With a handpainted floor tile and soft green San Gabriel Glazed Thin Brick, this master bathroom is a serene getaway. DESIGN Annette Vartanian PHOTOS Bethany Nauert Tile Shown: Glazed Thin Brick in San Gabriel; Uni Mountain in Black & White Motif

This indoor/outdoor master bath was a pleasure to be a part of. This one of a kind bathroom brings in natural light from two areas of the room and balances this with modern touches. We used dark cabinetry and countertops to create symmetry with the white bathtub, furniture and accessories.

This contemporary project is set in the stunning backdrop of Los Altos Hills. The client's desire for a serene calm space guided our approach with carefully curated pieces that supported the minimalist architecture. Clean Italian furnishings act as an extension of the home's lines and create seamless interior balance.

This full house rebuild in Collaroy saw the transformation of a fibro beach shack into a contemporary family home.

We took this ordinary master bath/bedroom and turned it into a more functional, eye-candy, and updated retreat. From the faux brick wall in the master bath, floating bedside table from Wheatland Cabinets, sliding barn door into the master bath, free-standing tub, Restoration Hardware light fixtures, and custom vanity. All right in the heart of the Chicago suburbs.
