One can naturally envision Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly applying lipstick in this powder bathroom. This small but mighty bathroom feels bold, fresh and perfectly dramatic. The floor tile laid the groundwork for the space and was a selection risk for the homeowners. When you see just 1 or 2 of the Alyse Edwards tiles you don’t get a sense for the big picture pattern as they are a graphic design that weave together. The tile is black and white with a raised black dimensional design in a matte and gloss black color. Graphic and bold, it reflects the stylish times of the art deco days. The brushed brass fixtures were chosen next. Their color is luxe and soft; the perfect color between gold and brass. The homeowner feared that left by herself to make decisions they would be too safe, as she always veered toward choosing things that were mainstream like grays and marbles. Her goal for this bathroom was that it was special and different. She needed help to be pushed outside of her comfort zone. The major push in this space was the all black paint color. It sounded crazy. Where to start and where to stop? […]

This house is beautifully nestled in the Kirkwood Historic District like a New England Homestead. However, prior to the remodel this bathroom looked like an outdated 1980’s dark hole. Yet the homeowner herself exudes beauty, happiness and joy – which was the opposite vibe of her old bathroom. She wanted her new space to be light, bright and cheerful, yet simple and classic; not overly adorned with design accoutrements that can quickly outdate themselves. She desired an oasis where she looked forward to taking her baths and putting on her makeup in the mornings. The outcome achieved these desires and more. She now adores her bathroom. Her canines also enjoy the space as they spend lots of time ‘helping’ her out while she gets ready for the day. Thankfully the quartz countertops can withstand the dogs’ friendly attention as they are durable to the wear and tear but also maintain the beauty of stone. The brushed brass fixtures and champagne gold hardware perfectly accent the champagne glass mosaic tile which are one of her favorite glistening parts. The robin’s egg blue walls mimic the sky on a perfectly sunny day while the crisp white beadboard wood trim partially hugs the […]

  This charming space was once a sitting room turned master retreat.  The cabinetry is Tungsten Mouser Inset with marble tops.  The floor is a water jet cut marble from Walker Zanger.  A marble headboard on the built-in undermount tubs makes the decorative piece look almost furniture like perched in the corner.  The vanities, although not wide, offer tons of drawer and upper storage.  The look is perfectly complimented with stunning light fixtures and antique rugs.  Once again proving the right team of a builder, architects and designers make all the difference!

This modern classic bathroom is located in Clayton, a suburb of St. Louis.  The bathroom vanity design executes the use of clean, sleek wall hung vanities that have alighted toe kick.  The faucets are wall mounted in the backsplash and empty into gray rectangular under mount sinks.  The mirrors discretely hide medicine cabinets and more smart storage.  Behind the wall is where the large shower is tucked away.  The porcelain tile on the floor and shower walls are a meticulous replica of marble without the stress of maintenance.

This cottage bathroom remodel started as a much smaller project.  The addition of 5 feet to the length allowed for this bathroom to become a master bathroom with room to move in the space.  The double vanity sinks are only 18″ deep creating the much-needed clearance for the shower.  Tucked away behind the shower is the makeup cubby that now has room for a linen cabinet.  The bead board walls and ceiling add to the charm and don’t let you forget it’s a cottage within the woods.  In this peaceful retreat, we used a pattern tile porcelain floor in gray and cream colors.  The floor is the focal point in the bathroom design and is the first thing you see when you climb up the stairs.

This cheerful bathroom design incorporates all sorts of small space planning ideas.  The laundry is combined with the bathroom, and a door off the porch allows for the entire space to function as a mudroom in addition to a kids bathroom.   The toilet is tucked away behind the pantry for some privacy and a large laundry sink functions for both laundry and mudroom needs.  The double bowls with long countertop ensure little fighting over space amongst the three kids who reside there.  The white and gray hexagon random pattern floor is a playful and inexpensive way to create geometry and interest.  The bead board walls remind us its a cottage, and we should always be relaxed and have fun when we are there!

This might look like bathroom remodeling in St. Louis but it’s a new construction project from the cheese state of Wisconsin!  Yes, we did learn to love cheese curds over the duration of this project.  Trudging through the snow during a northern winter did not hinder the flow of design ideas on this project.  In fact, while visiting there was nothing better to do than focus on making this space as beautiful and functional as we possibly could.  The dreaming started with the brave pick of this pattern tile floor.  The gray patterned porcelain floor set the stage for everything else we did including the decision to paint the outside of the tub so it would stand out against the white subway tile walls.  Tile design can make or break you both visually and financially in your space.  These tile choices in this bathroom did neither; both tile options were aesthetically pleasing and very budget friendly.  The use of ready made vanity bases helped keep the master bath expenses down.  There was no room for a separate toilet area so we tucked it behind the shower offering a limited view.  The natural wood doors, warm and compliment the gray and […]
