The bedroom wall was kicked out an extra four feet to provide a sitting area. Abundant windows and a high tray ceiling create a light, airy feeling.
Instead of using a wall-to-wall mirror, which has a more contemporary look, the vanity mirror is framed in wood like a picture and flanked by sconces, continuing the antique Mediterranean look established in the bedroom.
The shower is the focal point of the bath, with its highly decorative stone and border details.
Host Joan Kohn tours a relaxing, sun-filled Florida home that takes full advantage of golf course and lake views, with Amy Nease of Hunt Construction. The owners preferred a Mediterranean look for the master suite, which is isolated from the rest of the house, to provide an oasis of privacy when company visits.
The ceiling in the bedroom is a double step tray with crown molding on each of the three levels. It creates an elegant, Old World look.
French doors were used for the entrance onto the lanai. In addition to transferring light, the doors can be opened during the warm winters for ventilation.
The focal point of the bath is the shower with its elaborate tile work and intricate borders. The choice was made to spend money on the tile instead of multiple shower heads.
Other features in the bath were left understated so the shower could be the most important feature.
