B AL ANCED BUDGET
Something Borrowed, Something New
Expanding design possibilities in this primary bath while keeping costs down
THE CLIENTS - BOTH CHIROPRACTORS with two young children - came to Laura Chappetto,
principal designer of Chicagoland-based Element Design Network with the intention of remodeling
both the kitchen and primary bath in their home. With a ballpark budget of $30K-$40K, they
decided to focus on the bathroom; their reason, summed up succinctly by the designer: " It was the
most hated room in the house. "
Accounting for that sentiment was the organization of the room and the allotment of functional
spaces. It was a very, very lopsided fl oor plan.
" Th e footprint was large, but misused, " said Chappetto. " Th e shower was ginormous, and there
were two tiny Ikea vanities in the room. "
To pull the bath back into proportion, she sliced about 8 square feet off the existing shower, so
it no longer protruded into the central part of the room. Th en she focused on annexing unfi nished
space from the adjacent nursery. Opening the wall (between the rooms) allowed the designer to try
something new.
" I had never put a bathtub in a tucked-away space, " said Chappetto. " It's usually placed out in the
open. But because there was no great, obvious spot for the fi xture, we created a cozy 'tub cave.' "

ABOVE The splurge of this
project was the mosaic tile in
the shower. Even though it was
mesh-backed, it still required
considerable care and skill to
maintain the fl ow of color and
pattern during installation.
Wary of overwhelming the
space with color, designer
Laura Chappetto specifi ed
Benjamin Moore Night Train for
the tub alcove. Confi ning the
moody hue to this area created
a dramatic impact while
maintaining a brightness in the
rest of the room.
