In season 7 episode 8 of Bath Crashers, entitled "Garage Door Art Bath," host Matt Muenster and his team tackle a unique bathroom renovation challenge. Their clients, a couple with a passion for contemporary art, want to transform their outdated and cramped bathroom into a modern and functional space that reflects their love of art.
The episode begins with the couple meeting Matt at their garage, where they have commissioned a local street artist to create a one-of-a-kind mural for their garage door. The mural features a bold and colorful abstract design that the couple hopes to incorporate into their new bathroom. Matt is impressed with the artwork and suggests that they use it as inspiration for the bathroom's design.
Matt starts by demolishing the old bathroom, including removing the outdated yellow tile floor and the cramped shower stall. He then expands the bathroom by knocking down a dividing wall between the bathroom and the adjacent closet. This creates a much larger bathroom with space for a new walk-in shower and a luxurious soaking tub.
To incorporate the garage door artwork into the bathroom, Matt decides to use glass tiles with a similar abstract design for the shower walls. The tiles are custom-made to match the color scheme of the garage door mural. Matt also installs a rainfall showerhead and a steam shower system for added luxury.
For the flooring, Matt chooses large porcelain tiles in a dark grey color for contrast with the glass tiles. He also adds radiant heating to keep the bathroom warm and cozy.
One of the biggest challenges of the renovation is fitting the new soaking tub into the space. To achieve this, Matt has to remove a portion of the bathroom's exterior wall and install a new window to allow for natural light. He also has to reinforce the floor underneath the tub to support its weight.
To create a more spacious feel in the new bathroom, Matt installs a large double vanity with plenty of storage. He also adds custom lighting fixtures to highlight the garage door artwork and the new tub.
The episode ends with the big reveal, and the couple is thrilled with their new bathroom. Matt's use of the garage door artwork as inspiration for the design creates a unique and personalized space that perfectly reflects their love of contemporary art. The new bathroom has transformed from a cramped and outdated space to an oasis of luxury and relaxation.
Overall, season 7 episode 8 of Bath Crashers, "Garage Door Art Bath," showcases Matt Muenster's expertise in transforming even the smallest and most outdated bathrooms into beautiful and functional spaces. Through his use of custom glass tiles, radiant heating, and high-end fixtures, Matt creates a luxurious bathroom that perfectly reflects his clients' personalities and style.
