Michael K. Wilkinson Though the footprint of the hall bath did not change, we did gut the entire room. The client had the idea of a classic black and white look for this bathroom. The designer added add interest with a thin black border on the white tile chair rail. The same thin border was also used on the floor to create a basket weave tile inset. A strip of Absolute Black granite tops off the white knee wall that separates the tub and toilet. Relocating plumbing is always a challenge in existing apartments. That is why we try to work with existing stacks and pipes. In this case, the new tub filler faucet was relocated 12-inches from the existing location and placed on the knee wall. To accommodate the small footprint of the bathroom we used a 24-inch pedestal sink, round (not elongated) toilet and tub that is 4-feet 6-inches long (rather than a 5-foot standard tub. However, the new tub is 32-inches wide (the old one was narrower) which is more convenient for a shower tub. A frosted glass panel was placed on the knee wall to give the owners privacy while taking a shower—as you can see the window is across from the tub. A new showerhead was reinstalled in place of the existing one. We used a special rod with a cap–in addition to its use as a curtain rod, it also acts as a support for the glass panel.

First, we conducted thorough surface preparation including wall conditioning and primer application. Second, we precisely measured and calculated pattern repeats for perfect alignment. Third, we applied premium adhesive using professional techniques for long-lasting adhesion. Finally, we completed meticulous finishing work including seam treatment and detail trimming. **Chicago-Specific Challenges** River North high-rises present unique installation challenges including building access restrictions, climate-controlled environments, and coordination with building management.

This 2022 project was a fully custom mix and writing suite designed for multi-Grammy and Dove Award–winning producer and songwriter Kyle Lee. The goal was to create an environment that mirrors his creative workflow—quiet, natural, highly accurate, and intentionally crafted for long sessions of collaboration and focused work. The layout is compact but feels open thanks to high ceilings, soft daylight from the surrounding windows, and a palette of warm textures and natural materials. The room maintains a clean, grounded aesthetic without sacrificing technical performance, balancing style and acoustical precision in a way that supports both creativity and accuracy. Acoustic isolation was a core priority. The suite is fully separated from the rest of the home using sound-reducing wall assemblies, custom bass management including a full soft-ceiling trap and a false rear wall trap, and full-lite doors designed for controlled leakage. The result is a private, self-contained environment that integrates seamlessly with the home’s flow yet transforms into a focused creative space the moment the doors close. Monitoring was built around Kyle’s preferred ATC SCM45A loudspeakers, paired with Dynaudio subwoofers and calibrated specifically to the room’s frequency response. Every treatment, material, and speaker position was selected to ensure what Kyle hears while mixing precisely translates to the final master. The finished suite delivers an effortless feel with professional-grade performance—an inspiring, accurate, and dependable space built to support Kyle’s work at the highest level.

Please send us a message or contact us for custom orders - barudecor.com/custom-order/ Please include the dimensions, wood preference, and delivery location. For reference, this countertop was made of solid black walnut, butcher block style. Made from solid premium wood, our countertops are a perfect complement to your homes and businesses. Whether you’re looking to revamp your kitchen, bars, and restaurants to give a luxurious vibe, our custom countertops are made with natural material and give a rich appearance. They add value to your space and create a more inviting space. We only work with premium-grade woods like Teak, Walnut, White Oak, Ash, and Maple. Our pieces are completely customizable in terms of dimensions, edge designs, and finishes. We also have a CNC machine for making any cutouts precisely. Every statement piece is handcrafted in our shop based in San Diego using only the finest quality hardwood. We place a lot of care and experience into each one of our pieces for years of memories to come. Our slabs are sustainably sourced from different regions in the US, Central & South America and we work closely with our clients to select them. **Handmade item - Each piece is Custom Built To Order and finishes can vary, hence your piece will have a slight variation from the item shown in the photo as every piece of wood is different. We ship to all US via truck freight and all our tables are wrapped carefully and placed inside a wooden crate with high-quality insulation to ensure safe arrival. LEAD TIME: Our lead time varies from time to time but it is approximately 3-5 weeks plus 7-10 transit. We will let you know prior to placing the order. Rush orders are available for an additional fee depending on the project. FINISH: We work with different options for Residential and Commercial use such as Rubio Monocoat, Osmo Polix Hardwax oil, and Commercial Grade Conversion Varnish. Our finish maintains the natural look and feel of the wood, all while offering protection and durability. Here are some recommendations for keeping your countertop beautiful for a good time. Like every wood, maintenance depends a lot on how it is used. No matter what kind of sealant we apply liquids always win (with only one exception, an epoxy coating that looks like plastic, not very attractive). - I recommend always using coasters, keeping hot pans away from the surface, and never letting water sits on them. - For cleaning just a light mixture of soap and water and NEVER use harsh products like comet or Scotch Bright pads. If you follow the recommendations the countertop will look fresh and clean for at least 2 years and then you may want to consider re-sanding and coating again which is super easy with Rubio Monocoat oil finish. There is also a great maintenance oil developed by Rubio Monocoat - “Rubio Monocoat Renew” that refreshes, restores, and protects surfaces treated with Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C (the one we use for all our furniture). It’s recommended whenever the surface feels too dry or rough and it is super easy to apply in 3 steps: 1- Clean and dry the surface 2- Apply the oil using cloth rags, brush, or sponge 3- With kitchen tissue or cotton cloth remove all the excess oil within 10-15 min. The surface should be dry after 6-8 hours.
