BathroomsBeforeThe existing bathroom was large, with a walk-in shower and a built-in bathtub, shown below, but the style was dated and the entire space felt dark and dingy.

AfterIn the course of a whole-house gut remodel, designer Kate Ellington of Martha O’Hara Interiors of Minneapolis gave the master bath a Scandinavia-inspired update. The elegant new space is a vision in white marble, with a custom shower, a freestanding tub, and twin walnut vanities (not shown). “The simpler style fits the mid-century architecture really well,” Ellington says.
