I had told you to stay tuned for the bathrooms after the Kitchen I posted about back in March. Well here they are (finally...thanks for your patience). The first bathroom shown is the Powder Room. My feeling for Powder Rooms is that you can always make them a little more bold and using pricier materials since it's a smaller space to work with. We used Stone and Glass mosaics for the countertop and backsplash, and a pebbled mosaic bordered with rectangular porcelain tile for the floor. I definitely believe we accomplished the Bold in this tiny space!

The next room we designed was the Master Bathroom. Boy do I love how this bathroom turned out! It feels so calm and serene when you are in it. White Carrara Marble was used for the countertops and was paired with green crackled porcelain tiles on the backsplash. The grey veining in the countertop was brought down into the floor with a large field tiles. Glass vessel sinks and chrome fixtures completed this tranquil feel.

Clean and Simple

My best friend Jen had recently bought a house and the bathroom was in desperate need of some remodeling. She wanted a black and white vintage look which was created with white subway tiles for the tub walls and white hexagon mosaics with black grout for the flooring. After the renovations were complete, the bathroom really needed the finishing touches. Accessories made huge difference in an otherwise simple design. With affordable finds from Target, TJ Maxx and Lowes, we were able to give this bathroom huge style.

Our model for this bathroom is Paris aka Bad Kitty as I call her!

Can you tell why?

The Contemporary Set

I had the opportunity to work at the Cole residence on both of the bathroom remodels in their home. The look they were going for was Contemporary and they went with very similar looks in both bathrooms with some minor changes to each. For both we used large slate tile floors, custom red birch vanities and medicine cabinets as well as white subway tiles for the shower walls.

In the Master Bath we used Quartz countertops, Stone Pebbles for the shower pan, and a slate mosaic on the backsplash. In the Hall Bath we used the same materials for the shower walls and floor but we changed the countertops to Corian.

Master Bath Challenge

I loved working on this Master Bath remodel whose owner (Maria) is truly one of the nicest ladies I have ever met. Now as you can see from the photos, this was a tiny bathroom. It proposed not only a challenge for designing, but also for me to fit in it to snap the photos of the end result! We wanted to keep the colors light as to not make this space seem any smaller. Many times when you use a light or even white tile, you lose warmth in the process. The solution was using a white tile that had a gold vein running through it. The pinwheel mosaic had a gold, stone center that drew the color out even more. The gold added warmth while the white background kept it light. I ran the tile to the ceiling in the shower which is another good way make a small space appear larger. To continue on our theme of "lightness", a frameless shower door was installed and a small wall mounted sink kept the floor space open. The result, small master bath...big impact! Maria was extremely happy with the end result and actually sent the showroom flowers for all of our hard work. Thank you Maria for letting us be a part of your home.
