Windows In Showers

In addition to the eight bathrooms I am currently working on, Mom and I have been coming up with plans for her new master bathroom. My parents have not been able to use their master bathroom shower  for years due to a leak that requires taking up the entire bathroom floor, so essentially gutting the entire bathroom. Like many home owners they put this project on the back burner until they could afford to do it the right way. Fifteen sketches of the bathroom layout later, Mom and I finally have our plan. Most of the drawings were designed around keeping an existing window, which is currently in their sorry excuse for a master closet, making the overall layout of the room difficult. Now instead of working around the window, we are working with it. Our current plan is to have the window in the shower. We absolutely despise glass blocks and do it yourself sticky film over the glass but a waterproof plantation shutter could be perfect. The bathroom renovation is probably still a few months away, but our design and layout are done!

Bathroom Renovations

Kitchen renovations are my favorite, but bathrooms come in a close second. Right now I have faucet toilet and sink ideas running through my head constantly, but that's probably because I am currently working on eight bathrooms remodels. Some bathrooms we chose oil rubbed bronze hardware, others in polished nickel, my all time personal favorite. I am not using a single fixture twice except for my go to, and I know it sounds weird but it's my favorite toilet, the Kohler Memoirs. With a gajillion pictures on Houzz and Pinterest it's easy to get carried away, I have clients who have brand new bathrooms and still get envious browsing the web looking at photos. The key is to pick timeless elements and mix them in with updated touches. I will never get tired of basketweave marble floors or white subway tile, two trends that were used fifty years ago but like pearls remain timeless. Polished nickel is still my favorite finish but oil rubbed bronze is growing on me, I hope when the Mr. and I become homeowners our house has two bathrooms so I can have both.

Friday Favs

Industrial shower enclosures are fabulous; whether it's polished nickel, aged brass, or a salvaged factory window, I absolutely love the look of these bathrooms. Happy Friday!
