The Princess Master Bathroom, Arlington, VA

The existing Master Bathroom, possibly remodeled in the 90’s, was having a leak from the shower into the dining room’s ceiling. After some inspection we determined that the leak was coming from the shower floor.

At Panther, we highly discourage and choose not to “fix” a shower floor as this opens a wide possibility for future leaks and it would become a waste of money and time to the client and a liability to the company. With that in mind, the client was made aware and suggested to remodel the entire shower itself at the very least. Showers stalls are the most expensive part of a bathroom remodel. Our client was somewhat inclined to remodel the whole bathroom and with that information she decided to go for a full transformation.

She’s a huge fan of pink and I was delighted to be part of this come back trend of “Mamie Pink” bathroom – popularized by First Lady Mamie Eisenhower. It is said that approximately 5 million of the 20 million new homes built between mid-40’s into mid 60’s had cotton candy pink bathrooms.  

This master bathroom, however pink, has its modern flair with an upscale multi-function shower fixture, subway glass tiles, a stand-alone bathtub, a large shower bench, a larger shower footage, an exhaust fan with heater and LED lights, as opposed to heated flooring, new pendant lights and new slim fit recessed lights to complete the look.

The existing double vanity was reused and wrapped with white quartz and the hardware, faucets and drain was replaced.

We nicknamed it “The Princess Bathroom”. Gorgeous and classy.
