2011 EcoHome Design Award Winner

Key to the successful design were the homeowner priorities of family health, energy performance, and optimizing the walk-to-town construction site. To maintain health and air quality, the home features a fresh air ventilation system with energy recovery, a whole house HEPA filtration system, radiant & radiator heating distribution, and low/no VOC materials. The home’s energy performance focuses on passive heating/cooling techniques, natural daylighting, an improved building envelope, and efficient mechanical systems, collectively achieving overall energy performance of 50% better than code. To address the site opportunities, the home utilizes a footprint that maximizes southern exposure in the rear while still capturing the park view in the front.

Lisa K. Tharp - K. Tharp Design Hi maryc4.

Thank you for your question. I asked the contractor to cover this focal wall with wide v-groove board, much like I used in the home's kitchen at the backsplash and gable peaks. I had the board painted a creamy white using non-toxic Mythic Paint. I like to add visual texture to walls, especially when designing with simple materials and varying shades of white. Other textures, such as the warm wood accents, keep this room from feeling cold or sterile. I like using horizontal plank (vs. the vertical I used downstairs) for a more casual, beachy feel.

Hope that answers your question.

Lisa K. Tharp - K. Tharp Design Hi stefanie1215.

I love that piece too! It is actually an old shelf mirror, so I have no additional information on its provenance.

Thank you for stopping by.

Would anyone be able to tell if the floor is light grey or light beige? »

tamyeln It looks more on the beige side to me because of it's warmth. But you should be able to find a tile that has both the beige and grey hues just like this tile.

Lisa K. Tharp - K. Tharp Design The tile leans toward a sandy beige, as I wanted to keep the mix of beach-meets-farmhouse influences running throughout. Image tag has more detail on source. This tile also does come in grey hues, if interested.

amymaguire Can you please tell us if it's the "Gray" color, "Beige" or Ivory? It looks a lot lighter than the beige sample on Stone Source's website! Many thanks, what a beautiful bathroom.

Mythic Paint color question... - Hi! I was hoping you might be able to tell me what color specifically you used on the walls so I can try and match it up to a Benjamin Moore color since I have to choose one of theirs. I am planning on basically an all white kitchen (with dark wood floors) and all white bathrooms (with dark tile floors) and am overwhelmed by the choices for white paint. Also, did you do the wall and cabinets and trim all in the same color white in the kitchen of this house? It is SO beautiful! Thanks so much for your time I am sure you are extremely busy. This is the link to the mythic paint website. http://www.mythicpaint.com/ColorPaletteDetails.aspx?ID=17&flag=#4 It looks to me like maybe 'morning song' but I may be way off : ) Thank you! »

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Although you can't see it in the photos, this master bathroom also incorporates a laundry room. "Laundry rooms used to be placed in basements, then they moved to the first floor, and today, we realize it's most convenient to have it on the same floor as the bedrooms, where we put our clothes away," Horowitz explains. This makes getting clothes from one's body to the washer a breeze. Between stripping down and popping into the shower, clothes can be placed in the color sorting bins or directly into the washing machine.
In a monochromatic color scheme, texture is vital for visual depth. Turning the wainscoting 90 degrees gives this bath just enough of an edge to provide interest.
