Nothing really beats the look and feel of
natural stone for creating a rich, warm and inviting
environment.

The homeowners
wanted to explore the possibilities of a dramatic
transformation of their old, dated master bathroom.
A wall made the small bathroom seem
even smaller by separating the
bathtub and single vanity from the
shower. Removing this wall and
the linen closet that took up room
across from the shower were going to
be key issues in being able to
recapture valuable floor space in
order to create a more open feeling
that the homeowners wanted. They wanted a
vastly different look and feel and
selected travertine for the tile
surfaces and a euro-style glass
shower enclosure was suggested in
order to maximize a feeling of openness
between the new shower and
bathtub. |

The shower (before).
The wall between the old bathtub and the
shower was removed and the plumbing was
moved into the opposite wall. Here you can
see the rough framing in place.
New
nickel fixtures
Custom travertine shelves

The Shower (after)
You can see the frameless euro-style
glass shower enclosure in
place which opens the room up dramatically.
The new shower bench and the diamond pattern
of the tile shower floor.

The
bathtub before was too small and
shallow.
A Kohler drop in tub was installed in a
custom framed tub deck.
Matching nickel fixtures and a
beautiful framed diamond pattern on the tub
face
finishes the look. |
