From Drab to Dreamy: A Modesto Bathroom Remodel You’ll Love
If you’re considering a Modesto bathroom remodel, look no further than this stunning transformation completed by kitchen & bath CRATE for the homeowners on Del Vista Avenue. What began as an outdated and inefficient bathroom is now a luxurious, thoughtfully designed space boasting modern finishes, upgraded fixtures, and refined elegance from top to bottom.
Let’s dive into the transformation and explore the details that turned this once-drab bathroom into a beautiful, functional retreat.
Vanity & Countertop
The remodel features a 60″ Thompson Bathroom Vanity in Gray by Studio Design. This piece delivers both storage and style, with a polished countertop and integrated sink included. The faucet installation is wide-spread, ensuring a custom, high-end appearance. A Delta Ashlyn Widespread Faucet in Brilliance Stainless complements the vanity perfectly, balancing modern design with durability.
The vanity serves as the centerpiece of the bathroom, grounded in gray tones that contrast beautifully with the crisp white walls and glossy tile finishes.

Shower
One of the biggest functional changes in this Modesto bathroom remodel was the complete relocation of the shower. What used to be a closet in an adjacent room has now been transformed into a 58″x32″ walk-in shower, featuring premium tile, custom niches, and beautiful finishing touches.
Shower Walls:
- Back Wall Tile: Marin Aloe Green 2 1/2″ x 10″ Glossy (Installed Vertically) from Bedrosians
- Return Wall Tile: Donna 13″x40″ Rectified Flat Field Tile in Matte White (Horizontal 1/2 Offset Pattern) from Bedrosians
- Grout: Laticrete, Color 45 Bright White, Width: 1/8″
The combination of glossy green and matte white offers visual interest and contrast while maintaining a tranquil, spa-like atmosphere.
Shower Floor:
- Tile: Glorious White Marble 3″ Hex Mosaic (Brushed) from Bedrosians
- Grout: Laticrete, Color 97 Iron
- Orientation: Mesh-mounted for precision
This marble mosaic adds texture and luxury underfoot while the darker grout makes cleaning easier and the pattern more defined.
Niche & Bench:
- Niche Size: 22″x18″, located on the opposite return wall as the shower head
- Niche Tile: Glorious White Marble 3″ Hex Mosaic (Brushed) from Bedrosians (Same as floor)
- Bench: 16″ high, in left corner of the shower
- Trim: Schluter Jolly Matte White for niche and shower edge termination
These thoughtful details elevate the shower’s usability while ensuring a cohesive look throughout.
Fixtures:
Shower Trim: Delta Ashlyn Monitor 17 Series with In2ition Hand Shower in Brilliance Stainless
Shower Door
Adding a premium finish to the shower is a semi-frameless dual bypass glass door, fabricated and installed by Don’s Mobile Glass.
- Height: 80″
- Hardware Finish: Brushed Nickel
- Protective Coating: EnduroShield for easier cleaning and reduced water spots
Toilet & Functionality Upgrades
The old toilet was removed and relocated to improve the bathroom’s flow. It was replaced with a Kohler Highline Comfort-Height Toilet, designed for both water efficiency and user comfort. The white porcelain finish matches seamlessly with the other bright elements of the bathroom.

Tile
Tile played a starring role in elevating this remodel. The main floor was redone in Makoto Grey 10×10″ hexagonal tiles, arranged in a random pattern for visual variety. This complements the marble hex in the shower floor, tying the entire bathroom together.
Bright Laticrete grout in white was used on wall tile for crisp lines, while Story Grey grout on the floors provides contrast and reduces visible wear.
- Main Floor Tile: Makoto Grey 10×10″ Hex from Bedrosians
- Main Floor Grout: Laticrete, Color 87 Story Grey (1/8″)
- Shower Wall Grout: Laticrete, Color 45 Bright White (1/8″)
- Shower Floor Grout: Laticrete, Color 97 Iron
Paint & Finishing Touches
Every inch of the bathroom received a fresh coat of paint in Sherwin-Williams SW 7004 Snowbound, applied in different sheens for walls, trim, and ceiling. This bright white shade keeps the space clean, airy, and timeless.
The shower enclosure was completed with a semi-frameless bypass glass door by Don’s Mobile Glass. With brushed nickel hardware and EnduroShield coating, it enhances both aesthetics and functionality.
- Walls: Sherwin-Williams SW 7004 Snowbound – Eggshell finish
- Ceiling: Sherwin-Williams SW 7004 Snowbound – Standard finish
- Trim/Baseboards/Doors: SW 7004 Snowbound – Semi-gloss finish
- Shower Door: Semi-frameless dual bypass, 80″ height, brushed nickel hardware, EnduroShield coating (Don’s Mobile Glass)
This unified color scheme ties all elements together and helps the space feel bigger and brighter.
Lighting & Ventilation
To maximize usability, the remodel included a fresh lighting and ventilation plan. The vanity is flanked by two sconces provided by the homeowner, paired with a recessed wafer light above the toilet for ambient illumination.
The addition of a lighted exhaust fan with humidistat control ensures moisture is managed effectively, protecting finishes long-term.
- Vanity sconces (homeowner supplied)
