Soft greige Shaker cabinets and white tile make for a classic bathroom. The floor tile is so gorgeous and is varying shades of beige, taupe and white which set the tone for our overall color palette. This bathroom layout was an original 1950's design with a very small vanity and small shower. To enlarge the vanity and shower, we reconfigured the floor plan. The new floor plan includes a double vanity and a corner shower with glass enclosure and soaking tub.

Finding a home is not easy in a seller’s market, but when my clients discovered one—even though it needed a bit of work—in a beautiful area of the Santa Cruz Mountains, they decided to jump in. Surrounded by old-growth redwood trees and a sense of old-time history, the house’s location informed the design brief for their desired remodel work. Yet I needed to balance this with my client’s preference for clean-lined, modern style. Suffering from a previous remodel, the galley-like bathroom in the master suite was long and dank. My clients were willing to completely redesign the layout of the suite, so the bathroom became the walk-in closet. We borrowed space from the bedroom to create a new, larger master bathroom which now includes a separate tub and shower. The look of the room nods to nature with organic elements like a pebbled shower floor and vertical accent tiles of honed green slate. A custom vanity of blue weathered wood and a ceiling that recalls the look of pressed tin evoke a time long ago when people settled this mountain region. At the same time, the hardware in the room looks to the future with sleek, modular shapes in a chic matte black finish. Harmonious, serene, with personality: just what my clients wanted.

This Master Bathroom was designed to create a feel of elegant serenity. There was no natural light in the space, so we wanted it to feel bright but warm. We used a combination of light warm gray tones paired with the gleam of polished nickel. A 48" shower with a notched galss around a half wall used 3 shower heads - a rain head, a fixed head & a Flipside handshower. The lav faucets & roman bath filler with side spray are from Kohler's Pinstripe collection in polished nickel. The splurge tiem in this bathroom is Kohler's 72x42 Underscore undermount bathtub featuring Vibracoustic sound technology & a Bask heated surface for true relaxation. The cabinetry is from Mouser Custom Cabinetry in the Lenox door style with a very special Glacier finish to create a brushed look that adds some subtle visual texture. Ladena sinks, Robern recessed medicine cabinets, and Cinza from Pentalquartz were also used. Photography by: Kyle J Caldwell
