Having two boys, the old pink bath just wouldn't work. The challenge was to come up with something that the boys could grow in to and a design that wouldn't quickly lose it's appeal. The navy blue vanity became the focal point and the bronze hardware gave it a masculine edge. Matte white subway tile paired with a light grey grout added a bit of interest to the walls. Wood grain tile in a light grey was chosen to make the space look larger and brighter. The large oval mirrors paired with mini-pendants added some depth and interest as well.

An updated main, guest bathroom that is not only stylish but functional with built in storage.

Great kids bath with trough sink and built in cabinets. Tile backsplash and custom mirror.

A small but fully equipped bathroom with a warm, bluish green on the walls and ceiling. Geometric tile patterns are balanced out with plants and pale wood to keep a natural feel in the space.

This 80's style Mediterranean Revival house was modernized to fit the needs of a bustling family. The home was updated from a choppy and enclosed layout to an open concept, creating connectivity for the whole family. A combination of modern styles and cozy elements makes the space feel open and inviting. Photos By: Paul Vu

Free ebook, CREATING THE IDEAL KITCHEN Download now → http://bit.ly/idealkitchen The hall bath for this client started out a little dated with its 1970’s color scheme and general wear and tear, but check out the transformation! The floor is really the focal point here, it kind of works the same way wallpaper would, but -- it’s on the floor. I love this graphic tile, patterned after Moroccan encaustic, or cement tile, but this one is actually porcelain at a very affordable price point and much easier to install than cement tile. Once we had homeowner buy-in on the floor choice, the rest of the space came together pretty easily – we are calling it “transitional, Moroccan, industrial.” Key elements are the traditional vanity, Moroccan shaped mirrors and flooring, and plumbing fixtures, coupled with industrial choices -- glass block window, a counter top that looks like cement but that is actually very functional Corian, sliding glass shower door, and simple glass light fixtures. The final space is bright, functional and stylish. Quite a transformation, don’t you think?
