Open space was created in this outdated bathroom by removing the shower walls and installing a clear glass enclosure with brushed  nickel finish and fixtures.  A new oblong bathtub replaced the corner garden tub.  A custom-designed seating area was constructed at the end of the tub area , along with a specially-constructed step for easy access into the tub.  Soffits were removed in the vanity area to provide for puck lighting.  Marble was used for the countertops.
