Case Study: Aimee’s Bathroom Renaissance in Omaha, NE

The Quest Begins

Meet Aimee: Omaha native, proud dog mom, Pinterest enthusiast, and—until recently—the reluctant cohabitant of a claustrophobic shower stall that felt more like a vertical coffin than a spa sanctuary.

For years, Aimee had been dreaming of a walk-in shower that didn’t require a 3-point turn to shave her legs. She also had her eye on a stylish new vanity (the old one wobbled like a Jenga tower) and hoped to increase her shower’s footprint. But more than just the aesthetics, Aimee had a deeper mission: she wanted her bathroom to add real value to her home—not just take up space.

So she set out on a journey to find a contractor who could bring all her ideas to life without bringing a circus of chaos into her home.

Enter: The Shower Whisperers

After scrolling past a few contractors who promised “quick fixes” that sounded more like medieval plumbing experiments, Aimee discovered Custom Bath & Shower. A few honest conversations and one very detailed quote later, she decided this was the team for the job. She wanted no-nonsense expertise and a crew that wouldn’t accidentally tile over her cat. Custom Bath & Shower delivered.

The Game Plan

The plan was ambitious but doable:

1. Remove the tiny prefab shower stall—which Aimee swore was getting smaller every year.
2. Expand the shower footprint—creating a roomy walk-in shower with sleek lines and a modern aesthetic.
3. Install a new vanity—one that didn’t squeak, tilt, or look like it came from the set of Little House on the Prairie.
4. Tie it all together to ensure long-term value, functional design, and a splash of “wow.”

And so, with tile samples in hand and excitement in the air, the remodel began.

Demo Days and Design Decisions

Aimee braced herself for the infamous chaos of demolition—and was pleasantly surprised. The crew was efficient, courteous, and somehow left her hallway cleaner than it was before they arrived. The old shower came out without a hitch, and the expansion began.

The team worked with Aimee to ensure her walk-in shower didn’t just look stunning, but also felt luxurious. They incorporated easy-to-clean surfaces, smart storage niches, and fixtures that turned every rinse into a rinse with flair.

As for the vanity? Aimee picked one that looked like it belonged in a boutique hotel. Sleek drawers. Soft-close everything. No more leaning towers or unintentional finger pinches.

The Big Reveal

Two weeks, a few coffee-fueled design chats, and only one instance of her dog stepping in wet grout later—the project wrapped up. Aimee’s once-cramped bathroom was now a glowing example of comfort, functionality, and yes, a little touch of spa-level glam.

She got her walk-in shower, her dream vanity, and that all-important bump in home value—all without losing her mind (or her cat).

Final Thoughts

Aimee’s bathroom journey proves that remodeling doesn’t have to be a horror story. With a clear vision, the right team, and a bit of humor, even a small space can become something extraordinary.

And now? She’s recommending Custom Bath & Shower to anyone who’ll listen—especially fellow bath-time daydreamers in Omaha.
