The designer Jesse Strickler faced a dilemma. He had recently bought a 1000-square-foot 1950s-era home in Tulsa, Oklahoma, that only had one bathroom shared between its three bedrooms. He joined forces with his sister-in-law, Jennifer Strickler, a designer, looking for a bath with an en-suite and shower.

The couple concentrated on an additional bedroom with the appropriate square footage for a spacious bathroom. The bedroom was closed off at the entryway, and then the principal bedroom to link the two rooms. This enabled them to design an airy, light-filled layout in the old bedroom with a glass-enclosed corner shower with a low curb, a freestanding tub, and a double vanity with plenty of room to breathe within 145 square feet. Black and white tiles and fixtures with brushed nickel finishes provide a traditional touch, and the hunter-green vanity and brass accents add a modern look.

Before: the previously used bedroom provided an essential space; two windows ensured the room had enough sunlight. Jennifer Strickler Design LLC After, The designers walled off the entryway to the former bedroom and created a new entry from Jesse’s main bedroom to the newly designed bathroom. The home is constructed over an unfinished crawl space, so updating the electrical system and routing the plumbing was pretty straightforward.

The huge low-curb shower is located in an area between windows. It has an enclosure made of frameless glass that makes the most of the sunlight. The tub is beneath one window, and the vanity is on the wall to the left. The toilet is situated in an alcove about where this photograph was taken. (See floor plan below.) An additional exhaust fan in the ceiling between the tub and shower ensures that moisture levels are in check.

Excellent taupe paint on the ceiling and walls (Heron Plume by Sherwin Williams) and warm gray trimming (Pachyderm from Sherwin Williams) provide a neutral background for the stark black and white tiles.

The vanity comes with a black granite countertop and a shorter backsplash. White vessel sinks are paired with faucets made of brushed nickel that have a gooseneck spout and cross handles. “They’re a modernized play on a vintage look,” Jennifer says.

Gold cabinet knobs complement the antique brass look of the fixture. The black-colored mirrors complement the black finish of the light. The silver-colored accents of the mirrors compliment the faucet’s finish. The mixed metal look of the vanity adds different layers of interest.
