Award-Winning Bathroom Design (1st Place) by Gary Potter, CKD, CBD. Featured in Better Homes & Gardens, September/October 2008 Edition. These homeowners were tired of sharing a main bathroom with their two children and decided to renovate their home by adding a second floor to their 1950's Etobicoke bungalow. This allowed them to carve out a space for an ensuite bathroom. The influence for this spa-like bathroom was inspired by a trip the homeowners recently returned from, where they celebrated an anniversary at a luxurious resort in Bali. The natural elements and tones in this space, such as the cherry cabinetry, the river rock that flows from the shower to the vanity, the earthy granite countertop and threshold and natural light emitted from the skylight overhead all contribute to a feeling of serenity and relaxation.

Keeping the integrity of the existing style is important to us — and this Rio Del Mar cabin remodel is a perfect example of that. For this special bathroom update, we preserved the essence of the original lathe and plaster walls by using a nickel gap wall treatment. The decorative floor tile and a pebbled shower call to mind the history of the house and its beach location. The marble counter, and custom towel ladder, add a natural, modern finish to the room that match the homeowner's unique designer flair.

In this master bath, we wanted to create the feeling of being outdoors by using stacked stones. To add visual interest to the space and to create tactile element on the floor we designed a rug pattern using quartzite inset into the tile floor. Photography: Blue Gator Photography

A warm and earthy bathroom style is appreciated in the northeast. A fun beach-styled new shower with pebble tiles installed vertically is juxtaposed next to a new freestanding spa-like tub from American manufacturer MTI baths. Custom cherry vanities provide plenty of storage in this comfortable master bath remodeled for the homeowners personal retreat in their beautiful home.

A new & improved bathroom, offering our client a locker room/spa feel. We wanted to maximize space, so we custom built shelves throughout the walls and designed a large but seamless shower. The shower is a Kohler DTV+ system complete with a 45-degree angle door, a steam component, therapy lighting, and speakers. Lastly, we spruced up all the tiles with a gorgeous satin finish - including the quartz curb, counter and shower seat.
