Next to main level family rooms, sophisticated "spa-like" master baths are tops on homeowners wish list. Here cool color, a painted white vanity, modern fixtures, and marble counter tops make the bathroom a retreat. Eric & Chelsea Eul Photography

The new hall bath was relocated to an adjacent open play area that the kids had outgrown. We used a marble-look hex tile on the floor; the porcelain is durable and easy to maintain and the Calacatta look provides visual continuity with the ensuite bath. Elongated white subway tile keeps the bathroom feeling light and bright and a deep soaking tub means a relaxing spa-like bath is an option when needed. An open hall cubby space is currently used as the kids’ book nook, but could easily house linens and overflow bath supplies.

I suggested to have a mirrored glass installed on the wall and using Schluter metal trim, frame the mirror and tile around the mirror.

This bathroom had a sloped ceiling towards the closet. The closet area, right of the vanity was too deep, Clients' clothes just got lost in there. The doors when opened cramped the space. The window above the tub did not open, tile in the tub/shower had to be replaced. I selected a mosaic tile to be installed up to the ceiling above the vanity to provide drama. To save my Client money from needing more of this expensive mosaic, I added a wood panel right of the vanity and made sure the panel trim aligned with the height of the vanity to continue the visual line of the vanity. I replaced the closet door with fabric that was installed from the high ceiling and used the same fabric for the shower curtains.

Pool bathroom in a transitional home. 3 Generations share this luxurious bathroom, complete with a shower bench, hand shower and versatile shower head. Custom vanity and countertop design elevate this pool bathroom.

This home has a beautiful ocean view, and the homeowners wanted to connect the inside and outside. We achieved this by removing the entire roof and outside walls in the kitchen and living room area, replacing them with a dramatic steel and wood structure and a large roof overhang. We love the open floor plan and the fun splashes of color throughout this remodel.

The powder room is one of my favorite places to have fun. We added dimensional tile and a glamorous wallpaper, along with a custom vanity in walnut to contrast the cool & metallic tones.

This remodel was for a family moving from Dallas to The Woodlands/Spring Area. They wanted to find a home in the area that they could remodel to their more modern style. Design kid-friendly for two young children and two dogs. You don't have to sacrifice good design for family-friendly

PEBBLE AND RECTANGULAR GLASS TILES from two different makers wrap a band around the bathroom.
