🛁 Project Avery: Turning an Everyday Bathroom into a Personal Retreat
There are few rooms in a home that have a greater impact on your daily routine than the ensuite bathroom.
It’s often the first room you step into in the morning and the last room you visit before bed. Yet for many homeowners, it’s also one of the most overlooked spaces in the house. Over time, builder-grade finishes begin to show their age, layouts become less functional, and what was once a “nice bathroom” starts to feel tired, dated, and frustrating to use.
That was exactly the situation with Project Avery.
While the existing ensuite was functional, it no longer reflected the quality, comfort, or lifestyle these homeowners wanted. The large built-in jacuzzi tub felt bulky and outdated, the shower lacked the space and storage they needed, and the room simply didn’t provide the relaxing experience they were looking for.
Their goal was clear: create a luxurious ensuite that felt like a private retreat while investing in durable, high-quality materials that would stand the test of time.
The result is a space that delivers comfort, functionality, and a sense of everyday luxury.
✨ From Builder-Grade to Custom Luxury
Like many bathrooms built years ago, this ensuite was designed around trends that no longer fit the way people use their spaces today.
The room was completely gutted, allowing us to rebuild everything from the ground up and create a layout that better suited the homeowners’ needs.
This wasn’t simply a cosmetic renovation.
We updated the plumbing both behind the walls and beneath the floor, ensuring the foundation of the bathroom was just as reliable as the beautiful finishes visible on the surface. Plumbing locations were reconfigured to support the new design and maximize the functionality of the space.
By starting fresh, we were able to transform the room into something that feels intentionally designed rather than simply updated.
🛁 A Soaker Tub Worth Slowing Down For
One of the most dramatic changes in the room was replacing the old built-in jacuzzi tub.
While large built-in tubs were once considered a luxury feature, many homeowners today find they consume valuable space without delivering the comfort and aesthetic they’re looking for.
For Project Avery, we removed the oversized built-in tub and replaced it with a beautiful standalone soaker tub.
The difference is immediate.
Not only does the room feel larger and more open, but the freestanding tub creates a focal point that instantly elevates the entire bathroom. It transforms the space from a purely functional room into a place designed for relaxation and unwinding after a long day.
🚿 A Shower Designed for Comfort and Convenience
The shower was another area that received significant attention during the renovation.
We expanded the footprint to create a larger, more comfortable showering experience and incorporated a custom tile design that gives the space a clean, timeless appearance.
One of the standout features is the oversized shower niche, providing plenty of storage for shampoos, soaps, and everyday essentials without cluttering the space with shelves or baskets.
To complete the look, we installed a custom glass sliding shower door that keeps the room feeling bright and open while showcasing the beautiful tile work throughout.
The result is a shower that is as practical as it is impressive.
🔥 Luxury You Feel Every Day
Some upgrades make a statement visually.
Others make a statement every single morning.
Heated flooring falls into the second category.
There’s something incredibly satisfying about stepping onto a warm tile floor on a cold Ontario morning. Beyond comfort, heated floors help create a more consistent temperature throughout the room and contribute to the overall spa-like experience the homeowners envisioned.
It’s one of those features that homeowners often wonder how they ever lived without once they’ve experienced it.
🚰 Premium Fixtures Built to Last
Every plumbing fixture throughout the ensuite was upgraded to high-quality Riobel fixtures.
Known for their durability, performance, and refined design, these fixtures help tie the entire bathroom together while ensuring reliable performance for years to come.
When investing in a bathroom renovation, it’s often the details that make the difference. High-quality fixtures not only look better but also provide a level of craftsmanship and longevity that homeowners appreciate every day.
🪵 Built for Long-Term Durability
Luxury means very little if it doesn’t last.
That’s why every material selected for Project Avery was chosen with longevity in mind.
We used poplar trim throughout the bathroom because of its stability and durability in environments where moisture can be a concern. Combined with proper installation techniques and premium materials, the finished space is designed to look great and perform well for decades.
A fresh coat of paint completed the renovation, giving the room a clean, polished appearance that ties every element together.
✨ The Feeling of Coming Home
The most rewarding part of a renovation isn’t the tile, the fixtures, or even the finished photos.
It’s the feeling homeowners get when they walk into the room for the first time after everything is complete.
For these homeowners, that meant replacing a worn-out builder-grade bathroom with a space that feels calm, luxurious, and uniquely theirs.
No more outdated finishes.
No more cramped shower.
No more bulky tub taking up valuable space.
Instead, they now have a custom ensuite designed around how they actually live—one that provides comfort every morning, relaxation every evening, and confidence that everything behind the walls was built properly.
Project Avery is proof that a bathroom renovation isn’t just about improving a room.
It’s about improving the experience of living in your home.
Thinking About Renovating Your Ensuite?
If your bathroom feels outdated, cramped, or simply doesn’t match the way you live today, a thoughtfully designed renovation can completely transform the space.
Whether you’re looking for more comfort, better functionality, or a little everyday luxury, we’d love to help bring your vision to life.
