The goal of this project was to upgrade the builder grade finishes and create an ergonomic space that had a contemporary feel. This bathroom transformed from a standard, builder grade bathroom to a contemporary urban oasis. This was one of my favorite projects, I know I say that about most of my projects but this one really took an amazing transformation. By removing the walls surrounding the shower and relocating the toilet it visually opened up the space. Creating a deeper shower allowed for the tub to be incorporated into the wet area. Adding a LED panel in the back of the shower gave the illusion of a depth and created a unique storage ledge. A custom vanity keeps a clean front with different storage options and linear limestone draws the eye towards the stacked stone accent wall. Houzz Write Up: https://www.houzz.com/magazine/inside-houzz-a-chopped-up-bathroom-goes-streamlined-and-swank-stsetivw-vs~27263720 The layout of this bathroom was opened up to get rid of the hallway effect, being only 7 foot wide, this bathroom needed all the width it could muster. Using light flooring in the form of natural lime stone 12x24 tiles with a linear pattern, it really draws the eye down the length of the room which is what we needed. Then, breaking up the space a little with the stone pebble flooring in the shower, this client enjoyed his time living in Japan and wanted to incorporate some of the elements that he appreciated while living there. The dark stacked stone feature wall behind the tub is the perfect backdrop for the LED panel, giving the illusion of a window and also creates a cool storage shelf for the tub. A narrow, but tasteful, oval freestanding tub fit effortlessly in the back of the shower. With a sloped floor, ensuring no standing water either in the shower floor or behind the tub, every thought went into engineering this Atlanta bathroom to last the test of time. With now adequate space in the shower, there was space for adjacent shower heads controlled by Kohler digital valves. A hand wand was added for use and convenience of cleaning as well. On the vanity are semi-vessel sinks which give the appearance of vessel sinks, but with the added benefit of a deeper, rounded basin to avoid splashing. Wall mounted faucets add sophistication as well as less cleaning maintenance over time. The custom vanity is streamlined with drawers, doors and a pull out for a can or hamper. A wonderful project and equally wonderful client. I really enjoyed working with this client and the creative direction of this project.

Family room - industrial open concept medium tone wood floor family room idea in Philadelphia with white walls and a wall-mounted tv

The Master Shower. The tile is the same 6 x 36 inch wood like porcelain plank that was used on the floor. How cool is this?! I was allowed to let my wood loving, unique seeking creative self out to play, carrying the wood tile from the floor up the baseboards, right over the shower curb and into the shower. This transformed this "hole in the wall" shower stall that had a 7 foot ceiling into a nice, bright, tall, comfortable shower that is truly a part of the room! The massive 33 x 33 inch high gloss tiles used on the walls make this 36 x 36 shower seem bigger, brighter and cleaner than it would feel otherwise. Amazingly, the huge wall tile was purchased for a wonderful $1.99 a foot!

We wanted to make an intimate bathroom in a limited space, so we tiled the ceiling and included a dimmable light over the shower for quiet lighting when desired.

The Master Bath. We wanted to create a bright, cozy space so we used a 6 x 36 inch wood like porcelain plank and this natural antique wood to make it all come together on a budget. How cool is this?!

Having the valves for "his" high shower head (not seen here) and her lower shower set to the right allows for the adjustment of temperature to be adjusted without having to be in the stream of the shower. The valve under the shower head allows for either or both the shower head and the hand shower to be active if you choose to relax on the bench and soak!

Another look at the neat antique wood used for the back splash. You can see the great GREAT big tile used for the counter top. It is a 33x33 inch high polish ceramic tile with a great finish! Only two tiles needed for a 60 inch vanity! Fun, fun fun!

Black Galaxy Granite... sooo pretty if you turn the tiles to show off the glitter in the right direction depending on the direction of the lighting!

Ulrich Designer: Tom Santarsiero Photography by Peter Rymwid This is a master bath with subtle sophistication and understated elegance. The cabinets were custom designed by Tom, with straight, simple lines, and custom built by Draper DBS of walnut, with a deep, rich brown finish. The richness of the dark cabinetry juxtaposed with the elegance of the white carrara marble on the countertop, wall and floors contributes to the room's sophistication. Ample storage is found in the large vanity and an armoire style cabinet, designed to mimic a free-standing furniture piece, that is positioned behind the door. Architectural beams placed across the vaulted ceiling bring a sense of scale to the room and invite natural light in through the skylight.
