The objective for this Get-A-Way was to create an oasis inspired by natural elements. By adding a luxurious soaking bath and shower to their detached studio above the garage, we created a calming, spa-like retreat for the homeowners to relax and enjoy after riding horses or spending time outdoors. The space also doubles as a guest house, where they now have a waitlist.

Guest bathroom remodel included new cabinetry and granite counter, additional industrial style lighting, new tub/shower area with tile surround, tile flooring

I have been working as a kitchen and bath designer in the Pacific Northwest for 13 years. I love engaging with new clients, ascertaining their needs through various interviews and meetings and then collaborating as we build their finished concept together. The variety of design styles, room layouts and function changes so much between one person and the next that no two finished products are remotely the same. This fluidity allows for endless possibilities for exploration in my field. It keeps the job interesting and has always given me a particular sense of reward and accomplishment as we near completion. The greatest personal recompense in this chosen profession is being able to walk with a client through this process and come out the other side with that client feeling elated with the end result.

Splendid bathroom with new white double hung window we installed with partial privacy glass. This delightful and bright bathroom in pale yellows and white looks beautiful with this new replacement windows we installed, with obscured glass in the lower sash for added privacy.

This shower was a total gut job so it was perfect to frame out for these deep niches. If you plan ahead, you can create a lot of extra storage space. Photo Credit: N. Leonard
