This project was a Guest House for a long time Battle Associates Client. Smaller, smaller, smaller the owners kept saying about the guest cottage right on the water's edge. The result was an intimate, almost diminutive, two bedroom cottage for extended family visitors. White beadboard interiors and natural wood structure keep the house light and airy. The fold-away door to the screen porch allows the space to flow beautifully. Photographer: Nancy Belluscio

Like the rest of the suite, the wall in the bathroom are also white. In this case, a larger section this room was accented with the darker wood panels to add drama. The deep soaking tub has room for two, and fantastic views of the backyard. The modern vanity is extra large for ample storage space, and plenty of room for each person to have their own space. Each sink is an undermount to maintain clean, uninterrupted lines on the counter. The whole vanity is mounted above the floor, which not only avoids subbed toes in the morning, it helps to lighten the presence of this large piece. Photo credit: MainFrame Photography
