Bathroom - rustic bathroom idea in San Francisco

This low-budget kitchen remodel used the existing configuration of plumbing and gas lines, but made maximal use of a previously under-utilized space. A subway tile backsplash and butcher block counters were affordable ways to add character to a basic IKEA kitchen. Compact appliances and extra-tall cabinetry make use of every inch.

his yard was transformed from a bland bilder basic to a fun and lush xeriscaped entry way. To make the yard feel bigger, we removed the driveway and used gravel from end to end, creating an open, borderless planting and patio space across the entire front yard. For extra security and privacy, a fence was added along the front, which features an automatic gate for easy use as they come and go. With the limestone facade being one of the customers least favorite features of the house, we planted fig ivy vines to grow and cover it.

The toilet was chosen for it's clean, sleek lines, and the fact it is a one piece unit (easier cleaning!) A cabinet over the toilet was custom built to house the toilet paper, and angled to follow the slope of the ceiling. Custom magazine rack was added beside the toilet and painted out to match the walls.
