Bathroom at a Glance
Who lives here: A couple with four grown daughters and two grandchildren
Location: White Bear Lake, Minnesota
Size: 200 square feet (19 square meters)
Designers: Amy Leferink of Interior Impressions (interior design) and TEA2 Architects (architecture)
Builder: Kootenia Homes
The bathroom can be accessed from what Leferink refers to as the “lakeside hallway,” which has a door leading out to a patio and then the lake. This way, family and guests can head straight from swimming to the sauna without traipsing through the main part of the house.
One enters the bathroom through a door into this central washroom. A toilet room is behind a door to the left, and a shower and sauna are through a pocket door on the right. (Scroll to the bottom to see the floor plan.) The separation of spaces allows multiple people to use the bathroom at once, says Leferink, who also worked with the clients on their previous house.
Leferink’s design firm, Interior Impressions, uses Houzz Pro as its business platform. For this room, as well as for the design of the whole house, Leferink used Houzz Pro tools for product selections, proposals, scheduling, project updates, time tracking and invoicing. The firm also encourages clients to gather inspiration photos from Houzz and save them to ideabooks that they can share with their designers.
“It makes it so easy and convenient for our clients and our team,” Leferink says, adding that Houzz Pro also saves her clients money. “[Its tools] help minimize the cost of a client’s investment with the design firm [because] we have such great efficiencies. And it allows us to do so much more because this is such a smooth and easy process.”
