Walk-in shower - mid-sized farmhouse master brown tile and porcelain tile porcelain tile and beige floor walk-in shower idea in Philadelphia with brown cabinets, a two-piece toilet, gray walls, an undermount sink, granite countertops and flat-panel cabinets

The pool patio is a spacious, resort-inspired outdoor retreat designed for both recreation and relaxation. Finished with light-colored Umbriano large-format pavers, the expansive patio offers a clean, modern foundation that complements the surrounding architecture while providing ample room for gathering and movement. At the center of the space is a large rectangular inground pool with a striking dark interior finish. Designed for fun and function, the pool features a basketball hoop, diving board, slide, and an automatic cover—making it ideal for active afternoons and effortless maintenance alike. Multiple lounge and seating zones are thoughtfully arranged around the pool to accommodate every moment of outdoor living. Sleek, dark-framed chaise lounges with soft light-gray cushions invite sunbathing, while the covered patio off the main house offers a shaded space for relaxing conversations. A dedicated dining area, complete with a round table and striped umbrella, provides the perfect setting for casual meals and poolside entertaining. Framing the patio, decorative rock gardens with low-maintenance plantings, small palm trees, and natural boulders add texture and warmth, enhancing the overall resort-like atmosphere. Together, these elements create a beautifully balanced outdoor oasis—equally suited for lively gatherings or quiet days by the water

This is the inside of the 1/2 bath (powder room). The flooring is pebble flooring. The vanity was made from a white cedar that was harvested from Montana which we carved out the back for the plumbing pipes and a place for the touch-less faucet battery pack. For the counter top we used 2 pieces of 3" wood slabs and glued together (face of top still has the bark on). We poured an epoxy on the counter to keep it protected from water. The stone sink you see here was purchased in Las Vegas, NV. and had shipped to Minnesota. The faucet that is shown is a Jason Wu touch-less faucet. For the mirror we cut from the top of the base and carved out the center and also finished with an epoxy. The horse head the wood rope mirror is hung on is actually a coat hook. Notice the little tech gadget located under the hanging chicken wire light... it is a combination outlet and USB port for charging your phones, etc. For the ceiling we used half logs spaced every 1 1/2 feet (which is open) with up lighting. The light switch that is installed is motion activated and will automatically turn off after 15 min. of non-use and will notify you with a soft chirping sound. On one of the walls we applied 2" wood planks (with bark) and cemented in between the voids. We then applied a polyurethane on the wood planks.

This space was created as a master bath for this client and was part of a larger master suite and dance studio addition. The marbled counter top juxtapositions the glass wall tiles and framed mirrors over the dual sinks beautifully. The framed windows and framed shower alcove perfectly marry the vanity space with the shower area. With home prices rising and residential lots getting smaller, this Encinitas couple decided to stay in place and add on to their beloved home and neighborhood. Retired, but very active, they planned for the golden years while having fun along the way. This Master Suite now fosters their passion for dancing as a studio for practice and dance parties. With every detail meticulously designed and perfected, their new indoor/outdoor space is the highlight of their home. "We found Kerry at TaylorPro early on in our decision process. He was the only contractor to give us a detailed budgetary bid for are original vision of our addition. This level of detail was ultimately the decision factor for us to go with TaylorPro. Throughout the design process the communication was thorough, we knew exactly what was happening and didn’t feel like we were in the dark. Construction was well run and their attention to detail was a predominate character of Kerry and his team. Dancing is such a large part of our life and our new space is the loved by all that visit." ~ Liz & Gary O. Photos by: Jon Upson
