A tiny bathroom transforms into a master suite when licensed contractor and host Matt Muenster expands this small space to include a jetted tub with artisan concrete surround and massive new shower. Chilewich flooring and fishtail oak accents warm the space with terrariums and water-textured art glass bringing in natural elements. Floating shelves and a custom cabinet with a built in espresso machine create a one of a kind coffee bar.
A bathroom barely bigger than a powder room expands into a grand luxury suite. The focal point is a huge wet room that houses a big, deep soaker tub and his/her shower heads and body sprays. Recycled granite highlights the tub wall, while three different types of tile are blended to create a unique "rug" in the shower area. Elegant, DIY candle lanterns are suspended above the tub, and an arched entry into the shower with three glass panels finish off the space and keeps the rest of the room dry. Opposite the shower sits a huge double sink vanity, featuring a soapstone countertop and plenty of cabinets and drawers for storage. The space is enhanced with two large mirrors with built-in light strips, pendants above each sink, and floating shelves in the space between mirrors. One of the mirrors even features a TV. A DIY string pendant provides unique lighting in the new water closet, and a DIY towel rack built with Ipe adds a final, functional feature.
