This transformation started with a builder grade bathroom and was expanded into a sauna wet room. With cedar walls and ceiling and a custom cedar bench, the sauna heats the space for a relaxing dry heat experience. The goal of this space was to create a sauna in the secondary bathroom and be as efficient as possible with the space. This bathroom transformed from a standard secondary bathroom to a ergonomic spa without impacting the functionality of the bedroom. This project was super fun, we were working inside of a guest bedroom, to create a functional, yet expansive bathroom. We started with a standard bathroom layout and by building out into the large guest bedroom that was used as an office, we were able to create enough square footage in the bathroom without detracting from the bedroom aesthetics or function. We worked with the client on her specific requests and put all of the materials into a 3D design to visualize the new space.

Waschtisch

Sleek and contemporary, the Soul Collection by Starpool is designed with a dynamic range of finishes and footprints to fit any aesthetic. This fully encapsulated sauna and steam room pair is shown in Pure Soul - a light and airy color scheme with walls and doors in ivory white finishes.

Designed by Cat Neitzey of Reico Kitchen & Bath in Fredericksburg, VA in collaboration with Good Bees Remodeling, this primary bathroom features Merillat Classic cabinets in the Glenrock 5-piece drawer front door style in Maple with a Nightfall finish. The countertop is a 72” Virginia Marble cultured marble double bowl vanity top in Pewter with Wave Bowls and a 1.5" Bullnose Edge. Additionally, the bathroom also features: Moen Eva fixtures and accessories, including robe hook, towel ring, towel bar, lighting and vanity sink faucets; Moen Flara shower faucet; Moen handheld showering; Sterling Glass Custom Serenity Brushed Stainless Tempered Glass/Flat Polished Shower Surround/Slider; and CDA Elegance Iconic Blue 24” x 48” floor tiles with Roman herringbone pattern inlay. Said Cat, “It is fun working with clients who favor bold selections. They did a great job making choices to blend this transitional bathroom into their traditional style home. The modern, bold color and variation from the tile juxtapose nicely with the Roman herringbone pattern in the tile to create the spa retreat they were hoping for. In the shower, the tile was hand selected to show the colors ombre from dark to light above the accent lines. I especially love the 24”x 48” tiles used vertically below the accent. It allows you to really see the beauty in the variation of the tile.” Added the client, “I really like how the shower tile extends across the entire wall to include the tub area.” Photos courtesy of Tim Snyder Photography.
