For Her Bath, we used a softer, relaxed palette, natural materials and subtle curves in the cabinetry and hardware. To keep the Master Suite(s) as open and light-filled as possible, we used frosted glass walls and doors.

In this master bath, we removed the jacuzzi tub and installed a free standing Compton 70” white acrylic tub. Sienna porcelain tile 12 x 24 in Bianco color was installed on the room floor and walls of the shower. Linear glass/stone/metal accent tile was installed in the shower. The new vanity cabinets are Medalllion Gold, Winslow Flat Panel, Maple Finish in Chai Latte classic paint with Champangne bronze pulls. On the countertop is Silestone 3cm Quartz in Pulsar color with single roundover edge. Delta Cassidy Collection faucets, floor mount tub filler faucet, rain showerhead with handheld slide bar, 24” towel bar, towel ring, double robe hooks, toilet paper holder, 12” and 18” grab bars. Two Kohler rectangular undermount white sinks where installed. Wainscot wall treatment in painted white was installed behind the tub.

Shower remodel with custom tile work.

This Dolomite Marble creates the ideal accent wall and outlines the circlehead window you see here. The perfect contrast to the blue sky outside.

Hamptons inspired with a contemporary Aussie twist, this five-bedroom home in Ryde was custom designed and built by Horizon Homes to the specifications of the owners, who wanted an extra wide hallway, media room, and upstairs and downstairs living areas. The ground floor living area flows through to the kitchen, generous butler's pantry and outdoor BBQ area overlooking the garden.

The bathroom is lined with travertine tiling features a built-in ok-framed medicine cabinet, a stone vanity counter, and a full-height inset mirror. Bruce Hemming
