Custom wood paneling applied to the wall and ceiling. Rope lighting was placed behind the wood to create an illusion of floating wood paneling. The chandelier was meant to add a transitional element to the space. The orbit surround is modern, while the crystal chandelier in the middle is more traditional creating an amazing transitional piece. It truly catches your eye upon entering the home.

This kitchen is the perfect play on modern versus classic. The melamine grey cabinetry is very modern yet the wood grain gives it that more traditional feel. All the appliances are modern stainless steel. The lighting pendants are very transitional as is the quartz countertops. Although not shown well in this photo, the countertops, which also have been applied to the walls as a back splash, have a grey veining, giving them the appearance of carrara marble. Quartz is a great alternative to marble, as it is much more function and maintenance free.

This corner china cabinet made the perfect display for a smaller space. The faint pattern in the glass also copies the pattern on the accent cabinet in the entryway to tie the spaces together.

Updated Spec Home: Basement Bathroom In our Updated Spec Home: Basement Bath, we reveal the newest addition to my mom and sister’s home – a half bath in the Basement. Since they were spending so much time in their Basement Family Room, the need to add a bath on that level quickly became apparent. Fortunately, they had unfinished storage area we could borrow from to make a nice size 8′ x 5′ bath. Working with a Budget and a Sister We were working with a budget, but as usual, my sister and I blew the budget on this awesome patterned tile flooring. (Don’t worry design clients – I can stick to a budget when my sister is not around to be a bad influence!). With that said, I do think this flooring makes a great focal point for the bath and worth the expense! On the Walls We painted the walls Sherwin Williams Sea Salt (SW6204). Then, we brought in lots of interest and color with this gorgeous acrylic wrapped canvas art and oversized decorative medallions. All of the plumbing fixtures, lighting and vanity were purchased at a local big box store. We were able to find streamlined options that work great in the space. We used brushed nickel as a light and airy metal option. As you can see this Updated Spec Home: Basement Bath is a functional and fabulous addition to this gorgeous home. Be sure to check out these other Powder Baths we have designed (here and here). And That’s a Wrap! Unless my mom and sister build an addition, we have come to the end of our blog series Updated Spec Home. I hope you have enjoyed this series as much as I enjoyed being a part of making this Spec House a warm, inviting, and gorgeous home for two of my very favorite people!
