Master Bath by Los Angeles interior designer Alexandra Rae with blue ming and white thasos, carrara marble and custom cabinets.

Old farmhouses offer charm and character but usually need some careful changes to efficiently serve the needs of today’s families. This blended family of four desperately desired a master bath and walk-in closet in keeping with the exceptional features of the home. At the top of the list were a large shower, double vanity, and a private toilet area. They also requested additional storage for bathroom items. Windows, doorways could not be relocated, but certain nonloadbearing walls could be removed. Gorgeous antique flooring had to be patched where walls were removed without being noticeable. Original interior doors and woodwork were restored. Deep window sills give hints to the thick stone exterior walls. A local reproduction furniture maker with national accolades was the perfect choice for the cabinetry which was hand planed and hand finished the way furniture was built long ago. Even the wood tops on the beautiful dresser and bench were rich with dimension from these techniques. The legs on the double vanity were hand turned by Amish woodworkers to add to the farmhouse flair. Marble tops and tile as well as antique style fixtures were chosen to complement the classic look of everything else in the room. It was important to choose contractors and installers experienced in historic remodeling as the old systems had to be carefully updated. Every item on the wish list was achieved in this project from functional storage and a private water closet to every aesthetic detail desired. If only the farmers who originally inhabited this home could see it now! Matt Villano Photography

Custom work throughout this master bath sets it apart. Starting with a wall hung under-lit 8 foot vanity with built in electric back lit make mirror that gives both Clients their own space at the counter. A separate room closes off the toilet, leaving a generous 6 foot wide shower for two with rain head, custom round seat with rain glass and invisible drain. And for those nights when a good soak is in order, a stand alone soaker tub with private 42 inch fireplace does the trick. "The owner had tried to repair some loose tiles and realized there were bigger problems in their ensuite shower, then called us. In fact there were rot holes right through the floor from years of slow leaking in the shower. The entire bathroom was gutted and redone with see through fireplace, stand alone soaker tub, wall hung custom cabinets." - David Babakaiff, Alair Homes Vancouver Owner “After interviewing several contractors we settled on Alair. David and Adrian were always very responsive and their subtrades were solid and reputable. We're very happy with the results and would definitely recommend them.” - Sam & Rosie Wong, Homeowners ©Ema Peter

Progress

This beautiful unique master bathroom was a remodel from the 80s ( it had the infamous Ivey wall paper!) masterfully designed with clean lines, contemporary flare with Asian and Polynesian accents. The linen cabinet was a beautiful piece of furniture we converted to a linen cabinet.
