In order to make this bathroom feel like part of the new design, we replaced the vanity and plumbing. The vanity top is hammered metal and the faucet and mirror are bronze. The open lower section of the vanity offers a place to add rich woven baskets for storing extra towels, soap and other amenities for overnight guests. Under floor radiant heating was installed making this room especially luxurious. Photography by Erika Bierman

This Houston, Texas River Oaks home went through a complete remodel of their master bathroom. Originally, it was a bland rectangular space with a misplaced shower in the center of the bathroom; partnered with a built-in tub against the window. We redesigned the new space by completely gutting the old bathroom. We decided to make the space flow more consistently by working with the rectangular layout and then created a master bathroom with free-standing tub inside the shower enclosure. The tub was floated inside the shower by the window. Next, we added a large bench seat with an oversized mosaic glass backdrop by Lunada Bay "Agate Taiko. The 9’ x 9’ shower is fully enclosed with 3/8” seamless glass. The furniture-like vanity was custom built with decorative overlays on the mirror doors to match the shower mosaic tile design. Further, we bleached the hickory wood to get the white wash stain on the cabinets. The floor tile is 12" x 24" Athena Sand with a linear mosaic running the length of the room. This tranquil spa bath has many luxurious amenities such as a Bain Ultra Air Tub, "Evanescence" with Brizo Virage Lavatory faucets and fixtures in a brushed bronze brilliance finish. Overall, this was a drastic, yet much needed change for my client.

Elegant en-suite was created in a old veranda space of this beautiful Australian Federation home. Amazing claw foot bath just invites one for a soak!

Custom shower shelves were integrated into the stall. The very, sloped, bottom "shelf" is at a good height, slope, and depth to support a foot while washing or shaving. A custom design feature that many customers have been thrilled with. James C Schell jim@jcschell.com

The powder bath is the perfect place to showcase a bold style and really make a statement. Channeling the best of Hollywood we went dark and glam in this space. Polished black marble flooring provides a stunning contrast to the Sanded Damask Mirror tiles that flank the surrounding walls. No other vanity could possibly suit this space quite like the Miami from Devon & Devon in black lacquer. Above the vanity we selected the Beauty Mirror (also from Devon & Devon) with rich detailed sconces from Kallista. Cabochon Surfaces & Fixtures

This traditional powder room gets a dramatic punch with a petite crystal chandelier, Graham and Brown Vintage Flock wallpaper above the wainscoting, and a black ceiling. The ceiling is Benjamin Moore's Twilight Zone 2127-10 in a pearl finish. White trim is a custom mix. Photo by Joseph St. Pierre.

After completing their kitchen several years prior, this client came back to update their bath shared by their twin girls in this 1930's home. The bath boasts a large custom vanity with an antique mirror detail. Handmade blue glass tile is a contrast to the light coral wall. A small area in front of the toilet features a vanity and storage area with plenty of space to accommodate toiletries for two pre-teen girls.

The powder room has a beautiful sculptural mirror that complements the mercury glass hanging pendant lights. The chevron tiled backsplash adds visual interest while creating a focal wall.
