Mediterranean-Style San Mateo Bathroom Remodel
Elegant Bathroom Remodel Our Design Team Created in San Mateo
The Occidental Ave project reimagined two full bathrooms with a focus on comfort and everyday luxury. Valley Boutique Builders rebuilt the kids’ bathroom around a free-standing tub and a separate shower, then finished the surrounding walls with half-height tile for a refined, easy-to-live-in feel.
In the primary bathroom, Valley Boutique Builders removed the existing jacuzzi tub and replaced it with a large his-and-hers shower. A dedicated crew handled the work from demolition through final finishes under one roof.

A Two-Bathroom Remodel with a Luxurious Feel
This project gave two well-used bathrooms a complete refresh. Valley Boutique Builders approached each room with its own purpose in mind, one for the kids and one as a calm retreat for the homeowners.
The result is a pair of spaces that feel considered and cohesive. For homeowners planning something similar, Valley Boutique Builders folds this kind of work into its bathroom remodeling process.
A Kids' Bathroom Built for Comfort
Valley Boutique Builders completely remodeled the kids’ bathroom to feel bright, durable, and a little indulgent. The layout pairs a soaking tub with a separate shower so the room works for the whole family.
Key features of the kids’ bathroom include:
- A free-standing tub that anchors the room and adds a relaxed, high-end feel.
- A separate walk-in shower for quick, everyday use.
- Half-height tile on the surrounding walls for a clean, luxurious finish.
Half-Height Tile and a Free-Standing Tub
The half-height tile wraps the walls with texture and durability while keeping the space light. Against that backdrop, the free-standing tub reads as the quiet centerpiece of the room.
Together, these choices give a kids’ bathroom the kind of finish more often reserved for a primary suite. Every material was selected to hold up to daily use without feeling utilitarian.
A Spa-Like Primary Bathroom
The primary bathroom was the biggest transformation of the project. Valley Boutique Builders removed the existing jacuzzi tub and rebuilt the space around a generous, shared shower.
From Jacuzzi Tub to His-and-Hers Shower
In place of the old jacuzzi, Valley Boutique Builders built a large his-and-hers shower with two shower heads. The layout gives two people room to share the space comfortably.
The change turned an underused tub into the everyday centerpiece of the primary bathroom. It is a practical upgrade that also raises the feel of the whole room.
A Custom Shampoo Niche with LED Lighting
A custom shampoo niche keeps everything within reach inside the new shower. Built-in LED lights make the niche both a functional detail and a subtle design accent.
Small touches like this are where a Valley Boutique Builders remodel shows its craftsmanship. The lit niche adds a spa-like glow without adding clutter.
One Team From Design to Build
This is what a Valley Boutique Builders project looks like when design and construction work as one. As a family-owned design-build firm, the team carried the homeowners from the first conversation to the final walk-through with one point of contact.
For homeowners considering a similar bathroom remodel, a free consultation is the right place to start. Peace of mind, build with Valley.
