The objective of these Danville homeowners was to update their primary bathroom, making more efficient use of their existing space without moving any plumbing. With the desired tub and tub filler in mind, Gayler shopped the country to find what the homeowners wanted. Their old soaking tub took up a lot of room, so it was replaced with a new freestanding tub retrofitted with a polished gold tub filler coming up from the floor. Two large single vanities in a dark stain are topped with white Statuario polished Pental quartz countertops and backsplash. Completing the look is unique polished gold hardware and a large, walk-in shower with a beautiful mosaic feature wall and shower niche. Large wide plank tile floors and soft gray and white patterned wallpaper complete the look.

Master bath remodel. Cobblestone wood cabinets. Double vanity.

Beautiful remodel of master bathroom. This reminds us of our mountain roots with warm earth colors and wood finishes.

In this master bath, a custom-built painted inset vanity with Cambria Luxury Series quartz countertop was installed. Custom cabinets were installed in the closet with a Madera coffee stain wood countertop. Cambria Luxury Series quartz 10’ wall cladding surround was installed on the shower walls. Kohler Demi-Lav sinks in white. Amerock Blackrock hardware in Champagne Bronze and Black Bronze. Emser Larchmont Rue tile was installed on the wall behind the tub.

By eliminating a full height wall on either side of the original shower door, natural light now pours into the shower providing a sense of space in a relatively small shower. A thermostatic shower valve with diverter allows bathers to pick the right right shower head and the right water temperature for their personal comfort. A shampoo shelf is a cleverly disguised grab bar by Invisia. The hand held shower head rests on a wall hook that is adjacent to the fold down shower seat.

Modern adjustable balloon shades for two bathroom windows, brought softness and luxury to this fabulous space. The wonderful high quality embossed pure white fabric was perfect for these window treatments! Privacy or openness is easy with the pull-up design of one strong cord! The rods are also custom created for practical and secure operation, while showing off the beauty of the shades.

This medium sized bathroom had ample space to create a luxurious bathroom for this young professional couple with 3 young children. My clients really wanted a place to unplug and relax where they could retreat and recharge. New cabinets were a must with customized interiors to reduce cluttered counter tops and make morning routines easier and more organized. We selected Hale Navy for the painted finish with an upscale recessed panel door. Honey bronze hardware is a nice contrast to the navy paint instead of an expected brushed silver. For storage, a grooming center to organize hair dryer, curling iron and brushes keeps everything in place for morning routines. On the opposite, a pull-out organizer outfitted with trays for smaller personal items keeps everything at the fingertips. I included a pull-out hamper to keep laundry and towels off the floor. Another design detail I like to include is drawers in the sink cabinets. It is much better to have drawers notched for the plumbing when organizing bathroom products instead of filling up a large base cabinet. The room already had beautiful windows and was bathed in naturel light from an existing skylight. I enhanced the natural lighting with some recessed can lights, a light in the shower as well as sconces around the mirrored medicine cabinets. The best thing about the medicine cabinets is not only the additional storage but when both doors are opened you can see the back of your head. The inside of the cabinet doors are mirrored. Honey Bronze sconces are perfect lighting at the vanity for makeup and shaving. A larger shower for my very tall client with a built-in bench was a priority for this bathroom. I recommend stream showers whenever designing a bathroom and my client loved the idea of that feature as a surprise for his wife. Steam adds to the wellness and health aspect of any good bathroom design. We were able to access a small closet space just behind the shower a perfect spot for the steam unit. In addition to the steam, a handheld shower is another “standard” item in our shower designs. I like to locate these near a bench so you can sit while you target sore shoulder and back muscles. Another benefit is cleanability of the shower walls and being able to take a quick shower without getting your hair wet. The slide bar is just the thing to accommodate different heights. For Mrs. a tub for soaking and relaxing were the main ingredients required for this remodel. Here I specified a Bain Ultra freestanding tub complete with air massage, chromatherapy and a heated back rest. The tub filer is floor mounted and adds another element of elegance to the bath. I located the tub in a bay window so the bather can enjoy the beautiful view out of the window. It is also a great way to relax after a round of golf. Either way, both of my clients can enjoy the benefits of this tub. The tiles selected for the shower and the lower walls of the bathroom are a slightly oversized subway tile in a clean and bright white. The floors are a 12x24 porcelain marble. The shower floor features a flat cut marble pebble tile. Behind the vanity the wall is tiled with Zellage tile in a herringbone pattern. The colors of the tile connect all the colors used in the bath. The final touches of elegance and luxury to complete our design, the soft lilac paint on the walls, the mix of metal materials on the faucets, cabinet hardware, lighting and yes, an oversized heated towel warmer complete with robe hooks. This truly is a space for rejuvenation and wellness.
