Project Overview
Modernizing an Outdated Master Bath Retreat
This Tyler master bathroom underwent a complete transformation, replacing dark, dated features with a clean, high-contrast aesthetic. The homeowners wanted to eliminate a rarely used corner soaking tub and tiny shower enclosure in favor of a bright, functional space with significantly more storage and dedicated vanity seating.
We reconfigured the room’s entire footprint to maximize natural light and everyday usability. By installing custom white shaker cabinetry, patterned tile flooring, matte black fixtures, and a spacious walk-in shower with a half-glass wall, the finished space feels open, airy, and effortlessly modern.

The Challenge
Dated Finishes and Dark Surfaces
- Dark, busy wallpaper creating a closed-in feeling.
- Oversized corner soaking tub taking up floor space.
- Small, cramped shower stall with outdated gold trim.
- Lack of functional storage for linens and towels.
- No dedicated makeup vanity for getting ready.
The original bathroom felt dark, heavy, and functionally constrained. The homeowners needed an open, modern layout designed for streamlined morning routines and effortless organization.
BEFORE:
“From the moment we started working with DreamMaker, we knew we were in good hands. Our master bath had been on our list for years — we just never felt confident enough to pull the trigger with another contractor. DreamMaker changed that completely. They listened to exactly what we wanted, helped us make design decisions we never would have thought of on our own, and delivered a bathroom that honestly feels like something out of a magazine. Every morning I walk in and it still catches me off guard how beautiful it is. The process was smooth, the timeline was respected, and there were zero surprises on the bill. For a family as busy as ours, that peace of mind was everything. We tell everyone who asks — DreamMaker is the only call you need to make.”

Open Concept Layout with Matte Black Accents
We completely opened up the space by removing the bulky corner tub and small shower unit to make room for tailored amenities. Replacing the tub allowed for an expansive custom vanity configuration complete with a built-in makeup station and an open-shelf linen tower right next to the new shower. The dark wallpaper was replaced with bright white walls, subway tile, patterned floor tile, and bold matte black hardware to deliver a striking, high-contrast finish.
Key Improvements included:
- Expansive walk-in shower with half glass wall.
- Custom white shaker cabinetry with matte black pulls.
- Built-in makeup vanity placed between two sinks.
- Open shelving cabinet designed for accessible towel storage.
- Modern round black mirrors with matching wall sconces.
- Bold black-and-white patterned tile flooring throughout room.
- Crisp white subway tile shower with recessed niches.
