For this husband and wife, starting and ending the day in a room that brings serenity was a must.

The clawfoot tub in a corner with a chandelier above it and surrounded by windows was a must for the lady of the house. This bathroom makes any woman feel like a queen.

The extra large shower and rain head is what every man needs to feel like a king. There is plenty of storage to be found in the 2 medicine cabinets and free standing cabinet that can be swapped out whenever you like. Just like the medicine cabinets, the double sink vanity with marble counter was sourced through Restoration Hardware.

The deep window sills (thanks to the super insulated walls) are a touch that any home can benefit from. This gives the feeling of being in a 100 year old stone house but without the uncomfortable drafts and extremely high heating bills that come with it. The floors are reclaimed pine from the Ottawa River sourced by Logs End and finished with a clear water based finish. The trim work and window sills are Butternut sourced from nearby Monkton, Vermont.

The toilet is a wall hung toilet and is tucked away out of sight when you first walk in. It takes as little room as possible to not take away from the rest of the bathroom and keeps it easy to clean under. It also prevents a toilet having to be installed on a wood floor while adding that final touch of elegance.

This bathroom brings back the memories of houses many of us grew up in and combines it with the peaceful feelings of living in the country. The best designs bring out the best feelings in us all.
