Selecting finishes for a classic, elegant master bath

Back in the summer, I helped my client JD do a plan for her master bathroom. She had a good idea of what she wanted, but she needed a way to present it to potential contractors. Well, present it she did! I think JD met with about ten contractors, and she was thrilled to be able to show them my virtual mock up to give them a visual of what she wanted. Unfortunately, it took that many meetings to find the right guy for the job. At least now she is confident with her choice and demo will be underway soon.


Last week, we went tile shopping in preparation for her to meet with the tile setter. She knew she wanted cararra, so that made my job pretty easy. We found a beautiful basketweave mosaic for inside the shower, and to keep the rest of the bathroom clean looking, we decided to do honed cararra in a 12x12 size, set in a running bond pattern. In addition, JD decided she would like to have chair rail height paneling in the bathroom, to tie this space in with other areas of her stately home.


JD asked if I could present her with another virtual mock up for the tile guy. Sure! The meeting was changed from later in the week to TODAY, and I was able to execute the mock ups just in time.


Here's hoping the demo goes smoothly. Next we shop for the rest of the bathroom!
