Transforming a Master Bathroom: A Stunning Overhaul by McDrake Remodeling

March 18th, 2025

Andrea Picardi, Marketing Director

From Outdated to Outstanding

When our clients approached McDrake Remodeling for their master bathroom renovation, they had one goal in mind: to create a luxurious, functional, and modern space that maximized comfort and style. Their existing bathroom featured an outdated tiled, jetted bathtub, a cramped stand-up shower, and a disconnected powder room that limited space and flow.

Our expert design team collaborated closely with our clients, carefully listening to their needs and desires. We then crafted a stunning rendering to bring their vision to life, showcasing the full potential of their new space.

The Vision

By removing non-load-bearing walls and reimagining the layout, our expert design team developed a plan to completely transform the space. The result? A spacious, spa-like retreat featuring a luxury walk-in shower, custom vanities, and elegant finishes that blend beauty and practicality.

The Demo Phase: Clearing the Way for Transformation

To create the open and inviting space our clients envisioned, our team began by removing the old jetted bathtub, outdated vanity, and existing stand-up shower. The removal of two non-load-bearing walls—one between the bathtub and shower and another separating the original bathroom from the powder room—was a game-changer.

Once the demo was complete, we installed new plumbing and electrical work, ensuring everything was modernized and up to code before moving into the rebuild phase

This structural adjustment allowed us to:

1) Expand the bathroom footprint.

2. Create space for a double vanity with custom linen storage

3. Design a luxurious walk-on shower with dual rain-style showerheads and a hand shower

The Stunning Walk-In Shower

The centerpiece of this master bathroom remodel is the spacious walk-in shower, designed with ultimate relaxation in mind. The shower features:

Porcelain wall tiles by Florida Tile in Honesty/Polished with Silver grout, offering a sleek and timeless look.
An accent wall in Anatolia Tile’s Cement Gray Hex shape, adding depth and modern style.
A built-in bench, providing a spa-like experience and practical comfort.

A semi-frameless Unidoor hinged shower door and panels by Dreamline, enhancing the open, airy feel.
Signature Hardware’s Grayfield Collection shower fixtures, ensuring both style and functionality with dual rain-style showerheads and a handheld shower.

Custom Vanity & Storage Solutions

The remodel incorporated a brand-new double vanity, perfectly blending elegance and efficiency:

Custom-built cabinetry with a double sink now stands where the powder room once was, offering ample space for daily routines.
Linen storage cabinetry and new hardware bring convenience and organization, eliminating clutter.
A fresh entry door installation, adding a polished final touch to the master bath’s new design.

L&C Cabinets in Shaker Gray: Taking Storage to New Heights

Storage is a key factor in any bathroom remodel, and we made sure our clients had plenty of it with L&C Cabinetry cabinets in Shaker Gray. These custom cabinets not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the space but also provide ample storage for towels, toiletries, and everyday essentials. Designed for both function and style, these cabinets take storage to new heights, ensuring a clean, clutter-free environment..

Flooring & Finishing Touches

To tie the entire space together, we installed Eastern Flooring Products’ “Bingham” luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring. Known for its durability and water resistance, this flooring provides both warmth and practicality, ensuring long-lasting beauty.
