Guest Bathroom

Designer: Kristie Schneider CKBR, UDCP Photographer: Nathan Lewis Contrasting hexagonal black and white tile at the floor was considered with a thoughtful pattern. The 3 x 6 subway ceramic tile at the shower walls, wainscoting and decorative black liners allowed for a timeless rhythmic feel that can easily be recognized from the early century era. Equally, echoing small details like a black toilet seat, black painted window sashes, glass cabinet and door knobs all transformed this bathroom into a near replica of the original space.

Black Rock was awarded the contract to remodel the Highlands Recreation Pool house. The facility had not been updated in a decade and we brought it up to a more modern and functional look.

Dorchester, MA -- “Deco Primary Bath and Attic Guest Bath” Design Services and Construction. A dated primary bath was re-imagined to reflect the homeowners love for their period home. The addition of an attic bath turned a dark storage space into charming guest quarters. A stunning transformation.

A small bungalow in NE Portland was in need of a bathroom update. It was a quant space with original olive green shower surround and undistinguishable finishes. It did however have beautiful original trim and built ins that were important to keep. The homeowner was brave enough to go with a bold design which paid off in the end. Large hex tiles in dark gray were installed on the floors and half way up the walls to create a dramatic look. Subway tiles were applied to the upper half of the shower divided by a small glass tile liner. The original medicine cabinet, trim, and door knobs were kept to add a unique touch to the newly designed space.
