A 'hidden gem' within this home. It is dressed in a soft lavender wallcovering and the dynamic amethyst mirror is the star of this little space. Its golden accents are mimicked in the crystal door knob and satin oro-brass facet that tops a re-purposed antiqued dresser, turned vanity.

One of two bathrooms in the pool house - this one is the "Womens' Bath" with feminine touches, custom designed vanity/ mirror, and white marble tile.

New transitional modern bathroom remodel using shaker cabinets and subway tile. Updating two of three bathrooms in a Silicon Valley home with a complete remodel of each bathroom. One bathroom has a timeless shaker and subway tile white on white style and the other has a contemporary dark and moody shaker and glass tile style.

Installing two slide out shelves with side shelf caddies increased the usable space under this bathroom sink cabinet. Organization and storage is simple and easy when you can roll out all your space to you!

Peter Rymwid Architectural Photography. A total remodel to the second floor of the home allowed for complete redesign of the master suite including the master bathroom. Priority number one for this new master bath was to create an environment where the client could close the door to escape and recharge. For this an oversized air tub for two and a generous steam shower were absolute necessities. By placing the tub on a bed of flat cut river stone tiles a feeling of floating on a pond is created. The windows above the tub were left unadorned to bring more of the outside in from the private acreage beyond the windows The same tile is repeated on the shower floor. A large bench tucked into the shower allows the user to stretch out and enjoy the steam. Privacy for this young professional family was also an important feature. A separate commode room mirrors the shape of the shower and a recessed entrance to the bath creates privacy from the bedroom. Easy care porcelain tiles are used on the floor and wall behind the vanity. The same crisp white subway tile pattern is repeated in the shower. A white vanity with strong furniture lines and details provides all the storage you could want. Easy maintenance quartz counter tops repeat the white and grey marble patterned floor tiles. Beautiful framed mirrors reflect light throughout the room. Black crystal knobs adorn the cabinets and continue the black accent details. Polished chrome fittings and light fixtures with crystal accents add to the glam while the black shades and color accents provide the edge. Granite, a rich paint color from Benjamin Moore adds just the right amount of dramatic color to the walls. The subtle glimmer of glass tile and crystal details combined with the black color of the flat stone tile and the cabinet hardware meld the world of glamorous luxury and edgy style.
