This bathroom was done in historical Meridian Kessler. The design is inspired by already existing Arabian style arches in the doorways of this 100 year old house. In staying true to the period of the house and being that it is the master bathroom we went with tuxedo color theme. we used traditional white subway tile on the walls with a black and gray listello border that highlights the contour of the arch before continuing to wrap the perimeter of the bathroom along it's baseboard. This design was an exercise in listening to the house.

Two bookcase/display cabinets and a corner china cabinet with concealed LED lighting. The tops, adjustable wood shelves, cabinet bottoms, and the door frame are made of solid Honduran mahogany reclaimed from the homeowner's mother's dining table, adding a respectful heirloom aspect to the project. The laser engraved star pattern on the top borders was designed to complement a beautiful hand-stenciled design on a console cabinet in the adjacent room. The bases were made with an Asian-influenced design to reflect the style of many other items in the home from the homeowner's years of working in Asia. The top surfaces and the solid mahogany bases were stained ebony to coordinate with the dining table and to provide a color break between the floor and the cabinets. All the other mahogany is simply clear coated to highlight the beautiful color and iridescence of mahogany. The tops and front and side borders were assembled using lock miter construction. We extend special thanks and recognition to Trefoil Laser Services, Inc. of Greensboro, NC (www.trefoillaser.com) for the beautiful and precise laser engraving on the top borders.

Artificial Turf At the center of the landscape is a vibrant green area covered with high-quality artificial turf. The turf is meticulously installed to ensure a seamless and natural look, providing a low-maintenance, year-round green space. The artificial turf is bordered by concrete to maintain a clean and defined edge, preventing the turf from fraying and maintaining the overall neat appearance. Natural Planter Adjacent to the artificial turf is a beautifully designed natural planter. This planter is filled with a variety of thriving plants, including colorful flowers, ornamental grasses, and small shrubs. The planter is constructed from concrete, matching the style of the surrounding hardscaping. It has a slightly elevated design, which helps in highlighting the plants and provides an interesting visual contrast to the flat turf. Concrete Patios On one side of the turf, there is a spacious concrete patio. The patio is designed with a smooth, polished finish, offering a modern and elegant look. It's an ideal area for outdoor furniture, making it perfect for dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing outdoors. The concrete patio is connected to the house by a series of stepping stones that blend into the landscape seamlessly. Sidewalks Concrete sidewalks meander through the landscape, connecting different areas and providing a clear path for navigation. These sidewalks have a brushed finish, adding a subtle texture that enhances both safety and aesthetics. They are bordered by lush greenery and flower beds, which soften the hard edges of the concrete and create a balanced look. Concrete Border Surrounding the entire landscape is a concrete border that ties the various elements together. This border is slightly raised, providing a clear demarcation between different areas, such as the artificial turf, natural planter, and the surrounding greenery. The border also helps in containing soil and mulch within the planter areas, maintaining a clean and organized appearance.

This is a cheerful and bright children's bath on the upper east side. Royal blue plumbing and a royal blue and white checkerboard border tile highlight the simple and clean space. A cantiliver sink makes it easy for the children to wash up.

On this patio, to provide some interest, we installed a border that highlights the lines of the patio and creates a more attractive patio space.
