For starters, we wanted this room to be a bit distinctive. I started with the tile mosaic floor. It took some time to install - but I'm really pleased with it. The outer edge is a travertine marble called 'Cafe au Lait'. The ovals are a blend of 3 different marbles and the center is a grecian white marble. What do you think?
And I echoed the banding in the floor with this accent marble stripe around the tub surround. And since we have a cathedral ceiling in here, I took the tub surround up extra high!
We used a half wall at the end of the tub. I've done this in several houses (including one of our own) because 1) it keeps the bathroom open and bright and 2) you can use a shower curtain at the end of the shower, but in reality, very little water makes it that far (and the wall cap is made of PVC, so no worries about moisture).To add a little more light, we included the Restoration Hardware pendant. I love that it is glass on the top and bottom, adding more light into the room.
I've already talked about our very cool reclaimed wood vanity - but if you missed it, here's the link. I paired it with this dramatic mirror and a gunmetal finish on the light fixture.
But my favorite accent? These numbered towel hooks. Instead of the typical towel bar, we thought something special would be more appropriate. And these are fun!
What do you think?

I like the colors, I'm just not sure the rectangle of marble and stones works with the other tiles. Maybe it's that the vanity isn't centered in the rectangle. I'm a very geometric person!
ReplyDeleteI am not crazy about the dark brown large tile. It's not as light and "beachy" as I was expecting. I think that it is competing rather than complementing the inset tile. I love the inset tile, but I agree with the earlier commenter that it would be even better if it related geometrically with the rest of the space--centered on something. The hooks are fun and relate well to the vanity.
ReplyDeletethe previous two commentors are complete morons! we know what we like leave it to the pros putz!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you did this a while ago, but any chance you remember the dimensions of the bathroom? We are remodeling a house and I had thought about a similar layout for one of the baths. I'm hoping that it would fit in the space.
ReplyDeleteThat was a long time ago! My guess is 8 feet long by a little over 7 wide. I often make cardboard cutouts for the space I’m working in. It lets you figure out what will work best - especially if you have sloped ceilings!
