A Williamsburg Bath and Powder Room Refresh

The steel beam beneath the powder room turned out to be the only major surprise. Otherwise, the renovation moved along smoothly, and Felix and Nova were out of the apartment for just under two months. Alan’s team contained the work area to help keep dust away from the rest of the loft, and Felix appreciated that they kept the space tidy throughout the project.

During construction, Felix stopped by the site daily to check in and answer questions. By then, though, Alan had a strong sense of what she wanted.

“But pretty much Alan knew what I wanted,” Felix explained. After nearly a year of talking through the project, that was probably no surprise.

Once Felix and Nova moved back in, the updates quickly became part of daily life. The stacked washer/dryer was a “life changer,” and the new entryway closet finally gave them room for coats, the vacuum, and the odds and ends that never had a proper place before.

The baths feel calm and spa-like, with plenty of storage and a simple, unfussy look. Felix loves the finished space, though she does have one small regret. She wishes the medicine cabinet in the full bath had been hung a bit higher, so the doors would not knock over bottles on the back ledge of the sink.

Still, for a first-time renovator, Felix found the process “surprisingly easy.”

Thanks to Felix and Nova for sharing their home. We’re so glad they finally went for it!
