This small out dated master bathroom was in need of a major update. The client never used the bathtub so requested a large steam/shower combination along with a two sink vanity and heated floors. There was ample room in an adjoining closet to move the sinks to adjacent wall.

The Authentic Home COLOR Paint tm in Glacier was selected for the wall color to compliment the silver, beige and blue tones in the colors travertine which was used on the steam/shower walls and vanity countertop. Stone pebbles adorn the steam/shower floor and a 13” x 13 marble was set on point with 2”x 2” ocean blue glass inserts set on a diagonal. To continue with the elegant feel of the space, a crystal chandelier was added to bring warm and whimsy to this master bathroom.

I selected the Authentic Home COLOR Paint ™ in Pewter for the wall paint color to bring a more contemporary, urban feel to the space. The existing draperies had colors of black, white, grey and a hint of red in the fabric so that became the inspiration for the furniture, area rugs, lighting, artwork and accessory colors.

The long, narrow, bowed shaped living room was created to have a conversation of sitting area centered in front of the fireplace and to have the dining area next to the kitchen. The couple also wanted to have a large plasma TV placed the wall and the only wall big enough to hold a TV was across from the now sitting area. After meeting the young couple and discovering their entertaining lifestyle, I immediately felt the need to flip the two spaces. Now the couple can enjoy intimate dinners in front of the fireplace and watch TV with ample room for many viewers.

This new living arrangement is the talk of the town home community as many that have experienced the space have decided to flip the two rooms as we have done.

Remember to think outside of the box and be open to new ideas when you are dealing with challenging spaces.

The home is located on Puget Sound so a lighter beach feel was decided on for the overall direction of the kitchen remodel. We chose The Authentic Home COLOR Paint tm in Glacier for the walls and Champagne for the ceiling along with a Linen color for the custom Alder cabinets. This established our color palette for all the other elements such as the granite countertop, backsplash, window coverings and upholstery fabric and the island cabinet color.

The kitchen underwent two new interior design changes. The first was the addition of the window seat area. The family desperately needed a place to dine comfortably and it now has become one of the focal points of the room. The kitchen was extended 4 feet onto the existing patio in order to build this important element. An enclosed window “sun room” was designed to allow ample morning sun into the entire room. The wrap around window seat, custom made Alder tabletop and custom hand forged steel base is the ideal setting for family meals.

The second structural element was the ceiling height which was raised 9 feet. New custom oak beams added to the casual, comfortable feel of the space. This important change to the ceiling height makes the entire space feel more open and much larger.

The light blue, warm sand and pale green granite countertop was selected due to the beach and flowing water feel. The shimmering iridescent glass mosaic backsplash in blue, copper and green tones and coordinating copper bowed 1”x 9” subway tiles make the room sparkle with color and elegance.

The dark stained Alder furniture island makes it one of the room’s focal points. A small prep sink, large counter area and raised counter make the island a statement piece. The microwave was placed on the lower level so that the teenage daughters could heat up things easily.

The clients are extremely happy with their new up to date kitchen and the new space has truly become the heart of their home.
