Bathroom - transitional bathroom idea in Houston

The master bathroom is bright and airy - we added shiplap on all walls in line with the top of the window and they paint " Rainwashed " by Sherwin Williams on the wall above to the ceiling. A coastal inspired vanity light in brushed silver is centered over a capiz shell framed mirror.

Download our free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW Like many families with older children, this local Glen Ellyn couple wanted to expand the size of their kitchen while also creating a more open, airy feel for their main level. The home had plenty of space that included a formal living room, formal dining room, family room with eat-in area and kitchen with butler’s pantry. What it didn’t have, was an effortless flow between the areas used daily for cooking, eating and gathering. Additionally, the kitchen had become outdated, feeling dark and dismal, despite the abundance of natural light. Our clients wanted a bright, cheerful interior that would inspire the family to congregate in this part of the house. No easy feat with teenagers. An open floor plan design solved the issues with functionality and circulation, removing the walls that restricted flow and opening up the entry to the dining room. We also eliminated the rarely used butler’s pantry allowing us to expand the kitchen and add a large island for food prep and gathering. To create a sense of symmetry and consistency in the space, a clerestory window was added below the header and framed to match the existing adjacent entry from the living room. Inspired by the owner’s Scottish ancestry, the island cabinetry boasts a beautiful blue hue, paired with stools upholstered in a sprightly plaid. The built-in buffet area provides additional storage, topped with a beautiful wooden top stained to coordinate with the stunning tones of the flooring. The owner’s opted for stainless steel appliances, inspiring the selection of brushed silver light fixtures and polished chrome hardware. Marble-look quartz offered a durable, lightly colored surface to reflect sunlight and enhance the cheer factor. According to this happy family, this uplifting space is now everyone’s favorite place to gather.

Looking south, post remodel, what had been a bank of cabinets is now the main path through the kitchen. The stove (not visible) has been relocated to the north with its back against the new bar. The face of bar is made from salvaged fir sliding door panels that had been stored in the home's basement from its original construction. The fir floor of the kitchen has been removed and replaced with oak to match the dining room and living room. The fir was salvaged for use as the countertop of the bar and pantry. The original exhaust fan was removed and replaced with a Zephyr island exhaust with built-in LED lights (not visible) above the stove. The faux wood countertop and backsplash have been replaced with "Absolute Black" granite with a honed finish and Daltile 3" x 6" bright white subway tile. Combination power/led light strips were installed under the cabinets. An antique enamel topped cabinet (not visible) serves as a moveable island/landing spot and work surface. The center panels of the upper row of cabinets have been replaced with "mistlite" obscure glass. All of the cabinet pulls have been replaced with Van Dyke Restorers brushed silver "bow" handles. The hinges on the under-counter cabinets are new House of Antique Hardware 2-1/2" half-surface hinges to match the original ornamental butt hinges. The shape of the arched wall between the kitchen and dining room matches the wall between the dining room and living room. Two vintage light fixtures have been installed. Closest to the camera is a 100-year-old wrought iron chandelier Annette found through Etsy. In the kitchen, a farmhouse style overhead fixture of roughly the same age was acquired from Northend Lampworks. Brick on the exterior wall of the pantry and chimney has been exposed. The new dining room closet is based on the design of the former hall closet that was sacrificed as a space for the fridge. The hardware (glass pulls) of the original closet were salvaged for use on the new closet. The original hinges were used to outfit new cabinets on the east wall of the kitchen. The hinges for the new closet are replicas of Half Surface hinges from House of Antique Hardware. The bottom grill was custom made by Gem State Metal from a pattern we created in Photoshop. The grill preserves the function of the cold air return that was consumed by the closet when the north wall of the kitchen shifted 17" into the dining room. The space beneath the closet is lined with black foamcore for visual contrast. The top drawer of the closet is outfitted with a powerstrip plugged into an outlet built into the wall behind the drawer. The power strip is used to charge mobile devices such as iphones and tablets, out of sight. Since the closet is only 14" deep, hooks were installed instead of a coatrod.

Here is a close-up shot of the bar cabinetry and floating shelves which gives a clean but casual look to the space. There is plenty of room to make drinks or get a few snacks together. Although the quartz appears white in the photo, it is actually a light sandy colour picked up from the lighter tile in the backsplash. The multi toned travertine tile was chosen to coordinate with the composite brick fireplace adjacent to the bar.
