Minimizing clutter by electrifying drawers and cabinets in the vanity is often high on people's list when it comes time to plan how the owner wants the space to function. Iridescence in the tile mosaic brings a bit of whimsy to the design. Design: Laura Lerond. Photo: Dan Bawden.

This shapely, freestanding tub is filled, of all things, from a tub-filler mounted in the ceiling! The water stream is evident in the photo with the shade pulled down, but you can see how blessed this bath is with many windows providing the welcoming daylight. Photo: Dan Bawden.

In this striking design for aging-in-place, the open-door tub fits right in with the stylish color palette and custom tiled mosaic seen reflected in the mirror. A wheelchair can pull directly up to the sink, and transfer to the tub is made simple. The tub can even be used as a shower with the inclusion of a frameless glass enclosure and shampoo niche.

Looking under these cabinets reveals a plenitude of power - switches, outlets, lights, strips, all hidden unless you are looking for the source. Phone: Dan Bawden.

This masterpiece is a completely custom-built entertainment center. The large porcelain tile feature in the center of the structure displays a large swivel-mounted 4k TV. Below that is a color-changing LED fireplace.

Light pours in from the lighted ceiling fan and wall sconces playing off the unusual archways and sleek shcluter system trim.

Here is a glorious view of a ceiling tub filler. Water flows effortlessly into the tub below making this stand-alone tub stand out. Gorgeous plank tile brings continuity to each feature of this one of a kind, truly custom bathroom.

In this monochromatic bath, you can observe closely to notice that the same tile in a different size has been used on the floor, the shower walls, and the shower floor. Also take note that there is no curb and no door, leaving this shower quite accessible and clean in line though sparing of form. Grab bars at the toilet and in the shower facilitate universal design principles in action. Photo: Dan Bawden.

This Corian-paneled shower has a definite spa quality to it, sporting three shampoo niches, a frameless shower enclosure with a handle that doubles as a towel rack, and no curb for easy accessibility. You would never guess that this used to be a tub! The showerhead is mounted on a slider bar so that any height is achievable, and lever handles make the valves easy to control.

Glamour prevails in this sharply-dressed Master bath of marble, from the large format, offset floor tiles to herringbone-patterned shower walls, tub surround, backsplash, and countertops. Polished nickel fixtures and hardware bring the bling along with a sexy chandelier and pewter medallion. Design: Laura Lerond. Photo: Dan Bawden.
