A person’s home is the place where their personality can flourish. In this client’s case, it was their love for their native homeland of Kenya, Africa. One of the main challenges with these space was to remain within the client’s budget. It was important to give this home lots of character, so hiring a faux finish artist to hand-paint the walls in an African inspired pattern for powder room to emphasizing their existing pieces was the perfect solution to staying within their budget needs. Each room was carefully planned to showcase their African heritage in each aspect of the home. The main features included deep wood tones paired with light walls, and dark finishes. A hint of gold was used throughout the house, to complement the spaces and giving the space a bit of a softer feel.

These homeowners adore their home just the way it is, but even they had to admit when it was time to remodel their bathrooms. Bringing this beautiful space up to date gave them a whole new room to love. Just like the video says, let’s start with that tub! An acrylic, freestanding tub made by Jacuzzi, placed artfully in the corner of the room. It is 66 inches long, and almost 24 inches tall, plenty of room to relax in this soaker tub. A new pony wall behind it decked out in a porcelain tile that matches the shower, with a chrome valve and filler, and topped with a quartz mantle that matches the rest of the counter tops. Under the tub is an artsy flat pebble mosaic cut into the porcelain tile mimicking wood planked floors. The cabinets are all original, just refinished during the remodel, but topped with new custom quartz countertops from Arizona Tile. Two undermount sinks, Moen chrome faucets, custom framed mirrors, and new chrome vanity lights finish the area. Across the room you will find a make up counter that also boasts all the same materials as the vanities. The shower is stunning, shaped in the formation of a C, as you walk in and curve around as you walk in towards the single valve faucet topped with a multi-function shower head. An ebbe drain that includes a hair catch lays amongst the matching pebble mosaic flooring as under the tub area. Three 15” niches provide plenty of space for your products, with the pebble mosaic backing, and matching quartz shelves to extend the shelf space. Commercially rated 12x24 porcelain tile, and a ribbon of the pebble mosaic go from floor to ceiling. A simple foot rest in the corner, two moisture resistant, recessed lights, towel hooks in the drying area, and a new, high powered exhaust fan just add all the convenience you could ask for.

By mixing multiple types of stones along with a naturally stained wood trim, we were able to transform a water closet into an actual designed area.
