Contemporary curbless tile shower with beige modern linear style porcelain tile on the shower walls in a vertical offset pattern, with flat multicolored pebbles on the shower floor. Included with a tiled corner bench trimmed with a Schluter metal edge.

This beach house was renovated to create an inviting escape for its owners’ as home away from home. The wide open greatroom that pours out onto vistas of sand and surf from behind a nearly removable bi-folding wall of glass, making summer entertaining a treat for the host and winter storm watching a true marvel for guests to behold. The views from each of the upper level bedroom windows make it hard to tell if you have truly woken in the morning, or if you are still dreaming… Photography: Paul Grdina

The outdated 70s hall bath is unrecognizable, its transformation being the most dramatic. This heavenly space now is the host to a gorgeous stylish soaking tub, making the perfect place for relaxation after a long day. Paired is a curb less shower encased in Deep Blue Nocturnal Sea Mosaic tile. Two niches were installed to make storage of shampoo and soaps easy whether the soaker tub or shower is your choice. Stratos Spindrift peddled tiles wrap the entire bathroom floor tying in all the tide-colored hues. A whitecap-colored floating vanity and trough sink creates perfect harmony in this crashing wave colored bath. The wall backlight mirror is the perfect accessory to this revolutionized bath.

Turquoise pebbles from Walker Zanger cover the floor and set the tone for this modern, Zen-inspired bathroom. A floating vanity with a simple slab door front holds the modern white sink. Polished chrome accessories and vanity light further the Zen feel and offer clean look. The tub surround, made up of aqua and cream crackle tiles from Walker Zanger, climb their way up to the aqua blue ceiling. Finishing the look is a turquoise waste basket for an intense pop of color.

This contemporary take on the classic beach house combines the traditional cottage look with contemporary elements. Three floors contain 3,452 SF of living space with four bedrooms, three baths, game room and study. A dramatic three-story foyer with floating staircase, a private third floor master suite and ocean views from almost every room make this a one-of-a-kind home. Deremer Studios

This large master bathroom has a very relaxing feel. The long vanity includes beautiful knotty walnut cabinets and granite counter tops. The large walk-in shower receives natural light through the glass block window and the free-standing tub is functional and fun to look at. Andrea Hanks Photography
