Coastal style powder room remodeling in Alexandria VA with blue vanity, blue wall paper, and hardwood flooring.

Guest bathroom with walk-in shower

This 5,200-square foot modern farmhouse is located on Manhattan Beach’s Fourth Street, which leads directly to the ocean. A raw stone facade and custom-built Dutch front-door greets guests, and customized millwork can be found throughout the home. The exposed beams, wooden furnishings, rustic-chic lighting, and soothing palette are inspired by Scandinavian farmhouses and breezy coastal living. The home’s understated elegance privileges comfort and vertical space. To this end, the 5-bed, 7-bath (counting halves) home has a 4-stop elevator and a basement theater with tiered seating and 13-foot ceilings. A third story porch is separated from the upstairs living area by a glass wall that disappears as desired, and its stone fireplace ensures that this panoramic ocean view can be enjoyed year-round. This house is full of gorgeous materials, including a kitchen backsplash of Calacatta marble, mined from the Apuan mountains of Italy, and countertops of polished porcelain. The curved antique French limestone fireplace in the living room is a true statement piece, and the basement includes a temperature-controlled glass room-within-a-room for an aesthetic but functional take on wine storage. The takeaway? Efficiency and beauty are two sides of the same coin.

The bathroom got a fresh, updated look by adding an accent wall of blue grass cloth wallpaper, a bright white vanity with a vessel sink and a mirror and lighting with a woven material to add texture and warmth to the space.

This guest bathroom remodel was designed to mirror the coastal experience of Virginia Beach, by introducing driftwood tiles and quiet tones of gray and blue.

Beautiful white and blue tiled shower with tile from Wayne Tile in NJ. The accent floor of blue hexagon tile with the white, and wood-like floors have a beachy vibe. The white subway tile has a handcrafted appeal with its wavy finish to add subtle interest. The window doubles as a shower niche while letting in natural light.
