From inspiration pics to reality: elegant, classic master bath!

New carrara shower and custom vanity


















With the exception of a few finishing touches, this classic master bath is complete. The client had the inspiration pics, and I helped her choose all the elements to make the inspiration become her new master bath reality.

Before: vanity area
Before: shower
Before: door to hallway was removed
12x12 carrara marble tiles set in a running bond pattern create a luxurious backdrop for the bath. Soft gray grout creates a graphic element to the tile design that white would not.  The perfect creamy off-white was chosen for the vanity, wainscoting and trim to complement the tile without making it look too gray as can happen when the wrong white is chosen with this type of marble. Gray upper walls and ceiling wrap the space and feel atmospheric, not heavy. Chrome and glass accents are the jewelry in this glamorous retreat.

Check out some befores (above) and afters (below). The entire space was reinvented, and the new bath complements the stately home perfectly.
