Talbot Master Bath
Due to an addition taking place above the garage, the homeowner's decided to deal with this Pandora's Box of remodeling and commence with the full remodel of the master bath. Odd ceiling angles made for poor ambient illumination and the lady's vanity area felt cramped in a darkened alcove. The men's vanity area was damaged by years of water splashed behind the mirror and a framed brass shower enclosure needed serious revamping.
In order to create fluidity in the over all design of the home another barrel vault was constructed in the master bath over the tub area. Once again working with the home existing framing was a challenge. While most of the fixtures remained in place the shower and tub areas were updated with spa like features such as a rain shower head, body sprays and a jetted tub. Natural stones such as Blue Fantasy granite, Ming green and Thassos marble in elaborate designs were also incorporated into the new space for a 5-Star hotel atmosphere.
To address the water damage issue at the men's vanity, an elevated cabinet height was specified in conjunction with a wider lavatory sink, taller faucet and 9” high granite back splash . This would reduce the “splash” issue eliminating water damage due to the husband's tall stature and distance from the water source to the face during grooming exercised such as shaving or face washing. Light fixtures flanking the sides of the mirror now allow for proper task lighting when grooming as well.
Formerly located at the “hers” vanity area is now a quaint arched hallway linking the bath area to a woman's retreat. A small room was added on to the existing space to provide a private grooming space for the lady of the house. Featuring an appliance garage, seated makeup vanity and plenty of storage, this room is packed with natural light which is reflected in the large mirrored walls and accented by the intricate tile designs.
All in all, this remodel is a prime example of the metamorphosis of a humble house emerging as an exquisite home. A fortunate couple's long awaited and much anticipate dream actualized.
