From Dated to Dream
A Guest Bathroom Transformation | Sudbury, Massachusetts
Some spaces have everything they need to be great — and just need the right team to get them there. That's exactly the story of this guest bathroom in Sudbury, Massachusetts.
The existing bathroom wasn't without its merits. It had a generous footprint, a vaulted ceiling, and a beautiful skylight that flooded the space with natural light. But the fiberglass tub surround, sage green walls, dated chrome fixtures, and plain white tile floor kept it firmly stuck in a previous decade.
The homeowners came to us with a clear vision — and a stunning reeded vanity they had already fallen in love with. Our job was to build an entire bathroom worthy of it.
The Vision: Warm, Timeless and Spa-Like
The homeowners had a clear aesthetic in mind — warm neutrals, natural textures, and fixtures that felt elevated without being cold. The reeded vanity they sourced set the tone perfectly: a wide, furniture-style piece in a rich wood finish with brass hardware, offering both a tactile surface detail and a grounded, organic warmth.
From there, every selection we made was designed to complement and elevate that anchor piece — without competing with it.
The Work: What Hubley Built
Walk-In Shower
The fiberglass tub surround was removed entirely and replaced with a fully tiled walk-in shower. We used an elongated picket tile on the walls — a clean, contemporary shape that adds vertical interest without overwhelming the space. The built-in niche is lined with a delicate herringbone mosaic tile, creating a subtle focal point that rewards a closer look.
A Carrara marble threshold and bench anchor the shower floor, and a frameless glass enclosure keeps the space feeling open and bright — allowing that skylight to do its job across the entire room.
Flooring
The plain white tile floor was replaced with a large-format marble-look porcelain in a soft, veined white. The irregular geometric pattern adds visual movement underfoot without competing with the other design elements — it's the kind of floor that looks simple at first glance and increasingly beautiful over time.
Vanity & Fixtures
The homeowners' reeded vanity became the centerpiece it deserved to be. We installed it with precision, fitting it into the space and connecting the plumbing to a new pair of warm brass widespread faucets. The white quartz countertop with subtle veining ties the vanity to the marble flooring, creating a cohesive palette from floor to counter.
Paired with two brass-framed mirrors and flanking sconces, the vanity wall now has a quiet symmetry that feels intentional and refined.
