The unique design challenge in this early 20th century Georgian Colonial was the complete disconnect of the kitchen to the rest of the home. In order to enter the kitchen, you were required to walk through a formal space. The homeowners wanted to connect the kitchen and garage through an informal area, which resulted in building an addition off the rear of the garage. This new space integrated a laundry room, mudroom and informal entry into the re-designed kitchen. Additionally, 25” was taken out of the oversized formal dining room and added to the kitchen. This gave the extra room necessary to make significant changes to the layout and traffic pattern in the kitchen. Beth Singer Photography

In the design stages many details were incorporated in this classic kitchen to give it dimension since the surround cabinets, counters and backsplash were white. Polished nickel plumbing, hardware and custom grilles on feature cabinets along with the island pendants add shine, while finer details such as inset doors, furniture kicks on non-working areas and lofty crown details add a layering effect in the millwork. Surround counters as well as 3" x 6" backsplash tile are Calacutta Gold stone, while island counter surface is walnut. Conveniences include a 60" Wolf range, a 36" Subzero refrigerator and freezer and two farmhouse sinks by Kallista. The kitchen also boasts two dishwashers (one in the island and one to the right of the sink cabinet under the window) and a coffee bar area with a built-in Miele. Photo by Pete Maric.

Corner shower - cottage master white tile and subway tile gray floor corner shower idea in San Francisco with flat-panel cabinets, dark wood cabinets, a two-piece toilet, white walls, an undermount sink, a hinged shower door and white countertops

This Mill Valley residence under the redwoods was conceived and designed for a young and growing family. Though technically a remodel, the project was in essence new construction from the ground up, and its clean, traditional detailing and lay-out by Chambers & Chambers offered great opportunities for our talented carpenters to show their stuff. This home features the efficiency and comfort of hydronic floor heating throughout, solid-paneled walls and ceilings, open spaces and cozy reading nooks, expansive bi-folding doors for indoor/ outdoor living, and an attention to detail and durability that is a hallmark of how we build.

What an incredible bath! Spacious, modern, clean lines yet so warm and inviting. There’s more than enough room for two, with lots of counter space and elbow room. A little nook for privacy, an open shower with multiple showerheads and a bench. What a great space.Now the old bath wasn’t too shabby either. It had good bones. It was good-sized, with vanities for two and a decent sized shower. But, despite its great beginnings, from there it fell short. To start with, the toilet was the first thing you saw when you opened the door. Rather than a shower door, the shower was curtained, which blocked the room’s limited lighting. The floor was light but didn’t have any wow factor. And although the vanities were very pretty, they lacked sufficient counter top or storage.Welcome to the new shower. What a difference a glass door can make. Not only does the bath’s light stream in, but we added recess lights and a window. The shower is bright and energizing. We borrowed space from an adjoining room and created this large shower, with all the bells and whistles our homeowner was looking for.Our super sized shower got super sized glass panels. The frameless door features chrome hinges and handle to compliment the fixtures. For ultimate relaxation, a large rainshower head was installed in the ceiling for a gentle spray. The 12” Rain Shower Head and Arm, Kohler K13694-CPA, is one of the largest showerheads available for the full effect of a rain shower. A long bench lines the rear wall, to sit or to truly lounge. The walls received a lighter tile in a sweeping stone, to keep that open feel but we added contrast on the shower floor with a coco brown mosaic. For a touch of drama, we brought an even darker mosaic up to the walls and installed another decorative mosaic between the rows for a decorative accent border,The shower features lots of storage with a recessed niche encased in the rich creme brulee mosaic, as well as two corner shelves that match the walls. The mosaics are made of small brick shaped glass tiles installed with a staggered joint, a perfect accent to our large rectangular stone tiles, also installed with a staggered joint. We keep the grouting light so the pattern wasn’t overwhelming.We installed our second showerhead on a slide bar for multiple positioning. This handheld functions on the flipside. The Flipside handheld from Kohler offers function with different sprays in one unique showerhead. From a wide spray, a waterfall, pulsing and a mix of many, this handheld spray changes with a simple flip. We installed a diverter for flexibility and separate hot and cold levers for better temperature control.Although lovely, these two vanities were simply not working in this master bath. The small individual vanities had little storage and the vessel bowls took up most of the counter tops. A single outlet was shared and the lighting was minimal. The best thing about this configuration was the space for the trash can.We traded in those two for this one, this very long one. This large vanity from Bertech Bath of made of birch wood with Sable stain, adds depth to the colors of our bath. A light stone mosaic in our favorite brick pattern made for a beautiful backsplash, with Sable mirrors above. To bring all our colors together, we chose Misty Brown granite with a clean pencil edge. Although beautiful in their design, this functional task lighting, Linen Americana from WAC, keeps this half of the bath as light and bright as the shower area.We wanted this vanity to be as custom as the ones we replaced. The raised panel detail of the Villager door and gentle beading on the drawers gave our vanity a furniture feel, especially with the added “feet”. The vanity is full of storage, from the two double door cabinets to the his and hers drawers on each side. Our pulls have a subtle design in chrome, as do our knobs.For ease of cleaning and a lighter contrast, we installed undermount Ladena white sinks from Kolher. The brilliant chrome faucets, also from Kohler, are from the Bancroft series as are the towel bars and other accessories in the bath. We centered multiple outlets in our backsplash wall for easy use by both and look at all that elbow room.We added a half wall for a little privacy. Behind it, the Kohler Cimarron toilet in white with a Cachet seat also from Kohler. We capped that half wall with a piece of the beautiful Misty Brown granite and added storage above with a wall cabinet, also from Bertech, in Sable.What once had good bones, now has great bones. Golden stone tiles, the creme brulee mosaics, the Sable brown vanity and the misty brown granite, throw a warm latte color on the walls and it’s the perfect bath, with a showerhead on the flipside and a one vanity perfect for two.

This dream bathroom has everything one can wish for an ideal bathroom escape. It doesn’t just look fabulous – it works well and it is built to stand the test of time. This bathroom was designed as a private oasis, a place to relax and unwind. Spa-like environment is created by expansive double-sink custom vanity, an elegant free standing tub, and a spacious two-person barrier-free shower with a floating bench. Toilet is concealed within a separate nook behind a pocket door. Main bathroom area is outlined by a tray ceiling perimeter. The room looks open, airy and spacious. Nothing interferes with the ceiling design and overall space configuration. It hasn’t always been that way. Former layout had serious pitfalls that made the room look much smaller. The shower concealed behind solid walls protruded into the main area clashing with the tray ceiling geometry. Massive shower stall took up significant amount of the room leaving no continuous wall space for a double sink vanity. There were two separate vanities with a dead corner space between them. At the same time, the toilet room was quite spacious with just one fixture in the far end. New layout not only looks better, it allows for a better functionality and fully reveals the space potential. The toilet was relocated to occupy the former linen closet space slightly expanded into adjacent walk-in closet. Shower was moved into the bigger alcove, away from the tray ceiling area. It opened up the room while giving space for a gorgeous wall-to-wall vanity. Having a full glass wall, the shower extends the space even further. Sparkling glass creates no barrier to the eyesight. The room feels clean, breezy and extra spacious. Gorgeous frame-less shower enclosure with glass-to-glass clamps and hinges shows off premium tile designs of the accent shower wall. Free standing tub remained in its original place in front of the window. With no solid shower walls nearby, it became a focal point adorned with the new crystal chandelier above it. This two-tier gorgeous chandelier makes the bathroom feel incredibly grand. A touch of luxury is showing up in timeless polished chrome faucet finish selections as well. New expansive custom vanity has his and her full height linen towers, his and her sink cabinets with two individual banks of drawers on the sides and one shared drawer cabinet in the middle containing a charging station in the upper drawer. Vanity counter tops and floating shower seat top are made of high-end quartz. Vessel sinks resemble the shape and style of the free-standing tub. To make the room feel even more spacious and to showcase the shower area in the reflection, a full size mirror is installed over the vanity. Crystal sconces are installed directly into the mirror. Crisp classic white tile gives the room a timeless sense of polish and luxury. Walls around the perimeter of the entire bathroom are tiled half way. Three rows of 12”x 24” porcelain tile resembling white marble are crowned with a thin row of intricate glass tiles with marble accents, and a chair rail tile. Tile design flows into a spacious barrier-free two-person walk-in shower. Two more tile patterns of the same tile collection are brought into play. Rear wall is adorned with a picture frame made out of 12”x12” tiles laid at 45 degree angle within the same chair rail and glass tile border. Shower floor is made of small hexagon tiles for proper drainage. Shower area has two hidden from plain sight niches to contain shampoo bottles and toiletries. The rear side of the niches is made of glass mosaics for a waterfall effect. To showcase the picture frame inside the shower, the accent shower wall is washed with cascading light from a discrete LED strip tucked in a cove behind “floating” shower ceiling platform. Multiple shower heads (two ceiling-mount rain heads, one multi-functional wall mount shower head, and a handheld shower) are able to provide a fully customizable shower experience. Despite of many hard surfaces and shiny finishes, which can sometimes lead to a cold impersonal feeling, this bathroom is cozy and truly welcoming. This sense of warms is maintained by exclusive multi-functional layered lighting. Carefully designed groups of lights (all having a dimmer control) can be used simultaneously, in various combinations, or separately to create numerous different effects and perfect atmosphere for every mood and occasion. Some lights have smart controls and can be operated remotely. Amazing effect can be achieved by dimmable toe kick perimeter lighting. With the ceiling lights turned off, the vanity looks as if it is floating in the air. Multifaceted crystal fixtures produce cascades of sparkling rainbow reflections dancing around the room and creating an illusion of a starry sky. Programmable radiant heating floor offers additional warmth and comfort to the room. This bathroom is well suited for either a quick morning shower or a night in for ultimate relaxation with a champagne toast and a long soak in the freestanding tub.

This was a tub removal and shower build for a client that is handicapped. We made it so he could set on the outside then slide into the shower. We had the mixer installed by the seat and the ability the switch shower heads if standing.
