House on the Hill
In the corner of this room, for example, an oversize Euphorbia ammak ‘Variegata’ adds size, color and design oomph to the simple arrangement. The plant on the table is a sansevieria, a go-to houseplant for Nolan. “My own home and clients’ projects almost always contain one or a dozen kinds of Sansevieria. They’re just the easiest — you can leave for a month and come home to a still-living plant,” he says. Plant list: Sansevieria and Euphorbia ammak ‘Variegata’ Light requirement: Bright, indirect light for euphorbia; low light for sansevieria Water requirement: Low
The vanity wall in the powder room is covered in vertical-grain Douglas fir with a black Rubio Monocoat dye, which again mimics the charred look of Japanese shou sugi ban. A skylight in the ceiling and a rift-sawn white oak floating vanity keeps the room light and bright.
spice rack on pantry door???
Adair, I noticed that Duravit is cheaper than Toto, is the quality as good? (Armadillo) Alexis, I love duravit style and have specified many sinks. I have not seen firsthand their wall-hung toilets. I'm surprised they are cheaper. We would have to know whether they integrate with a Geberit wall system or if they have their own proprietary wall tank.
Hidden range hood???? (Armadillo)- I love the look. There is quite a bit less grill area since they have to fit in 12" deep upper cabinets. That can be compensated with more air volume (noisier) fan. There might be room for a remote fan unit if you are interested. That is what we are using in the master bathrooms.
Extra under sink storage for bathroom and kitchen - and plugs -
Spice racks if space is available (Armadillo) - We will meet and discuss how much spice shelving you would like. I love pull-out shelving, though you do trade a bit of space for the convenient access.
Interesting, no soffit but lowered the ceiling saying that it created a single plane. (Armadillo) I think this works well when the ceiling is stepping to to a quite-tall main ceiling. With your house we are trying to work with a celing that has a lot of visual and spatial interest, but remains between 9 to 11 feet.
Lights on right of picture are the ones Hank wants, may not need so many??? (Armadillo) - I think what is shown (one luminaire every other tread) is a nice distribution. The banding makes the treads very visible. I think we should target fixtures that point a little more down and less 'across'.
flooring, I think this is the color Hank wants on the flooring (Armadillo) - NIce! It looks like birch or maple
Simpler probably and just as effect if doors are thick enough
Drawer under main area (Armadillo) - This reminds me: we didn't discuss a drain disposal or an insta-hot tap.
Really like this (Armadillo) Handy!
Pricey probably but cool
Under sink solutions
Another option for under the sink
If only........my under sink area never looks this tidy. Like rails on doors to hold stuff. Bakets for misc.
Downstairs bedroom/media room (Armadillo) this is the style of murphy bed I had suggested in the drawings, with a desk or cabinet alongside. With your media cabinet opposite, the integral sofa makes the best use of the space.
Murphy bed
Maybe better Idea? (Armadillo) It depends on how many sheet goods you have. The example at the right looks like an extreme pastry baker. This looks more typical.
Trays on top because easier to pull down than smaller items but great use of over fridge or elsewhere (Armadillo) I like this a lot. It works well with the evolving kitchen. Fortunately you are both tall.
Better than the metal ones I have now
Knitting Needles SW7672 by Sherwin-Williams Love the name, thinking about this color for my bathroom/bedrrom
Rod between cabinets
Raised beds
Moe raised beds
Starting to look at raised beds
strange for trays, cutting boards
Hank's composting choice, either this one or the one I already have in the file (counter top with close fitting lid.
More cabinet space? Or is this just downright goofy? (Armadillo) I don't think you'll have a shortage of cabinet space in the bathroom now that we have an entire cabinet wall available. I think the mirror area will be more valuable to you, particularly with the vanity seat.
This is clever, folding doors open to reveal the washer dryer. Don't know that it is appropriate or necessary for our home on the hill. . (Armadillo) This is great when the laundry machines are in a room that serves other purposes. Since your machines will be in their own room, the money is best spent elsewhere. Schnazzy detailing though!
Like the feel of this bathroom, don't know how you get a certain "feel" without copying it exactly but there is not much in this bathroom that I think would work in my new one. I think the things that contribute most to the "feel" are as follows: The distinct lighting, the warm wood tones, the open shelving, the slab style cabinetry and the monolithic countertop with integral vanity basins. Some of these ideas could be worked into your bathroom.
freestanding tub and shower enclosure. (Armadillo) I would hate to clean around a freestanding tub set into a niche as this one is. You? I love freestanding tubs when there is room. This one feels forced in a small space.
big format tiles, freestanding tub
beautiful closet
59" Alsen Acrylic Freestanding Bathtub in White by Maykke $900
Cool freestanding tub $1,000 or so. Maykke Brand San Fran.
Will a free standing bathtub work in my bathroom? Armadillo - A freestanding tub will not work in your bathroom. Like the image further down the list, your bathtub is integrated with the shower chamber, and would have to be a three sided niche style tub, with tile overlapping all sides for water containment and cleaning.
Like to ability to push door open rather than a handle
Don't even know if this is possible but a cool idea with compost bin underneath
This is not about the bathroom but the larger format tile and still using the calming gray colors I like. Maybe a little lighter color this time.
Another option for hiding laundry baskets
Place to hide laundry basket if we do not get the laundry shoot............and I suppose if we do then I would still want to hide the basket that collects the laundry.
Pull out storage for bathroom
floating nightstands
Secret door to media room
