The Fall City Renovation began with a farmhouse on a hillside overlooking the Snoqualmie River valley, about 30 miles east of Seattle. On the main floor, the walls between the kitchen and dining room were removed, and a 25-ft. long addition to the kitchen provided a continuous glass ribbon around the limestone kitchen counter. The resulting interior has a feeling similar to a fire look-out tower in the national forest. Adding to the open feeling, a custom island table was created using reclaimed elm planks and a blackened steel base, with inlaid limestone around the sink area. Sensuous custom blown-glass light fixtures were hung over the existing dining table. The completed kitchen-dining space is serene, light-filled and dominated by the sweeping view of the Snoqualmie Valley. The second part of the renovation focused on the master bathroom. Similar to the design approach in the kitchen, a new addition created a continuous glass wall, with wonderful views of the valley. The blackened steel-frame vanity mirrors were custom-designed, and they hang suspended in front of the window wall. LED lighting has been integrated into the steel frames. The tub is perched in front of floor-to-ceiling glass, next to a curvilinear custom bench in Sapele wood and steel. Limestone counters and floors provide material continuity in the space. Sustainable design practice included extensive use of natural light to reduce electrical demand, low VOC paints, LED lighting, reclaimed elm planks at the kitchen island, sustainably harvested hardwoods, and natural stone counters. New exterior walls using 2x8 construction achieved 40% greater insulation value than standard wall construction. Photo: Benjamin Benschneider

This master bathroom vanity offers plenty of storage and countertop space. The large bathroom mirror helps the space feel open, while the fogged glass pocket door allows neighboring light to shine through as well. Normandy Remodeling

Jane removed the existing tub to make way for a large walk-in shower, complete with an eye-catching contemporary shower panel, contrasting natural bamboo and sleek stainless steel. The rectangular porcelain tile with a bamboo effect was installed vertically to add visual height, while paired with a stone and glass mosaic tile in a wrapped stripe for interest. The glass block window streams natural light through the door-less shower entrance, and can be seen from the bedroom. To continue the functional clean lines, a large vanity with a travertine countertop and integrated double stone sinks was installed. Photography - Grey Crawford

The cherry vanity is topped with a warm, brown-grey, Lagos Azul limestone with a honed finish. A wall-to-wall mirror bounces light and reflects the black doors which become a prominent accent color in the room. The glass doors have frosted glass inserts and lead to the water closet, and walk-in closet. Another pair of matching black doors open to the Master Bedroom allowing natural light to flood the Bathroom without giving up privacy. Limited wall space meant hanging hand towels from the false drawer fronts at each sink. A toe kick heater was installed at the vanity to keep feet warm in the cooler months. Photo: Darren Pellegrino

Husband and wife get ready for work at the same time and wanted a bathroom where both had their own space but they were together and could spend time in conversation while getting ready.

Free standing tub perfectly centered in the corner window. Finished the walls with wainscoting to mimic the cabinets to provide a consistent seamless flow around the bathroom.
