Drop-in bathtub - transitional beige tile and porcelain tile porcelain tile drop-in bathtub idea in Atlanta with raised-panel cabinets, white cabinets, granite countertops and green walls

Declutter: Yes, it takes some time and can be hard for some people, but going through all of your gadgets galore can help you assess; do I even need this? If you have an item that you know you don’t need, even on a yearly basis like a holiday meal, maybe it’s time for it to go. You’ll feel a weight lifted off your shoulders, and ready to take on the next portion of your organizing.

What was previously a closet is now a well-lit and functional bathroom complete with open shelving, large mirrors, drawers for storage and a unique tile shower detail. Photo credit: Real Estate Tours Oregon

Pack your bags, today we are heading out to the Netherlands! The Villa Aan De Vect is a beautiful modern home designed by the architectural firm HOGO from Helmon, in the Netherlands. The home, inside and out, incorporates the clean lines and neutral tones that we’ve come to expect from modern design. However, the designers were able to sprinkle in a few traditional elements such as muted still-life paintings, representational sculpture, and a reclaimed wood table that could hold the dinner conversation all on its own. The Villa Aan De Vect transitions between traditional and modern style with an elegant ease — both time periods resting comfortably on the strong shoulders of great design.

The interior walls of the shower area are cultured marble. This reduces grout line for cleaning and longevity in an old home that still moves quite a bit with the seasons. Tile was used above the shower line to tie in with the appearance of the flooring. This tile is visible through the open area above the shower door. A standard 32" wide tub was used, with a half wall behind it to create a full width shower shelf while providing more shoulder room when showering.

Our clients chose a modern tile was in the shower and on the floor to provide a continuous flow. We used Lanmark solid surfacing as the shower pan in this bathroom as it has no grout lines and is easy to maintain. The matching tile base trim continued the pattern in the floor up onto the trim vertically. We installed a Signature Hardware vanity made in bamboo, and replaced the countertop and undermount sink. George Kovacs Saber II lights were used to frame the new mirror. Hansgrohe shower fixtures and faucets were installed in brushed nickel. Sherwin Williams White Shoulders paint was applied to add more brightness to this lovely bathroom. Agalite sliding glass shower doors were installed with clear glass to further expand the small bathroom space. Holly Needham

Two design elements that contribute to the deck’s distinctive finished appearance are picture framing and parting boards. You see the art of picture framing where we used darker contrasting boards to frame the pool and its concrete shoulder. We inserted parting boards where two sections of the deck meet with boards running diagonally in different directions. Diagonals running in different directions and set off with parting boards are visual markers indicating sections of the deck that can be used as individual rooms.

Salida del Sol is a home designed for Revelstoke. Using advanced techniques for building envelope design, climate models, and thermal comfort design, this home has been carefully designed to live and perform well in the specific microclimate in which it resides. The house is oriented with maximum exposure and majority of the glazing to the southerly aspect, to greatly reduce energy costs by embracing passive solar gain and natural lighting. The other aspects of the home have minimal glazing, to insulate for the prevailing winds and harsh winter temperatures. We designed the layout so the living spaces are enjoyed on the southern side of the house and closets, bathrooms, and mechanical on the north. The garage, positioned on the north side of the house, provides a buffer zone to shield it from the northern exposure during the winter. The bedrooms are separated to optimise privacy, with the master bedroom oriented to receive the early morning sunlight coming from the east. A large southern window and glazed sliding door in the lounge room provide passive solar gain during the winter months and shoulder seasons, and the overhang of the eaves give shade during the summer heat. Operable windows have also been carefully planned for cross ventilation, helping to cool the rooms in the summer and bring fresh air in during any season. With thorough consideration given to wind patterns, daylighting, orientation and glazing, Salida del Sol ‘opens the sunrise’ for its operation and its occupants.
