The couple’s requirements included a more functional and comfortable bath.  He wanted a small TV to catch the morning news, and she needed a make-up table and more control of room temperature.  They also wanted a less long and narrow look without altering the basic footprint of the room, and updated finishes while preserving the formal traditional style of the home.  The existing whirlpool and whirlpool fixtures were to be reused.

After living in their home for 20 years, this empty-nester couple wanted to update their long and narrow master bath.

 Our solutions included maintaining his-and-her vanities, but straightening the angle of the tub to make room between the vanities for her make-up table.  The vanity cabinets were raised to a more comfortable 34 inches, and the make-up table between them remains at 30 inches with a boudoir chair beside it.  New shallow wall cabinets provide convenient personal storage.  A flat screen TV was wall mounted where it can be viewed from anywhere in the bath, and in-floor heat added beneath the limestone floor tiles can be controlled to provide heat only when needed. 

The varying base cabinet heights, together with four new narrow medicine cabinets breaking up the expanse of mirror, serve to slow the eye and visually widen the room.  The mirrored end wall behind the whirlpool was changed to a painted wall to visually shorten the room.  A frameless glass shower door also suggests more visual space, as do the large limestone floor tiles and seamless granite.

New Cognac raised panel cabinetry maintains the formal traditional style of the home.  It is complemented by granite counter tops, tub deck and shower, as well as the limestone floor.  Traditional chrome fixtures selected for the vanities and shower complement the existing whirlpool fixtures.  Iron hardware, iron light fixtures and moss wall paint complete the warm palette.
