Built with a classic 1940s exterior, this craftsman bungalow retained its original small layout. Jen Seeger of Casa Verde Design then continued the home’s timeless look into a second-floor master suite.

A previous owner had converted the second floor into two awkward bedrooms with closets and varying ceiling heights.
“The homeowners love the architecture of their bungalow home, but they didn’t want the classic white and black hexagon tile that you see in most bungalows,” said Seeger. By grounding the design with charcoal gray ceramic plank flooring, she established a modern yet elegant foundation for the room.

In each of the bedrooms was a vanity with a sink, but there was no true bathroom with a toilet upstairs. “It was an extremely strange and awkward space, but the homeowners saw the potential when they purchased the home,” said Seeger.
“The homeowners didn’t want the bath to have a feminine feel and loved the gray tones in the shower’s penny tile,” said Seeger. “We pulled the palette for the other selections from the penny tile.”

The gray-greenish tones of the painted cabinetry complement the rest of the home, along with quartz countertops and side-lit mirrors.

“I like to describe the space as handsome, timeless and simple, yet fresh,” said Seeger.
