Shower Swap and Fresh Flooring in Montpelier

Here's what we were working with - a dated bathroom with a tub-shower combo, worn hardwood flooring, and a layout that just felt heavy and outdated. Nothing was broken, but nothing felt great either. The homeowner wanted something cleaner, easier to maintain, and actually enjoyable to use every day.

We pulled out the old tub unit and replaced it with a fresh walk-in shower. The new surround is all white with built-in corner shelving on both sides - no more wire racks or suction-cup organizers falling off the wall. The matte black fixtures tie the whole thing together and give it a more current, intentional look without going overboard.

The flooring was a big part of this too. We replaced the old hardwood with new luxury vinyl plank throughout the bathroom. It runs clean and consistent right up to the shower threshold, and it holds up far better in a wet environment than wood ever will. Easier to clean, more durable, and it looks sharp next to the warm wood trim.

Small updates like this tend to have a bigger impact than people expect. You're not gutting the entire room - you're making targeted changes that fix the things that actually bother you. A shower that's easier to clean. A floor that doesn't show wear. Fixtures that feel like they were chosen on purpose.

That's what bathroom remodeling should look like. Not always a full gut job - sometimes it's just the right changes in the right places.
