Renovation has finally begun on a basement project that I mentioned a little while ago in an earlier posting. We are more than excited about all of the possibilities! Here is a look at what is in the works for the bathroom...
One of my inspiration photos is of a bath designed by architect Scott West. He was the grand prize winner of the Twenty-third Annual Bath Contest sponsored by Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles magazine. Definitely, take a look at this modern bathroom that was inspired by "his client's experiences at high-end hotels." (Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Magazine, July, 2012). I am inspired by the floating vanity with marble top and the beautiful rich wood finishes.
Taking cues from the frameless shower door and the application of marble tiles inside the shower will give the small bath the open airiness the absence of a window would otherwise provide. This inspiration photo is from another winner of the Twenty-third Annual Bath Contest. Terracotta Properties was given the task of renovating a small master bath in need of an update that introduced light and gave "the illusion of an open and airy bath, despite the room's small footprint." (Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Magazine, July, 2012). A great inspiration photo for me because of the size and space limitations my project.
The bathroom is long and narrow, therefore scale, proportion, and light will be crucial in creating a bath that will be comfortable, functional, and a joy to spend time in. It can only accommodate a shower and with the tightness of space, it is important to create that openness that I spoke about earlier.
Using Olioboard, I created a preliminary design plan of the elements that may be used in the bath. The client and I both like the idea of using marble for flooring and on the walls, however this may change as the project progresses. I've selected a floating vanity with drawers, that will be perfect as it doesn't rest on the floor, is a bit narrow, and provides storage for towels, and other bath products. Using a floating vanity, instead of a standing one, doesn't take up as much visual space. I would like to include a small bench with a lower shelf or etagere to provide additional places to keep items handy and accessible while using the shower. With the proper lighting reflecting off the white marble, the brown wood finishes will add depth and warmth. I look forward to showing you pictures as the project progresses!
Make it AMAZING!
