A few months ago I worked on a bathroom renovation for a wonderful family. The design was to stay traditional and blend into their home but dramatically update their bathroom. Materials were chosen that kept within those boundaries but still allowed them to have a little fun by adding glass and some detailed plumbing fixtures. Another key element was a sitting area for getting ready in the morning.
Granite was selected as a countertop material and rich dark alder for the cabinetry. Oil rubbed bronze & Venetian bronze were selected for all of the fixtures and bath accessories.
A procelain tile was used that resembled a natural stone which meant a rich look but low maintenace as it does not need to be sealed to keep water from penetrating it. Glass was utilized as an accent in the shower and around the tub and frameless glass created a rich, open and crisp space.
A bench was put in the entry corner along with the shower controls so that the shower could be turned on immediately when entering the shower - no need to get sprayed with icy cold water while leaning all of the way in the turn it on like a standard shower.
A hand held shower is such a nice add-on to put into a shower because it provides a means of easy cleaning. Instead of scrubbing down your shower walls you can spray them down easily to clean them.
I am so thrilled with how this bath turned out. It is a relaxing place for the family to get ready in the morning and met all of the needs that they came to me with. See below for a list of materials used in this project.
