This claw foot tub was strategically placed to take full advantage of the tropical landscaping while enjoying the sea breeze from the windows. Wave mosaic tile borders complement the seaside location while the coral and cream marble neatly ties into the toile in the adjacent bedroom and the fabric-lined glass cabinets add a classic French touch.

The "pirate bathroom" is my favorite. Limestone was used on the floor and in a variety of shapes and sizes in the shower. The blue interior of the claw foot tub is a fun ode to the pirate and his ocean.

The homeowners opted to forego the typical tile bath surround and chose a warm white painted beadboard at plate-rail height for the bathroom walls. The room features a classic white claw-foot tub. The fixtures with column-like details echo the classic architecture of the home. The hex tile has a black border and white field. The radiator cover is custom.

We love these oil-brushed shower fixtures and they way they complement the accent tiles on their left! A mixer controls water flow from the shower head to the handheld, which is mounted on a bar to be slid up and down.

Bathroom remodel. Wanted to keep the vintage charm with new refreshed finishes. New marble flooring, new claw foot tub, custom glass shower.

If ever there was an ugly duckling, this master bath was it. While the master bedroom was spacious, the bath was anything but with its 30” shower, ugly cabinetry and angles everywhere. To become a beautiful swan, a bath with enlarged shower open to natural light and classic design materials that reflect the homeowners’ Parisian leanings was conceived. After all, some fairy tales do have a happy ending. By eliminating an angled walk-in closet and relocating the commode, valuable space was freed to make an enlarged shower with telescoped walls resulting in room for toiletries hidden from view, a bench seat, and a more gracious opening into the bath from the bedroom. Also key was the decision for a single vanity thereby allowing for two small closets for linens and clothing. A lovely palette of white, black, and yellow keep things airy and refined. Charming details in the wainscot, crown molding, and six-panel doors as well as cabinet hardware, Laurent door style and styled vanity feet continue the theme. Custom glass shower walls permit the bather to bask in natural light and feel less closed in; and beautiful carrera marble with black detailing are the perfect foil to the polished nickel fixtures in this luxurious master bath.
