Four-Bathroom and Laundry Remodel + Custom Walk-In Closet in Keller, TX

Project Snapshot: Four bathrooms, one laundry room, and a brand-new custom walk-in closet — 1,100 square feet of fully reimagined living space, completed in just 8 to 9 weeks.

When this Keller, TX homeowner contacted Home Build and Designs, the home still wore its original early-1990s skin: heavy travertine in the primary bath, teal square tile in the guest bath, a cramped pedestal-sink powder room, and a laundry room that worked but didn’t inspire.

The brief was ambitious — a coordinated transformation of every wet area in the home, plus a custom walk-in closet built into space that was previously sealed off.

We delivered the entire scope in roughly two months, on a single project schedule, with one general contractor managing every trade.

This is a project page documenting how we did it: layout changes, materials, fixtures, paint, and the bathroom design decisions that tie all six spaces of this multi-room home renovation together.

Project at a Glance

The Master Bathroom: From Tuscan Travertine to Modern Spa

The original primary bath was a textbook mid-1990s build — wall-to-wall travertine, a heavy drop-in tub under the window, a frameless glass shower with rainfall fixtures, an ornate distressed cream double vanity, and an iron ceiling fan competing with a pendant chandelier under a vaulted ceiling.

Beautiful at one point, dated now.

The new design strips everything back to the architectural bones of the room — that vaulted ceiling and arched window are the heroes, and the arch now floods the vanity wall with natural light instead of competing with busy tile.

Then we layered in three deliberate moves:

• A floating natural-wood double vanity with a thick quartz waterfall countertop, two undermount Kohler sinks, and brushed brass widespread faucets. Wall-hung construction visually lifts the floor, making the room feel larger.
• A long backlit LED mirror flanked by sculptural brass globe sconces — the kind of fixture that doubles as art when the lights are off.
• A floor-to-ceiling blue-veined marble slab inside the walk-in shower. It’s the single boldest move in the home and the reason the rest of the palette had to stay quiet.

Walls were opened up to widen the entry, plumbing was relocated to support the new vanity and shower configuration, and the entire floor was redone in a polished light, large-format tile that reads almost concrete in person.

Tile installation alone took just under two weeks, given the marble slab work in the shower.

Sherwin-Williams Pure White (SW 7005) on the ceilings and trim reflects light up into the vault; Repose Gray (SW 7015) warms the walls without competing with the wood tones.

The New Custom Walk-In Closet

One of the most rewarding parts of this project was building a fully custom walk-in closet inside previously unused space in the master bathroom footprint.

The original layout had wasted square footage behind the old shower and tub configuration — by reframing the wet area, we recovered enough room to add a true his-and-hers closet without expanding the home’s footprint.

The closet features:

• Floor-to-ceiling shaker-style built-ins with glass-front upper cabinets and brushed brass pulls
• A central tower of seven graduated drawers — the deepest at the bottom for sweaters, the shallowest at the top for accessories
• Tiered open shoe shelving angled to follow the vaulted ceiling line
• A built-in island/dresser in the center for jewelry and folded items
• Dual-position LED spotlights and soft plush charcoal carpet

This is the kind of high-ROI addition we encourage clients to consider during any larger bathroom project — if you’re already opening walls and relocating plumbing, capturing dead space for storage costs a fraction of what it would as a standalone add later.

Guest Bathroom #1: Blue Glass & Brass

The first guest bath had good bones — a tub/shower combo, a small window, and a double vanity — but everything else needed to go.

The new design keeps the same plumbing footprint to control budget, but every surface is replaced:

• Floor-to-ceiling stacked blue glass subway tile on the tub/shower wall with a horizontal brass-trimmed niche
• A semi-frameless sliding glass shower door with brass barn-style hardware
• The existing double vanity refinished in a soft slate blue-gray (Sherwin-Williams Mineral Deposit, SW 7652), fitted with arched mirrors, brass cylinder sconces, and brass widespread faucets
• A blue-and-white floral-patterned floor tile from Floor & Decor that gives the room personality without overpowering it

Guest Bathroom #2: From Dated Teal to Refined Gray

This was the room with the heaviest “before”: a teal four-inch-square tile from waist height up, a framed obscure-glass shower enclosure, and a pedestal sink.

Every surface came out. To open the room up, we removed a wall between the toilet alcove and the shower, then rebuilt the layout around a proper walk-in shower:

• Large-format light gray subway tile on the shower walls with a recessed niche
• Penny round mosaic floor inside the shower with a linear brass drain
• A frameless glass shower with brushed brass barn-door hardware and rainfall + handheld Kohler fixtures
• A new dark charcoal-navy vanity (Sherwin-Williams Cyberspace, SW 7076) with an arched mirror and a brass single-globe sconce
• A striking geometric black-and-white patterned floor tile that anchors the room and reads decidedly modern

The Office Powder Bath: Small Room, Big Statement

The fourth bathroom is the smallest in the home, a half bath off the home office, but it earned the boldest design choice:

• Full feature wall of deep navy/black glossy square tile behind a round mirror
• Four-globe brass vanity light
• Natural wood floating vanity, white quartz top
• Brass widespread faucet

It’s the room guests photograph.

The Laundry Room Remodel: A Working Mudroom

The original laundry room was functional but generic — white cabinets, a stainless steel drop-in sink, and gray patterned vinyl floors.

The goal for this laundry room remodel was to double its functionality by rebuilding it as a working mudroom for a busy family:

• Full slate-blue shaker cabinetry (Sherwin-Williams Cyberspace, SW 7076) across both walls, with crown molding on the uppers
• A deep white fireclay farmhouse apron-front sink with a brass gooseneck pull-down faucet
• White quartz countertops with an extended run for folding
• A new built-in mudroom bench/cubby zone with hooks and open shoe storage on the opposite wall
• A black-and-white penny mosaic floor tile from Floor & Decor that reads as both classic and current
• Stacked washer/dryer enclosure to free up floor space

The result is a room that does five jobs at once — wash, dry, fold, drop bags, and store seasonal gear.

Laundry room storage is the quiet hero of the renovation; vertical storage was prioritized throughout, with full-height shaker uppers, a deep base run, and built-in bench cubbies that together more than double what the original layout could hold.

The arched window above the sink keeps the space full of natural light despite the deeper cabinet color.

The Design Language: One Thread Through Six Rooms

The challenge with a multi-room remodel is consistency without monotony.

Each of these six spaces has its own character: bold navy tile in the powder bath, soft blue glass in the guest bath, dramatic marble in the master, but a single design language ties them all together.

The overall direction is modern minimalist: clean lines, neutral base palettes, no ornate millwork, and a deliberately clutter-free finish in every room.

Materials, Mechanicals & the Things You Don’t See

A bathroom remodel is judged on the finishes, but it succeeds or fails on what’s behind the walls.

A few of the decisions on this project that don’t photograph but matter just as much:

• Porcelain tile in every wet area. Porcelain and ceramic tile are the most durable flooring options for wet environments — denser than natural stone, lower water absorption than luxury vinyl plank, and rated for decades of use. Every bathroom floor, every shower wall, and the laundry floor in this project is porcelain or ceramic from Floor & Decor.
• Moisture-resistant materials throughout. Bathroom and laundry renovations live or die by their resistance to humidity. Beyond the tile, that meant moisture-resistant drywall behind all shower walls, quartz countertops (non-porous, no sealing required) in place of natural stone in high-use spots, and properly rated paint on every ceiling.
• Upgraded exhaust ventilation in every bathroom. A powerful exhaust fan is the single best defense against mold and mildew in a humid room, and undersized fans are one of the most common reasons older bathrooms develop moisture problems. We sized each fan to the room’s cubic footage and tied them to humidity-sensing switches so they run automatically after a shower.
• Layered lighting in every room. Each space combines three lighting layers — ambient (recessed LED ceiling cans), task (vanity sconces or the backlit LED mirror), and accent (under-cabinet strips in the laundry, in-shower recessed in the master). Layered lighting is what separates a bathroom that functions from a bathroom that just illuminates.

What This Project Demonstrates

Homeowners considering a similar scope should take three lessons from this build:

1. Bundle your projects. Doing four bathrooms and a laundry room simultaneously cost meaningfully less than the same scope spread over five separate projects — shared trades, shared dumpsters, shared mobilization, one design fee. If you have the cash flow and somewhere to stay during the heavy weeks, bundling wins.
2. Capture dead space before you close walls back up. The new walk-in closet exists because we identified unused volume during demolition. Once drywall goes back up, that opportunity disappears for another twenty years.
3. Pick one bold move per room. The navy tile, the blue marble slab, the patterned floor in the guest bath — each room has exactly one “wow” element. Everything else stays quiet, so the statement reads. Rooms with three statements read as chaotic; rooms with none read as builder-grade.
