Designer's Notes

This bath creates a luxurious space for husband and wife. A freestanding quarter-sawn island centered in the room matches the quartered oak double doors and offers continuity moving into the room. Each spouse has his or her own space with two large, beaded inset, white painted vanities, double medicine cabinets and framed mirrors. The shower and toilet area were placed on a diagonal to soften the space. An antique-style freestanding tub with period faucets was nestled into a seven-window alcove for a lovely focal point. Subway tile wainscoting adds old world charm. Natural stone with a mosaic border on the floor accentuates the shape of the room. The result; an architecturally elegant bath is highlighted with broad casings, as well as crown and base moldings. Photo by Peter Rymwid.
