Bathroom Remodeling
This Reston primary bathroom didn’t just need new finishes — it needed a new layout. We removed a wall, relocated the shower and toilet drains, and rebuilt the room around what the family actually wanted: a wide double vanity, a large custom-tiled walk-in shower, and warm, collected finishes that feel more boutique hotel than builder-grade. The palette pairs a rich mocha Fabuwood vanity and brushed gold accents with a deep green vertical-stack accent wall that frames the shower window and turns natural light into a design feature.
Project at a Glance
This Reston primary bathroom didn't just need new finishes — it needed a new layout. We removed a wall, relocated the shower and toilet drains, and rebuilt the room around what the family actually wanted: a wide double vanity, a big custom-tiled walk-in shower, and warm, collected finishes that feel more boutique hotel than builder-grade.
The Design
The palette is warm organic modern. A Fabuwood double vanity in Echo Allure Mocha grounds the room in rich wood, topped with MSI Calacatta Ocellio quartz in a smooth pencil edge. Brushed gold arrives everywhere it counts — arched Maeve mirrors, glass bell sconces, widespread faucets, and satin bronze Jeffrey Alexander hardware — against walls painted Benjamin Moore Cloud Cover.
The showstopper is the shower: floor-to-ceiling Happy Floors Crew Almond porcelain in large 24x48 format, wrapped around a vertical-stacked brick-tile accent wall in deep green that frames the existing window and turns natural light into a design feature. A single fixed panel of frameless glass in brushed bronze keeps the whole composition open.
What We Built
- Layout reconfiguration: removed a non-structural wall, relocated the shower drain and toilet drain, and ran new vanity plumbing — the floor plan serves the room now, not the other way around.
- Custom walk-in shower: cement board and RedGard waterproofing behind every tile, a hand-built shower pan finished in Crew Almond 2x2 mosaic, a 48-inch tiled ledge, Schluter-edged transitions, and a tiled curb to match the walls.
- Double vanity zone: all-plywood Fabuwood cabinetry with soft-close doors and drawers, undermount porcelain sinks, and a quartz top with a 4-inch backsplash.
- Lighting and electrical: new 6-inch LED recessed lights, dedicated vanity light circuits, and tamper-resistant GFCI outlets.
- Finishing: large-format tile floor on cement board underlayment in a half-offset pattern, new white wood baseboards, a new door with fresh framing, and full paint — ceiling, trim, and walls.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you change a bathroom's layout, or only replace what's there?
Both — this project is the proof. As a Class A licensed design-build contractor, we handle wall removal, drain relocation, new plumbing runs, and electrical in-house, so the layout can change as much as the finishes.
How long does a bathroom remodel like this take?
A full gut remodel with layout changes is measured in weeks, not months. Your itemized proposal includes a project schedule, and a dedicated project manager keeps you updated daily.
Where can I see these materials in person?
Fabuwood door samples, MSI quartz, and hundreds of tile options — including large-format porcelain and stacked brick tile like this accent wall — are on display at our Vienna, Herndon, and Alexandria showrooms.
