A serene colour palette with shades of Dulux Bruin Spice and Nood Co peach concrete adds warmth to a south-facing bathroom, complemented by dramatic white floor-to-ceiling shower curtains. Finishes of handmade clay herringbone tiles, raw rendered walls and marbled surfaces adds texture to the bathroom renovation.

A plain powder room with no window or other features was transformed into a glamorous space, with hotel vibes.

The floor is really the focal point here, it kind of works the same way wallpaper would, but -- it’s on the floor. I love this graphic tile, patterned after Moroccan encaustic, or cement tile, but this one is actually porcelain at a very affordable price point and much easier to install than cement tile. Once we had homeowner buy-in on the floor choice, the rest of the space came together pretty easily – we are calling it “transitional, Moroccan, industrial.” Key elements are the traditional vanity, Moroccan shaped mirrors and flooring, and plumbing fixtures, coupled with industrial choices -- glass block window, a counter top that looks like cement but that is actually very functional Corian, sliding glass shower door, and simple glass light fixtures. The final space is bright, functional and stylish. Quite a transformation, don’t you think?

Penny Round Tile

The Carrara marble windowsill ledge creates design touch in the quaint guest bathroom.

An extensive remodel was needed to bring this home back to its glory. A previous remodel had taken all of the character out of the home. The original kitchen was disconnected from other parts of the home. The new kitchen open up to the other spaces while maintaining the home’s integratory. The kitchen is now the center of the home with a large island for gathering. The bathrooms were reconfigured with custom tiles and vanities. We selected classic finishes with modern touches throughout each space.
