This double bath renovation was done after the client's children left for college and both bathrooms needed some attention. These bathrooms were designed with a modern aesthetic and interpreted through a warm lens. I researched, selected and recommended the design direction of each bath so that they related but the two still had their own feel. We used high end plumbing and cabinetry throughout. Subtle use of color and texture warm up each space and make each one unique. Photo credit: Peter Lyons

The honeycomb tile leads up to a 5" shelf over the vanity.

This Waukesha bathroom remodel was unique because the homeowner needed wheelchair accessibility. We designed a beautiful master bathroom and met the client’s ADA bathroom requirements. Original Space The old bathroom layout was not functional or safe. The client could not get in and out of the shower or maneuver around the vanity or toilet. The goal of this project was ADA accessibility. ADA Bathroom Requirements All elements of this bathroom and shower were discussed and planned. Every element of this Waukesha master bathroom is designed to meet the unique needs of the client. Designing an ADA bathroom requires thoughtful consideration of showering needs. Open Floor Plan – A more open floor plan allows for the rotation of the wheelchair. A 5-foot turning radius allows the wheelchair full access to the space. Doorways – Sliding barn doors open with minimal force. The doorways are 36” to accommodate a wheelchair. Curbless Shower – To create an ADA shower, we raised the sub floor level in the bedroom. There is a small rise at the bedroom door and the bathroom door. There is a seamless transition to the shower from the bathroom tile floor. Grab Bars – Decorative grab bars were installed in the shower, next to the toilet and next to the sink (towel bar). Handheld Showerhead – The handheld Delta Palm Shower slips over the hand for easy showering. Shower Shelves – The shower storage shelves are minimalistic and function as handhold points. Non-Slip Surface – Small herringbone ceramic tile on the shower floor prevents slipping. ADA Vanity – We designed and installed a wheelchair accessible bathroom vanity. It has clearance under the cabinet and insulated pipes. Lever Faucet – The faucet is offset so the client could reach it easier. We installed a lever operated faucet that is easy to turn on/off. Integrated Counter/Sink – The solid surface counter and sink is durable and easy to clean. ADA Toilet – The client requested a bidet toilet with a self opening and closing lid. ADA bathroom requirements for toilets specify a taller height and more clearance. Heated Floors – WarmlyYours heated floors add comfort to this beautiful space. Linen Cabinet – A custom linen cabinet stores the homeowners towels and toiletries. Style The design of this bathroom is light and airy with neutral tile and simple patterns. The cabinetry matches the existing oak woodwork throughout the home.

Extraordinary renovation of this waterfront retreat on Lake Cherokee! Situated on almost 1 acre and over 300 feet of coveted water frontage in a quiet cul-de-sac in Huguenot Farms, this 3 bedroom 3 bath home boasts stunning views of the lake as soon as you walk into the foyer. To the left is the dining room that connects to the kitchen and leads into a private office through a pocket door. The well-appointed kitchen has granite countertops, stainless steel Frigidaire appliances, two-toned cabinetry, an 8’ x 4’ island with farmhouse sink and view overlooking the lake and unique bar area with floating shelves and beverage cooler. Spacious pantry is accessed through another pocket door. Open kitchen flows into the family room, boasting abundant natural light and spectacular views of the water. Beautiful gray-stained hardwood floors lead down the hall to the owner’s suite (also with a great view of the lake), featuring granite countertops, water closet and oversized, frameless shower. Laundry room and 2 nicely-sized bedrooms that share a full bath with dual vanity finish off the main floor. Head downstairs to the huge rec/game room with wood-burning fireplace and two sets of double, full-lite doors that lead out to the lake. Off of the rec room is a study/office or fourth bedroom with full bath and walk-in closet, unfinished storage area with keyless entry and large, attached garage with potential workshop area.

This bathroom was carefully thought-out for great function and design for 2 young girls. We completely gutted the bathroom and made something that they both could grow in to. Using soft blue concrete Moroccan tiles on the floor and contrasted it with a dark blue vanity against a white palette creates a soft feminine aesthetic. The white finishes with chrome fixtures keep this design timeless.

Mark Ehlen Creative The hall guest bath boasts a lot of fun, with Kohler Purist in Rose Gold and a navy blue inset cabinet as the foundation for design. Champagne penny tiles and textured white subway tiles tie the warm and cool tones together, and custom ombre wall painting give the space just a little extra vibe. Luxury vinyl tiles on the floor ground the style with traditionalism, and keep your feet warm, too.

Для ванной выбрали недорогую плитку, чтобы она не смотрелась скучно и избито, разложили ее елочкой. Уюта небольшому помещению добавила тканевая шторка в полоску и картина из любимого произведения хозяйки. Фото: Василий Буланов
