Episode 111: Bright Ideas for Compact Bathrooms

In this episode of "Renovation Made Right," we address a unique listener query that resonates with many homeowners: How do you transform a small, dated space into your forever home, one room at a time?

This week, we delve into a listener's journey of renovating a quaint 650 sqft house, originally built as a summer cottage in the 60s. After successfully revamping their kitchen, the homeowners are ready to tackle the next challenge - the bathroom.

The focus is on a common issue in older homes: low head height in the shower, especially in a bathroom with sloping ceilings. Our listener is considering installing a skylight in the shower area to add height and bring in natural light. But, is this feasible? What are the implications of having a window so close to moisture?

Join Dave and Brenda as they explore the practicalities, challenges, and creative solutions for installing skylights in bathrooms. They'll cover everything from moisture management, structural considerations, to maximizing small spaces with smart design choices.

Tune in for an episode packed with expert advice, tailored specifically for making the most of compact spaces, and turning them into comfortable, functional, and bright areas of your home!
