Shower StallThis photo was taken from the younger sister’s shower door, and the door on the right leads to her older sister’s private bathroom space. Both shower doors are frosted glass for privacy. The 3D tile adds a clean and contemporary touch to the shower, while the penny rounds on the floor add some playful movement. The shower head is a mix of white and chrome, chosen for its resistance to water spots.Shower head: PuraVida, Hansgrohe
Or this? Like idea of having some blue tint in hanging lights in kitchen
Another decision left up to the girls was the wallpaper. Verga proposed 12 options that she thought would work well, and the girls picked their favorite, a fresh botanical floral print from Brooklyn, New York, designer Rebecca Atwood. They also chose the sparkly light over the vanity. “This light adds some glam,” she says. “We downplayed it with the more modern sconce, which has a matte brass finish.” Hardware is another element that would be easy to replace in the future. “This hardware is so cool,” Verga says of the brass pulls and oversize Lucite knobs. “We mixed metals by using chrome faucets. Metal is for shine, and we balanced polished and matte finishes.” Expanding the Room and Shower StallShe borrowed about 10 square feet from an adjacent bonus room to accommodate a generous double vanity. The wallpapered beam over the vanity area marks where the wall used to be. Browse blue botanical wallpapers in the Houzz Shop
Verga replaced the existing tub-shower combo with a roomy shower with a frameless clear glass enclosure. The floor tile in the shower is a smaller version of the oversize Calacatta marble hexagonal tiles on the bathroom floor. This mixes things up yet maintains continuity.“While they wanted neutral, this family is also kind of preppy. So we created oversized stripes in the shower using tile in a way that wasn’t too bold,” Verga says. They used a combination of small hexagonal tiles and elongated subway tiles, both in white for a subtle effect.Shop for hexagonal tile
Built in microwave does look nice.

10. Shower or Tub? When considering a bathtub or a shower-only option, ask yourself how many baths you take a year. I often have to remind my clients that they are not renovating their homes for a future buyer, but rather for themselves. Even if you live in your house only for another five years, it’s worth it to do it for yourself. And besides, there’s no guaranteed way to tell what will appeal to a future buyer.More on HouzzHomeowner’s Workbook: How to Remodel Your BathroomFind a bathroom designer near youShop for bathroom products
A large cabinet in the base of the island has pullout drawers for pots and pans. “You have no idea how much I love this,” Holly says. “It’s so easy to just grab a pot when I need it. It has just made such a difference.”
1. Pale Green and Gorgeous Designers: Emily Tucker Design (interiors) and Patrick M. Croke (architecture)Location: Bedford, New YorkSize: 350 square feet (33 square meters)Homeowners’ request. A bright kitchen with plenty of counter and cabinet space.Cabinet color. Pale green (Light Blue by Farrow & Ball). “Because this room opens to the family room, we wanted it to have an airy quality and not weigh down one end of the space,” designer Emily Tucker says. “We had also already selected the fabrics for the family room upholstery and window treatments, and this color was a perfect complement to those tones.” Find a kitchen designer near you

8. Herringbone and Hex Tile GaloreSignature Designs Kitchen & Bath transformed what was a compact corner bathroom into this sprawling full master, complete with a large walk-in closet. The double vanity area, framed in herringbone glass tile backsplash, was carved from the existing bedroom and closets. On the floor, understated hex marble tile adds dimension, while brass plumbing fixtures keep things feeling current.10 Tile Layouts You Haven’t Thought Of
Girls both like concept of having primarily white bathroom w blue accent tile -either above vanity or shower (both want showe stall only-no tub)
3. Custom Tile and Dream Vanity Storage Set This Bathroom ApartWhile neutral color palettes dominated the most popular bathroom makeovers, turquoise was a favorite when it came to adding a burst of bright color. And it’s easy to see why when looking at the watery fish-scale wall tile in this Massachusetts bathroom. A wavy 3D tile on the shower and vanity walls, a tub that looks like a modern sculpture and a bamboo vanity with a modern marble waterfall top were also style standouts here.

2. Design your kitchen around a fireplace, or add one. Is there anything cozier than a crackling fire at a family holiday? If you are expanding your kitchen into another room or even building a new home, consider including a fireplace in the kitchen, as in this project by Barbara Gisel Design. We always light fires in our living room during winter parties, but it’s not enough to draw the crowds; everyone still hangs out in the kitchen. If a new fireplace is not an option for your renovation plan, try to open sight lines to a hearth in another room that has one.Find kitchen designers in your area
3. Designer Kieran Liebl says she pulled from her clients’ coastal New England roots when designing this new Shingle-style home in Minnesota. The living room features the layout and amenities of an open, contemporary home but showcases details often seen in classic coastal houses, including a beamed ceiling, stone fireplace surround and ocean-inspired colors. Glass fishing floats, vintage maps and other coastal decor reinforce the New England theme.

2. They Only Look Like PaversDesigner and contractor: Chris Corbett DesignLocation: Davis, CaliforniaSize: 324-square-foot (31-square-meter) patio in a 750-square-foot (70-square-meter) backyardMaterials: Poured-in-place concrete slab inset with river pebblesDesigner Chris Corbett created a new outdoor space for the owner of this home in Northern California, replacing a dilapidated deck and tearing out a thirsty lawn. The redesign drastically reduces maintenance and water use and sets up an existing mature cherry tree to thrive. The main patio area is a poured concrete slab with quarter-inch joints (the thinner lines you can see on the surface of most of the concrete). The surface has a lightly washed sand finish (lightly washed and swept with a broom to expose the sand).The day after the concrete patio was poured, Corbett used a handheld grinder and a diamond blade to create the design you see in the foreground. He cut along surface joints, then removed the top 3 inches of concrete along those cuts, leaving the bottom 3 inches intact. The concrete is still one solid slab, with the pebbles covering where the concrete connects. The concrete looks like separate tiles, but it will nev...
1. Warm and SunnyDesigner: Michelle MentzerLocation: Milton, Georgia Size: 210 square feet (20 square meters); 14 by 15 feetHomeowners’ request. A light, bright and family-friendly space. Cabinets. Custom, painted in Wind’s Breath by Benjamin Moore. They extend to the 10-foot ceiling. Other special features. Six-inch-wide white oak flooring. Custom warm gray backsplash tile that extends to the ceiling. Brass pendants. Quartz perimeter countertop. Designer secret. “Taking the cabinets all the way up to the ceiling along with the tile around the vent hood makes the space feels more grand,” designer Michelle Mentzer says. “If a client can’t have new cabinets made to fit up to the ceiling, my designer trick would be to make sure the cabinet color and wall color are the same.” “Uh-oh” moment. “We debated on keeping the island countertop or replacing it with our perimeter selection,” Mentzer says. “We ended up keeping it and picking a perimeter selection that complemented it with a lighter tone with less movement.” Outdoor stools: Ballard Designs; pendants and cabinet hardware: Restoration Hardware; cabinets: Bell Cabinetry & Design; backsplash tile: Ceramic Technics; appliances: Ho...
From the get-go, the owners knew they wanted a 48-inch range. The architects used that as one of the focal points for the design, lining the wall behind the range with the same quartz used for the countertops. “It creates consistency,” Jui says. Pots and pans live in deep drawers on either side of the range. The rest of that wall is covered in vinyl wallpaper that is wipeable and scrubbable. “We wanted to give them something a little unexpected,” Jui says. “Most people don’t think to use a wall covering as backsplash.”Range: 48-inch Professional Series Pro Grand commercial-depth dual-fuel steam range, Thermador; wall covering: Combed Chevron in black slate, Schumacher
This kitchen features some of the most popular choices among homeowners renovating their kitchens: white cabinets and countertop, wood floors, gray cabinets (on the island) and multicolored backsplash.Since survey respondents had completed a kitchen project in the previous 12 months, were working on one or planned to start one in the next three months, their responses provide a window on what’s trending in American kitchens now. Read on to find out which colors and materials were most popular.

2. End cap. This broom cabinet shares the concept with the prior photo but has greater depth. The upper shelves have sufficient vertical space to hold cleaning bottles and supplies.
1. Side cabinet. This unobtrusive, shallow cabinet makes use of the paneled space at the end of the oven bay that is often purely decorative. No real estate is lost, and the kitchen broom gains a discreet hiding place.
8. Colored cabinets. Interior designer Cynthia Soda designed this laundry room for her mother. “My mom said she wanted ‘an eclectic-modern-retro-vintage-cheerful laundry,’” Soda says. “I said, ‘Mom, that’s not a thing, those are just a bunch of words linked together,’ but I tried to hit each one of those words in the design.”Soda added some retro charm with light blue cabinets covered in Benjamin Moore’s Gossamer Blue and a vintage-inspired light fixture.
7. Wheeled bins. The builders of this laundry room worked in ample counter space and large wheeled bins, which is a great way to protect your back from not having to bend and lift a heavy hamper. The wallpaper in this laundry brings an added dose of joy to the space while staying within a neutral color palette.
Another master br look I like. If we finish 3d floor above master and can't do vaulted ceilings though in BR that ok. Love the style of ceiling and sliding doors to close and bath in Voloshin's master BR.
Evan and I both like mounted tv above f/p across from bed and overhead fixture. ALso Like tray ceiling detail and vaulted master ceiling.
Evan and I also both like this ceiling fixture and bedroom color scheme.
we like shoe racks on bottom of separated cubbies in mud room. 4 cubbies ideal.
Like whole look and layout of this house w large foyer with high celilings and formal living room on one side of entry and dining room on other and center stair case ahead.
LIke an eat in kitchen table near windows facing rear, in between kitchen and family room. Doesn't need to be built in banquette though.
We both would like a mainly white kitchen but with a splash of color-- maybe colored center island... and/or backsplash. I like look of this kitchen, Evan not as big a fan b/c of all different shapes and he thinks it looks overly large.
We both like this room-- both color scheme and ceiling and light from windows.
We want to have gable windows in both kids' bedrooms so both can have window seats in their rooms. Like aspects of this room including general size, window seat, and built in bookcase. Need not have desk built in though if going to have shared family office downstairs.
Shrub possibly to surround tank
