Spa Like Bath with A Six Foot Tub!

This bathroom was all about utilizing the existing square footage. This was a large bathroom to begin with but poorly laid out for two people to function easily in. A couple things my client had on their must have list included a 6 foot tub, a curb-less shower and plenty of storage for everything they needed to access everyday in the bathroom.

We relocated the shower and tub to allow for a larger that normal tub and giving plenty of light from the cave of a shower they had before. In the shower there was no where to store anything so we installed 2 niches in the pony walls so they visually were hidden and give each person their own space for shower items. Keeping this a clean and minimal space. All the bells and whistles in this spa like shower, body sprays, an hand held and a rain shower head! Something for everyone.

In the tub area we made the perfect relaxing alcove. Free standing 6 foot tub long enough for even the tallest person to lay in and it also features a handheld sprayer. We did a feature wall in a marble and glass diamond mosaic tile which gave a great contract to the larger white tub.

On the vanities we did deep drawers with cut outs for the plumbing to maximize the storage space. We incorporated a pull out laundry bin as well. Her vanity has a lowered countertop for putting on make up with some additional storage above and small shelves and drawers for everyday items.

The color palette we wanted something light, natural looking and easy to clean. The floor we did a 24' square porcelain tile that looks almost seamless with a color match grout. Shower wall tiles are a matte white finish that will hide water spots and be super easy to clean. topping the vanities, shower niches, window sill and pony walls we did a leather finished quartzite. It's natural stone and has a semi matte finish so it gives even more of a natural look instead of a smooth gloss finish.

We framed the large mirrors with a wood build-out going all the way to the ceiling with a crown to top it off. This was a great feature to give the appearance that all the custom cabinetry a more furniture look.

Overall this bathroom feels 10 times bigger than before and has made it a stunning place to spend some time!

Color of 2013: Emerald Green

Green has always been a favorite color of mine. I have green eyes which I think was when I first fell in love with green! Although my eyes are emerald green....they are still green! :)

Rich, saturated colors are so bold and make such a statement in a space. Please are naturally drawn to eye-catching things(such as bright colors) and it stimulates the brain and makes people think! That is how I feel about interiors, in my designs I always have elements that standout on purpose! It creates more interest and keep people in that space longer usually. Well I have yet to use emerald this year in my designs but I am sure it will be used soon with all these beautiful examples of the hue! Enjoy!

 Oh my! These tiles are gorgeous! A stunning use of the color, but make sure you are going to still love it for years to come. They even used the tiles in a vertical and horizontal pattern which gives it more of a modern look!

Love the color but not sure where to bring it in to your space? Well a great way is in a small accent piece, such as a nightstand. Mix it with other patterns and colors for a mixed look! 

 

 Want a quick fix for a bland room? Pillows are a great inexpensive way to bring in color. Whether you change your pillows for the season or every year or so this is a great way to keep your home looking fresh!

   Paint, the other quick fix for adding color. Keeping your furniture neutral is a great way to add accents elsewhere in the room. Like the wall for instance, and a can of paint makes a statement and is easy on the wallet!  

   Bathrooms look great in white but sometimes white can be lonely, which is why a friend is nice to bring in.  Here the emerald is paired nicely with the crisp white on the walls and a few decorative accessories.

 

Hope you guys enjoyed today's inspiration! Fell free to leave a comment.  Tell us what you liked and if you are in need of inspiration and its not here.....we will find you some!

Organize That Kitchen!

Kitchens see the most traffic and use of any of the rooms in your home. So, obviously, it would serve you best if your kitchen were organized with enough storage space. When you take the plunge and tackle a full kitchen renovation, keep every detail in mind. Sure, include lots of cabinets. But spend some time and really think through how little details can make your new kitchen yours. Here are a few ideas I’ve come across and fell in love with. Enjoy.

Don’t be afraid to use hooks for storage if you find yourself short on cabinet real estate. Include a colored wall to liven up your space. 

Do you have limited counter space and or don’t want to display your fifteen appliances all the time? A swinging or sliding shelf is a great way to allow use or access without having to drag a heavy mixer from a cabinet the few times you actually use it. 

Those sponges that are so ugly now have a convenient hiding spot!  Stainless is always a great material for the kitchen too! easy to clean doesn't rust and looks great!

 

Underneath most sinks is a pile of cleaning supplies. I love this idea as a way to organize and again allow access to the entirety of the space. Installing a “U” shaped drawer will help you keep this nice and neat. 

Finding a way to use otherwise wasted space is a necessity in some kitchens. By installing a toe-kick drawer you can store flat items that you may not use often. 

I’ve always hated corner cabinets since my reach is limited. I basically have to crawl into the thing to get items from the back. Very inconvenient to store stuff you use often. These are a fantastic solution as they allow access and visibility to everything.
