Jane removed the existing tub to make way for a large walk-in shower, complete with an eye-catching contemporary shower panel, contrasting natural bamboo and sleek stainless steel. The rectangular porcelain tile with a bamboo effect was installed vertically to add visual height, while paired with a stone and glass mosaic tile in a wrapped stripe for interest. The glass block window streams natural light through the door-less shower entrance, and can be seen from the bedroom. To continue the functional clean lines, a large vanity with a travertine countertop and integrated double stone sinks was installed. Photography - Grey Crawford

After 20 years in their home, this Redding, CT couple was anxious to exchange their tired, 80s-styled master bath for an elegant retreat boasting a myriad of modern conveniences. Because they were less than fond of the existing space-one that featured a white color palette complemented by a red tile border surrounding the tub and shower-the couple desired radical transformation. Inspired by a recent stay at a luxury hotel & armed with photos of the spa-like bathroom they enjoyed there, they called upon the design expertise & experience of Barry Miller of Simply Baths, Inc. Miller immediately set about imbuing the room with transitional styling, topping the floor, tub deck and shower with a mosaic Honey Onyx border. Honey Onyx vessel sinks and Ubatuba granite complete the embellished decor, while a skylight floods the space with natural light and a warm aesthetic. A large Whirlpool tub invites the couple to relax and unwind, and the inset LCD TV serves up a dose of entertainment. When time doesn't allow for an indulgent soak, a two-person shower with eight body jets is equally luxurious. The bathroom also features ample storage, complete with three closets, three medicine cabinets, and various display niches. Now these homeowners are delighted when they set foot into their newly transformed five-star master bathroom retreat.

Neal's Design Remodel

Bath set (tub platform and vanity) The desire to use eco-friendly materials led to the choice of bamboo for this Asian inspired bath. The heavy tops and leg elements were fabricated from engineered bamboo panels and the lighter textural elements were created by inserting bamboo strips into a finished plywood substrate. Special sealer and several coats of polyurethane ensure water resistance and long wear. Dimensions for vanity: 6'0" x 1'8", however the sizes can be customized, additional charges apply. Sinks and faucets are not included in the price. The large vanity, drawers and cabinets were also handcrafted from bamboo, and employ a different geometry to stimulate the senses. The vision behind this beautifully designed master bathroom was to create a comfortable setting that would bring the peace of nature inside. Pocket doors open the bathroom to the scenic view of the estate, and natural materials were used to compliment the large 3x5 ft. frameless glass shower, and the big two-person oval hot tub. Light enters the bathroom through three windows; each bringing natural light in from the vaulted central atrium. The tub platform was handcrafted from a thick bamboo, giving it a solid presence that is enhanced by the lighter effect of the skirt. The larger vanity, drawers and cabinets were also handcrafted from bamboo, and employ a different geometry to stimulate the senses. Custom crafted lights and windows were designed to create a sense of flow and cohesion. Tile mosaics in the shower and on the floor also give the bathroom a natural, unique feel. Each individual tile in the shower was custom cut and polished for a more organic grout pattern, the split face travertine on the pedestals and backsplashes create an organic texture.
