We undertook a full house renovation of a historic stone mansion that serves as home to DC based diplomats. One of the most immediate challenges was addressing a particularly problematic bathroom located in a guest wing of the house. The miniscule bathroom had such steeply pitched ceilings that showering was nearly impossible and it was difficult to move around without risk of bumping your head. Our solution was to relocate the bathroom to an adjacent sitting room that had 8’ ceilings and was flooded with natural light. At twice the size of the old bathroom, the new location had ample space to create a true second master bathroom complete with soaking tub, walk-in shower and 5’ vanity. We used the same classic marble finishes throughout which provides continuity and maintains the elegant and timeless look befitting this historic mansion. The old bathroom was removed entirely and replaced with a cozy reading nook ready to welcome the most discerning of houseguests.

We love this bathroom's vaulted ceilings, the mirrored vanity cabinets, arched mirrors, and arched entryways.

A double vanity painted in a deep dusty navy blue with a mirror to match. Love the pair of nickel wall lights here and the Leroy Brooks taps. Marble countertop and floor tiles.

A small space was made to feel grand using this deep soaker tub with marble face. Polished Nickel hardware reflects the vintage of the home while white marble walls and Carerra marble floors and slab are a lux addition. Heated floors keep this space always feeling cozy Photo Credit: Soundview Photography
