What could be better than a bath in a beautiful quiet space at the end of a long day. This bathroom in Chapel Hill provides a tranquil retreat for the homeowner or guests. Soothing sage green walls and white and gray tile contrast with the beautiful dark lyptus cabinets. A soft curve provides a little extra space for the perfect oval sink. White fixtures and satin nickel hardware stand out nicely against this beautiful backdrop. The countertop, made from recycled glass, adds a nice clean finish to an already stunning space. copyright 2011 marilyn peryer photography

Adding double faucets in a wall mounted sink to this guest bathroom is such a fun way for the kids to brush their teeth. Keeping the walls white and adding neutral tile and finishes makes the room feel fresh and clean.

This master bathroom features a unique concrete tub, a doorless glass shower and a custom vanity.

Custom concrete shower shelves were added to the shower wall to bring interest to an otherwise large and vacant surface and provide additional areas for bathing products, candles or decor. Photography by Paul Linnebach

This modern lake house is located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The residence overlooks a mountain lake with expansive mountain views beyond. The design ties the home to its surroundings and enhances the ability to experience both home and nature together. The entry level serves as the primary living space and is situated into three groupings; the Great Room, the Guest Suite and the Master Suite. A glass connector links the Master Suite, providing privacy and the opportunity for terrace and garden areas. Won a 2013 AIANC Design Award. Featured in the Austrian magazine, More Than Design.

To still achieve that chic, modern rustic look - walls were kept in white and contrasting that is a dark gray painted door. A vanity made of concrete with a black metal base takes the modern appeal even further and we paired that with faucets and framed mirrors finished in black as well. An industrial dome pendant in black serves as the main lighting and industrial caged bulb pendants are placed by the mirrors as accent lighting.
