ASID Design Excellence First Place Residential – Kitchen and Bathroom: Michael Merrill Design Studio was approached three years ago by the homeowner to redesign her kitchen. Although she was dissatisfied with some aspects of her home, she still loved it dearly. As we discovered her passion for design, we began to rework her entire home for consistency including this bathroom.

Furniture inspired dual vanities flank the most spectacular soaker tub in the center of the sight lines in this beautiful space. Erin for Visual Comfort lighting and elaborate Venetian mirrors uplevel the sparkle in a breathtaking room.

A complete re-fit was performed in the bathroom, re-working the layout to create an efficient use of a small bathroom space. The design features a stunning light pink onyx marble to the walls, floors & ceiling. Taking advantage of onyx's transparent qualities, hidden lighting was installed above the ceiling slabs, to create a warm glow to the ceiling. This creates an illusion of space, with the added bonus of a relaxing place to end the day.

The statuary marble walls and porcelain tile floor give this master bath a sophisticated and sleek modern look. The unique details, Decotec vanities, Robern mirrors, Dornbracht faucets and stainless steel towel warmers, highlight this fabulous room. Complete with the oval free standing porcelain tub, it is a luxurious space to come home to thanks to our Princeton Design Build team.
