Getting ready in the morning is fast and easy with a double-sink vanity. The custom countertop cabinets are like book ends defining the space and providing additional storage. To underscore the sophisticated tone, we chose a neutral palette that allows the rich cabinetry to take center stage.

A master bath gets reinvented into a luxurious spa-like retreat in tranquil shades of aqua blue, crisp whites and rich bittersweet chocolate browns. A mix of materials including glass tiles, smooth riverstone rocks, honed granite and practical porcelain create a great textural palette that is soothing and inviting. The symmetrical vanities were anchored on the wall to make the floorplan feel more open and the clever use of space under the sink maximizes cabinet space. Oversize La Cava vessels perfectly balance the vanity tops and bright chrome accents in the plumbing components and vanity hardware adds just enough of a sparkle. Photo by Pete Maric.

The master bathroom was the first area to address. Arlene Ladegaard of Design Connection, Inc. was chosen among many candidates for her expertise in remodeling. Design plans, elevations for cabinets and tile were as well as all materials. A contractor was chosen by the clients to do the demo and replace the tile and install all the materials chosen by Arlene. The clients loved the idea of a stand-alone tub that became of the focal point of the room. New cabinets were designed with soft close doors and drawers in a washed oak finish. The mirrors were a chrome frame, custom made for the area, while the sconces add an extra design element. The shower was customized for steam with high Euro glass panels and chrome fixtures. The tile accents, the quartz bench and niches an add height and interest to the overall style and design of this custom shower. The clients love their new master bathroom. With newly added lights and natural daylight the room sparkles. It was exactly what they had in mind when they purchased the home. Design Connection, Inc. provided: space plans and elevations, tile, countertops, plumbing, lighting fixtures and project management.

Bathroom created for a 6'5" tall man who wanted his own bathroom. Bathtub was removed to create a shower with a barn door. Shower head and hardware, mirror and vanity was raised for his height. Client wanted neutral colors, so we used greys, whites and beige.
