Before + After: From Dark to Dreamy

Bathroom Makeovers for A8 Evergreen Hill, Door County

This powder room got a cheerful glow-up, trading muted tones for playful colors and organic shapes. It’s a fresh, fun take on Door County style—still rooted in the beauty of the woods and water.

The camera doesn’t quite catch it, but this green vanity is just right—charming, not too loud, and totally in tune with the rest of the space. Here are a few more updates:

  • Continued the new flooring for a unified design.

  • Raised the vanity to be the 2025 standard of 36” high.

  • Added a statement mirror.

  • Finished with details of art, lighting, and towel accessories.

While there wasn’t as much to do in the main bathroom, a better paint color, new flooring, and different accessories make a big difference.

From Cluttered to Clean: A Hallway Makeover

What a difference a few design choices can make! In the “before” photo, the upstairs hallway was visually busy with multiple doors in a small space, dark trim, and a mix of finishes. While functional, the overall look felt dated and a bit chaotic.

In the “after” photo, we simplified and streamlined the layout—consolidating what were once two separate bathroom doors into one. This not only improved the functionality but also allowed for a cleaner, calmer hallway design.

We updated the trim to a soft wood tone and painted the doors a crisp white in a modern, shaker style. The walls got a lighter, brighter treatment, making the whole space feel more open and inviting. We also swapped the flooring for fresh carpet that’s neutral and cozy underfoot—perfect for a vacation rental.

And don’t miss the subtle touches: minimalist artwork and a new handrail add just enough personality without overwhelming the space. It’s proof that even a hallway can have a moment!
