This master bedroom suite was designed and executed for our client’s vacation home. It offers a rustic, contemporary feel that fits right in with lake house living. Open to the master bedroom with views of the lake, we used warm rustic wood cabinetry, an expansive mirror with arched stone surround and a neutral quartz countertop to compliment the natural feel of the home. The walk-in, frameless glass shower features a stone floor, quartz topped shower seat and niches, with oil rubbed bronze fixtures. The bedroom was outfitted with a natural stone fireplace mirroring the stone used in the bathroom and includes a rustic wood mantle. To add interest to the bedroom ceiling a tray was added and fit with rustic wood planks.

This home in Napa off Silverado was rebuilt after burning down in the 2017 fires. Architect David Rulon, a former associate of Howard Backen, known for this Napa Valley industrial modern farmhouse style. Composed in mostly a neutral palette, the bones of this house are bathed in diffused natural light pouring in through the clerestory windows. Beautiful textures and the layering of pattern with a mix of materials add drama to a neutral backdrop. The homeowners are pleased with their open floor plan and fluid seating areas, which allow them to entertain large gatherings. The result is an engaging space, a personal sanctuary and a true reflection of it's owners' unique aesthetic. Inspirational features are metal fireplace surround and book cases as well as Beverage Bar shelving done by Wyatt Studio, painted inset style cabinets by Gamma, moroccan CLE tile backsplash and quartzite countertops.

AFTER: New master bath shower: As mentioned in the previous image, diagonal alignments (with emphasis on drawing the eye to corners) is essential in creating a greater sense of space in a smallish room. Here the eye is drawn to high corner windows, echoing the corner windows on the adjacent corner, with pebble-backed niches, also snug to corner, mimicing the windows’ configuration below. Centrally-located tatami mat-styled porcelain tile continues into the shower area, providing a sense of seamless transition into the curbless shower, with texturally-rich pebble flooring beyond.

Believe it or not, this vanity design was original to the bathroom. With the help of new cabinetry, vessel sinks and a granite countertop, we were able to still keep the existing functionality but update the look. Photography Credit: Mike Irby
