Sophisticated Marble Spa Bathroom Remodel

Stone Mountain, GA
Modern open concept marble bathroom remodel with freestanding tub and glass block window in Stone Mountain GA

PROJECT OVERVIEW

This master bathroom remodel in Stone Mountain transformed an early-2000s builder-grade space into a clean, sophisticated retreat designed for everyday luxury. The original bathroom felt dated and problematic — featuring beige ceramic tile with oversized grout joints, uneven surfaces, poor lighting design, and a whirlpool tub that had become unusable due to buildup within the jet system. Additionally, moisture issues under the shower pan raised concerns about mold and long-term durability.

The homeowners envisioned a bright, modern sanctuary with elevated finishes, improved layout flow, and lighting that would truly enhance the experience of the space.

HOMEOWNERS’ GOALS

The clients wanted to move away from the heavy, compartmentalized feel of the original bathroom and instead create an open, calming environment that felt refined yet highly functional. Their vision centered on a light palette, spa-like materials, and layered lighting that would eliminate dark corners and create visual clarity throughout the room. Comfort was also a priority — the existing vanity layout with a low makeup station had become impractical over time, and the whirlpool tub was no longer something they enjoyed using. They desired a timeless soaking tub experience, improved storage, and a shower that felt spacious and luxurious.

LAYOUT & SPACE IMPROVEMENTS

A key transformation involved removing the wall that once enclosed the toilet area. This allowed the bathroom to breathe visually and created a true open-concept layout that feels larger and more cohesive.

The outdated double vanity separated by a low makeup station was replaced with a streamlined wall-to-wall vanity that improves circulation and usability while significantly increasing storage capacity. The new walk-in shower was reconfigured with a curbless marble pan and linear drain to improve accessibility and drainage performance.

The bulky whirlpool tub was replaced with a sculptural freestanding soaking tub that now serves as a focal point of the space rather than an unused feature.
