Master bath tub deck and countertop in vein cut travertine dovetail with the shower glass. The stained glass motif matches that of the other glazing in the house and provides privacy for our client.

Honed travertine and Sumi-e glass mosaic tiles form the master bathroom shower featuring a full width niche and curved bench.

This Connecticut couple transformed their outdated, cramped master bathroom into a soothing Caribbean retreat. By maximizing the existing space and smoothing the transition between features, the designers at Simply Baths, Inc. helped the homeowners achieve a space that is as functional as it is fashionable.

Built in 1998, the 2,800 sq ft house was lacking the charm and amenities that the location justified. The idea was to give it a "Hawaiiana" plantation feel. Exterior renovations include staining the tile roof and exposing the rafters by removing the stucco soffits and adding brackets. Smooth stucco combined with wood siding, expanded rear Lanais, a sweeping spiral staircase, detailed columns, balustrade, all new doors, windows and shutters help achieve the desired effect. On the pool level, reclaiming crawl space added 317 sq ft. for an additional bedroom suite, and a new pool bathroom was added. On the main level vaulted ceilings opened up the great room, kitchen, and master suite. Two small bedrooms were combined into a fourth suite and an office was added. Traditional built-in cabinetry and moldings complete the look.
