The floating vanity cabinetry is anchored at one end with a split linen cabinet that provides towel and linen storage for the master suite. Drawer banks on either side of the matching under mount vanity sinks provide personal storage while a center set of drawers conceals a built in hamper. The sweeping mirror visually opens up the space, the reflected barn door and sophisticated stainless mounting hardware manufactured by the client, becomes a focal point on entering the vanity area, instead of being a hidden element. The hanging pendant lights are an unexpected design element in this bathroom. The concrete floors with polished aggregate highlights provide a textural element in the space, while the warm wood accents seen in the barn door and baseboard trim add a touch of warmth, softening the stark contrast between the dark cherry cabinetry and white recycled glass quartz counter tops.

Filled with light from the new central courtyard, the bright airy bathroom features hand made encaustic cement tiles as a backdrop to the freestanding solid copper bath. Compressed cement sheeting wall lining and concrete floor with in floor heating provide a robust modern bathhouse to the home. Laundry and storage services are hidden behind folding door panels.

Square glass tile in shades of blue was used on the entire wall in this bathroom to mimic the blues that are found in the lake outside the home. The pendants are vintage and were rescued from the original cottage that was on the property. Dark stained maple cabinets and white quartz countertops were used to ground the bathroom.

The Master Bath offers a freestanding tub, huge walk-in shower, private water closet, and lots of counter-top space. The tub features a stone backs-plash with separate hand shower and filler water controls. The tub filler is handmade from copper piping. There is a glass pane behind the tub that overlooks into the shower. The spacious walk-in shower offers room for the entire family, but it works just as well for one or two people. The water closet has its own space offering extra privacy.

This bathroom was updated with epoxy reflective floors with a matte finish. A solid epoxy countertop matched with a bright interior paint. It's amazing what fresh aqua blue & coral pinks can brighten & update a room.
