve functionality, we eliminated one entrance and converted the space into an open shelving closet for towels, laundry, and toiletries. This required rotating the toilet 90 degrees, but the additional storage and improved layout made it well worth it.

Removing the wall beside the vanity opened up the room, while a barn door leading to the bedroom added both privacy and character without closing off the space.

The shower features aged-look 3x6 subway tile and a custom hardwood bench. Custom details continue throughout the room, including the mirror, linen closet shelving, and a substantial custom concrete countertop with a 9-inch backsplash and wall-mounted single-lever faucets. The concrete brings an organic, textural element to the knotty alder and black walnut vanity, while a built-in towel holder on the side of the countertop adds a thoughtful functional detail.

The result is a warm, sophisticated master bathroom that feels completely transformed from its 1970s beginnings. We couldn’t be happier with how this North Andover project came together and are grateful to everyone who brought the vision to life.
