This bathroom required a full gut, down to studs. The soffit that was asked to remove presented a problem as soon as we cracked open the dry wall. There was a structural beam holding up roof rafters. We pivoted and decided to skin the structural beam with white oak to match the faux beams we installed in the master bedroom. Next we came up with the idea to install white oak shelves in the shower’s niche to add a level of design cohesiveness for this elegant bathroom.
