We’re here in the primary bathroom. The aesthetic in this room, again, is very clean and very modern. We’re using two different stones, and we wanted to incorporate an accent wall. That was something that appeared in a lot of the design inspiration pictures that we were working off of. And we incorporated a very nice tall niche in there to, again, try to get as much storage as possible in the shower, but look like an integrated feature.
You will see that we repeated that accent wall on the back wall of this toilet room. We designed the vanity on this project to have this beautiful reeded front, but we didn’t want to add hardware, so we created a finger pull that doesn’t require hardware. And then within this area, we also incorporated a second drawer to get as much storage as we could. And of course, because of the plumbing, we have done the cutout in it. And this we did in all three sections, so there’s plenty of storage along the vanity. We designed a beautiful new lighted mirror to take up the entire vanity wall, so it’s very clean, not requiring any sconces or any hanging light fixtures and I think it looks beautiful. One other feature that we love, this one portion of the switch, hit it and the entire bathroom goes off.
