Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B Hello, the mirrors are approximately 35-36" high.

lacevedo Thank you , I really appreciate the quick response. I am looking to do the same thing but as it stands, the electricity for the lights are lower so the builder said the mirror would be 33" above the counter. I think that is too low. Thoughts?

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B It is natural stone - Honed Bursa Beige Marble.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B Ralph Lauren - Burlap.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B I had this produced by Woodharbor. I could also do the same with other cabinetry makers that I represent.

mbts Could you tell me what size/brand you used for the undermount sinks. Also, do you prefer rectangular to oval?

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B The suppliers I work with use a catalyzed conversion varnish for "paint" on wood.

dumasmarilyn Are there any other pictures that show the entire bathroom instead of it in sections?

dumasmarilyn Why did they use a different tile in the shower rather than one similar to the floor tile? Could you use a variation of the same tile as the floor but in different sizes and shapes?

albva Can you give the dimensions of the individual cabinets -- the sink base cabinets, the base drawer cabinets, and the upper drawers/cabinets.
On the upper cabinets - is the glass clear or opaque? THANK YOU! :)

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B albva, that is a request that falls into design services. I don't give those specifics out. If you are working with a cabinet shop / showroom, they should be able to do layout options for you.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B There is a "See Products" link on the homepage of Houzz.com. Click on that and enter your request in the search tool.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B With mixing finishes, it takes balance. With some clients, they may like the mixture as shown in the photo above, but for their particular house or room, it may not work as well. Each is a unique space. I would suggest being careful of too much "checkering" of black. The process is very much like putting the right combination of jewelry with the right outfit without going overboard.

garyhutchison Thank you for the replies. I am going with the mix. :-)

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B The bronze on the shower door is a nice tie-in to the other bronze pieces. That is what we did in this application. See the other photos of this project book to see the shower detail.

denisesburks Thank you! I viewed the shower and saw the hinges and assumed shower handle was also ORB.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B What is the brand of paint you are referring to? Where do you live - part of country? Does the bath have windows facing south, east, west, north?
There are lots to things to consider to give good advice on paint color.

tropicalsun 2 windows west facing, the room is long and narrow - about 10ft x 6ft. Benjamin moore paint, and I live in Western Canada. thanks

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B It is Bursa Beige Mini Brick from AKDO.

neitz Thank you for the information link. I'm attaching a picture of our unfinished vanity that was delivered today. You will see your influence in the design. Thank you.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B Looking great!!! I like the double set of drawers on each side. I would enjoy seeing when it's all done. Thank you for sharing.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B Emtek has a great selection of glass knobs for cabinetry.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B They are the Belle Meade Sconce from Urban Electric Company. The shades were custom, made locally. The sconces have many finishes to choose from.

neitz I agree with Lyrics. I appreciate your prompt and helpful replies. We did a modified version of this and had to use 9" wide trim boards for the lights, but my sconces are 5.5" wide so that's okay. We also have our electrical in the backsplash, but I like the placement of these better. We also put an outlet in one upper drawer so that I could leave my hair dryer plugged in. (I will post a photo when it is done since we still just have the unpainted cabinets in place.)

lyrics1967 Neitz, I am glad you and Kayron mentioned the size of the sconces. That totally factors into how wide you not only want the mirror frames but how wide you NEED the mirror frames. Glad you supported Karyon's comment on that. I truly would have overlooked that detail.....until it was too late. And my scones have already been BARGAINED purchased and cannot be returned. Thanks

gcy560 Great bathroom. What are the heights of the towers?

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B The towers are 48"

ddccarpenter how big was the bath if you used 200 sq ft of tile?

katie4129 I used it in two bathrooms

jococoj Thanks for you input! DIfferent question: Is it actually not practical to use honed marble in a shower? DO ytou recommend against it? We are doing a new Master bathroom so it will be used frequently.

Buechel Stone Corp Personally - I think it's fine. Sealed of course. Here's a tip i think is often not considered. One of the big things that make showers look more dirty is hard water... lime in the water. Put a good filter on the main water source coming into the house to clean that sediment from the water before it gets in.

dlflowers No green tag on photo or at bottom

emilyindallas Ralph Lauren Burlap

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B It is a natural marble, Crema Marfil.

special_k4 Thank you (-:

erikanc I had an outlet put in my upper cabinet. It is great for keeping my hair dryer and flat iron plugged in, handy, and out-of-sight.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B The faucets are by Kallista.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B In polished chrome.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B Bursa Beige Mini Brick pattern.

lisa_vincent It is beautiful!

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B I know there are things that are a porcelain that would be similar. I don't have exact names and manufacturers off hand, I just know I have seen ones that would do a good job in replacing the look if needed. Are you working with a design professional? They can typically help you shop for the right materials.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B Woodharbor is the manufacturer of this cabinet. I believe it was a 2-1/4" wide rail and stile....if remembering correctly.

robertomas Just perfectly done..

Cynthia Taylor-Luce Thanks, Vikrant, for sharing your philosophy! Have a great day, you and trendy...

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B Great comments above. I recommend sconces at approximately face level for the best and most flattering lighting. The combination of sconces and wall mount lights above the mirror would be a cluttered look on the wall. Down lighting directly over the sink will cast unsightly shadows none of us like, no matter the age. Take a careful look at the type sconce lighting you are choosing and know the different types of bulbs and wattages that would be appropriate for your size of room. Ceiling lights or recessed cans in the remainder of the room add to the overall lighting you will need.

totoprice What is the floor?

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B the floor is also Bursa Beige Marble

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B I have seen one particular type of stainless steel kitchen sink that was undermounted with laminate. I have not seen a china bath sink. I would recommend you talk to your laminate fabricator. In general, you need a solid surface material to be able to mount the sink of your choice (as long as it is an undermount style sink).

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B Thank you, Shannon. They are mirrored, as the client didn't want to see inside. The extra mirror gives more light reflection to the room and adds a bit of glamour to the bath.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B Kae, it is a tight grout joint, maybe 1/8". Sorry, I don't have the grout off hand. I suggest matching grout color to the tile so not a lot of contrast.

Kae Johnson Thanks! The picture looks great ... we are looking into a similar color scheme for our new bathroom

msprott I thought maybe that was it, but the lighting did look pretty cool. Thanks!

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B Yes, that is the photography lighting.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B http://www.houzz.com/discussions/54733/What-is-the-length-of-the-vanity-

umich92 If you can share the information, that would be much appreciated.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B Hello, I don't give out exact floor plans, but can help you with your bath if you need some direction for your bath. Please contact me for services if you need assistance with layouts.

bizjones Awesome! Thanks! You just made my day

bkings73 Is it a 4 or 6 light chandelier?

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B It is polished mini brick.

Lucy Fabulous. Thanks for the response, most appreciated.

erikanc Thanks Kayron! I have a question -- I had some mirrors cut to go in the upper cabinet doors, but I can't decide if I want to put them in. What do you think? Mostly for light and so I can hold up clothes from the inside the closet to see. But because of the gap you would have to crouch down to see your face if you were right in front of it.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B I like the mirrored upper cabinet as it gives more light reflection and also to "lighten" up the upper visual of the cabinet. Since you have mirrors over the sinks for viewing your face, do you really need to see your face when you are deciding on clothes....
It's optional/personal preference...and would look great either way.
Kayron

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B That was about a 6" wide band. Yes, proportions are important. I can do long distance consulting if you need assistance.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B I think we used a 12" deep upper with a 24" vanity base. They sit about 6" or 8" from the sink.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B The white marble sounds like a striking and lovely contrast.

hastyto Trendyrendy

We, too, had a 4 light bar before the remodel. Our decorator had recommended a set of lights over each sink, part of that was because she thought trying to put single sconces on the side would make the mirrors for our vanity look choppy and smaller. I can tell you the light fixture you see in our picture can hold two 100 watt bulbs, but it is too bright. We have 60 watt bulbs. We did put in 4 can lights in the bathroom and actually have them on a dimmer switch. I can't really comment on shadows from overhead light as that is the only kind of light I have ever had. I can say that we have more than enough light. I would be a little worried that side sconces and a two light fixture might look a little busy, but I am definitely not a decorator. I am really pleased with our lighting. You do have an additional 18 inches between your towers to work with than we did. Let me know if I can help any other way

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B hastyto, the vanity turned out beautifully. I like how the sink bases bump out beyond the drawer bases. Nice job!

sheehynan I felt really stupid because of course all that information was supplied at the top of the photo. But here's another quick question. I'm going to put in a steam shower and don't believe I can use marble although I love it in this bathroom. Can you mix marble with ceramic and be successful with it?
Thank you so much!

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B That's okay! In a steam shower, ceramic or porcelain is best for performance, but it is possible to do natural stone. The steam unit has to be sized up for the absorption factor of natural stone, and there is more maintenance with natural stone. And, yes, you can be successful at mixing stone and ceramic. We used a ceramic tile on the walls of the shower and a stone mosaic floor on the shower floor. The stone mosaic ties into the rest of the bath, which features the natural stone.

lyrics1967 I'm a little confused with how you explain your sink dimensions. Under the countertop, it's 19.5" in width? But actual bowl size is 13.5 width? Thanks

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B I was referring to width from side to side and width from front to back.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B Hi Cathy,
Sorry for the slow reply! To answer your question, it is more soft sage / beige in color. Always expect photography as well as computer screens to alter the colorations. Also, lighting plays a part in the color rendition. The Ralph Lauren paints are carried at Home Depot. I would suggest getting a sample to see in person.
Thanks so much for the lovely compliment.
Best regards,
Kayron Brewer, CKD

Cathy B Home depot, perfect, Thanks again :)

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B Hello "bam4bush",
I just saw this question! Sorry for my late reply. For cabinetry, I do have several resources that can ship to you. If I have accurate measurements from your jobsite, I can provide cabinetry to you. If you would like to discuss further, feel free to email at klbdesigns@hotmail.com
Kayron Brewer, CKD

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B Hi Lois,
Well, a smaller version could be done for a 5x8 bathroom. This bathroom was very long and narrow. If you have a tub, you can do glass or a shower curtain. There are generally questions that I would ask to determine if which shower protection is appropriate for a project. I consult by the hour if you have the need.
Best regards,
Kayron Brewer, CKD

Ann Shields Oops! That was supposed to be a note to myself. Still figuring out Houzz, but I LOVE this picture! Thanks for sharing it!

cyberstu Thank you for all your replies regarding your beautiful work. I, too, was wondering about this cabinet color which works so well with the crema marfil-- very easy on the eyes in the morning & evening.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B P.S. Thank you! Glad you are loving the bathroom!

Lisa Oliveri Thank you so much for your reply and opinion. I'll check out Sonoma Tile Makers and Pratt & Larson. Appreciate your input!! Have a nice day.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B Hi Lizzy, in one of the photos of this project, there was the same question and I found a very close color in Ben Moore. If you have a moment to look thru the conversations of the photos, the answer will be there. If not, I can search a little bit later.....prepping for a meeting right now.
Thanks,
Kayron

Lizzy Hinson thanks, i'll look

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B Hello,
Yes, polished marble would need an impregnating sealer for countertop or shower (or for any application). The frequency of application of the sealer would depend on usage and cleaning of the area. It is important to use proper stone care cleaners where you have marble and not the standard grocery store shower cleaners. There are different brands of stone sealers and they usually offer a stone cleaner as well.
As for the asthma issue, I am not sure. You may want to talk to the manufacturer of whichever sealer you choose. I do know that sealers need several days to cure. During the application and curing process is when it is most noticeable. I would avoid the area or house while the sealers are curing if possible to be safe.
I always recommend really good ventilation for the space to help with any mold/mildew issues. Do not skimp on good ventilation! I mostly use Panasonic ventilation fans. FYI.

momrn5 Thank you!

aliza1231 Its hard to see in the picture but it looks very much like the Mitrani SV570 Undermount Bathroom Sink. (see here http://www.qualitybath.com/product~name~Mitrani%2BSV570~ID~75924.htm)

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B The sinks are from Marzi Sinks.

Kayron Brewer, CKD

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B There is always a potential of staining with natural stone. A good quality penetrating sealer is very important....remember the saying, "you get what you pay for", so use a good sealer!
As for the dog.....does your dog just sleep on the floor? Does he/she have accidents on the floor? Because that is different. Maybe need to know more. There are some really beautiful versions of porcelains which would not stain and would not require sealing.
Kayron Brewer, CKD

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B Thanks Lisa! I love what I do!

catjackabby Phillip Jefferis has amazing textured wallpaper that looks like seagrass or silk and it comes in vinyl. Check it out online- they will send you samples too!

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B Hi Lesley,
You can contact me via email and we can discuss how I can help.
klbdesigns@hotmail.com

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B The cabinet knobs were from Sun Valley Bronze. I also love Rock Mountain Hardware's finish and selection. There are other brands with similar finishes and different price ranges.

Janie Riley_Kennedy Hi Kayron, Thank you for being very specific about the metal choices. We are building and I really don't want everything to match, but I want continuity and a definite plan for choosing knobs, hardware, faucets, etc. This bath is our favorite, thank you for sharing and inspiring our new bath. All the best!

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B The sconces are from Urban Electric Company. The shades were custom by a local artist.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B Marble can etch and stain. You must seal with a penetrating sealer (high quality) to help protect it. If you are not okay with the patina developing with a natural product, then I would recommend looking at a quartz material.

duterrier Please suggest what quartz would best match the Crema marfil counter top?

lferrucci12 Where is the vanity from?

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B I designed the vanity and had it made by Woodharbor.

Kelly Porter A similar color is Whole Wheat 6121 by Sherwin Williams.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B The wall color is Ralph Lauren's "Burlap".

The Shabby Nest Valspar's Coffee is a similar color.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B It is Ralph Lauren's "Burlap".

Kelly Porter Try a matte finish. Sherwin Williams makes this in their line of Duration paint. It has no sheen and it's cleanable. Here is the link: http://www.sherwin-williams.com/do_it_yourself/products/duration_home_interior_acrylic_latex/

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B With most cabinetry manufacturers, you can choose a sheen level, ie 5% or 20%. Some cabinetry manufacturers make the paint finishes at the lower sheen level, or more matte. Check with your cabinetry supplier/manufacturer for their specifications. I highly recommend factory finishes when you are choosing paint, as site finished cabinetry will start to chip more easily and you will see chipping within a year or so.

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B The chandelier was purchased from Brocade Home - mail order. It was purchased about 4 years ago, so not sure if they still have it.

alex511 Thank you!

gittez What kind of tile is on the floor (manufacturer and color)?

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B The sinks were from Marzi Studios and the faucets were from Kallista (Michael Smith Collection). Unfortunately, the shower tile has been discontinued.

katie4129 You are most welcome! Glad to be of some help to someone!!

katie4129 The countertop is Polished Crema Marfil Marble and the floor is Honed Bursa Beige Marble.
You can find VERY reasonably priced Bursa Beige tiles at Oracle Tile and Stone in Anaheim, CA. I recently purchased them and had them shipped to Texas, and cannot find one negative thing to say about my experience with the owner, Mustafa Cesur. They carry more than marble, so check them out at their website:

Kayron Brewer, CKD, CBD / Studio K B Lighting, photographs and computers can change the look of a color .

Jayme Hobbs I finally found this pic of Burlap which is closer...the others I had seen were very grey and darker looking, Thank you Kayron.
