Dated would best describe this master bath, having been configured when the house was originally built. Clinical white floor tiles accented with maroon ceramic tile, oak cabinetry and yards of mirrored walls screamed 1980. Though a separate tub, walk-in shower, private commode and double vanity are still desirable features, classic finishes needed to become the new catchword.

Soft and elegant defines the color palette of gray, blue and white. A free-standing, classically styled soaking tub means the bath no longer overwhelms the room and provides more freedom of movement at the double vanity. Improved storage and striking granite make this vanity twice as nice; and porcelain “carrera” tile, frameless shower door, and fresh plumbing fixtures are a winning combination – sure to please this owner or any other.
