Our client, designer and builder Ken Koonce, chose our Cluny cement tile design in a crisp black-and-white color combination for an expansive bathroom. The cement tiles' pattern brings a bit of tradition to an otherwise contemporary-feeling space. Special thanks to designer/builder/photographer: Ken Koonce for the use of the photograph.

A unique feature that was added in the shower was a foot rest bar.

The detail of the bench continuing through the shower glass adds interest to the space.

DOWNLOAD NOW   This charming little attic bath was an infrequently used guest bath located on the 3rd floor right above the master bath that we were also remodeling. The beautiful original leaded glass windows open to a view of the park and small lake across the street. A vintage claw foot tub sat directly below the window. This is where the charm ended though as everything was sorely in need of updating. From the pieced-together wall cladding to the exposed electrical wiring and old galvanized plumbing, it was in definite need of a gut job. Plus the hardwood flooring leaked into the bathroom below which was priority one to fix. Once we gutted the space, we got to rebuilding the room. We wanted to keep the cottage-y charm, so we started with simple white herringbone marble tile on the floor and clad all the walls with soft white shiplap paneling. A new clawfoot tub/shower under the original window was added. Next, to allow for a larger vanity with more storage, we moved the toilet over and eliminated a mish mash of storage pieces. We discovered that with separate hot/cold supplies that were the only thing available for a claw foot tub with a shower kit, building codes require a pressure balance valve to prevent scalding, so we had to install a remote valve. We learn something new on every job! There is a view to the park across the street through the home’s original custom shuttered windows. Can’t you just smell the fresh air? We found a vintage dresser and had it lacquered in high gloss black and converted it into a vanity. The clawfoot tub was also painted black. Brass lighting, plumbing and hardware details add warmth to the room, which feels right at home in the attic of this traditional home. We love how the combination of traditional and charming come together in this sweet attic guest bath. Truly a room with a view!

This 19th century inspired bathroom features a custom reclaimed wood vanity designed and built by Ridgecrest Designs, curbless and single slope walk in shower. The combination of reclaimed wood, cement tiles and custom made iron grill work along with its classic lines make this bathroom feel like a parlor of the 19th century.
