BEFORE<br />
The homeowners just purchased this lovely home but the kitchen was cramped and felt on top of<br />
the family room. The plan was to remove a load bearing wall between the kitchen and dining room<br />
and relocate the kitchen into the dining room. The old kitchen space then became the dinette area<br />
and the old formal living room became the new formal dining room. We removed windows in the<br />
dining room where the new cooktop and hood were to be installed in the new design and added a<br />
window in the dining room where the home for the kitchen sink was to be placed. This opened up<br />
the entire first floor plan and made it function better for this growing family and to also entertain<br />
for years to come.<br />

BEFORE<br />
I had a wonderful experience working with Kitchen Kraft on our renovation project. Jim was very thoughtful<br />
in the layout. He made sure it was not only aesthetically beautiful, but also functionally tailored to my<br />
family’s lifestyle. For example, the sink and window look out onto my backyard as opposed to the side of my<br />
home. That way I can cook and still watch my small children while they play outside. The design process was<br />
so fun. Jim helped me find details and fixtures that showcased my primarily traditional decorating style with<br />
small hints of french country and farmhouse.<br />
The team of contractors that worked on our project were fantastic. They were very friendly and did<br />
outstanding work. The project was completed ahead of schedule, and we are just thrilled with the results.<br />

EDITOR’S<br />
NOTE<br />
GREATER COLUMBUS<br />
As someone who has a tote bag full of paint chips and a shelf in my basement<br />
full of sample pints, I have to admit I am not particularly good at making home<br />
decorating decisions. I am convinced the perfect color, fabric, sofa, light fixture…<br />
is out there, I just need to look in enough stores, read enough magazines,<br />
or search enough websites to find it.<br />
There’s no doubt this kind of hand wringing is annoying for anyone who is<br />
unfortunate enough to be in my home listening to my laments. And I apologize<br />
once again to my color-blind husband for my repeatedly asking “what do you<br />
think of this color?”<br />
But that kind of thinking came into play when I read about one of the<br />
products showcased at February’s Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS).<br />
BlueStar, a manufacturer of high-performance appliances, introduced a line<br />
in which custom images can be applied directly on refrigerators and ranges.<br />
Not only that, they offer an assortment of more than 1,000 colors, a “rainbow<br />
of knob colors” and 10 metal trims. Whoa! That calls for a serious number of<br />
decisions!<br />

And then there’s tile. While I was gathering photos for our Time to Talk Tile<br />
article for this issue, I kept thinking about redoing my kitchen backsplash.<br />
Would I pick a bold and colorful pattern? Or play it safe with a subtle subwaystyle<br />
pick?<br />

Patterns, textures and colors are<br />
ready to climb your walls and floors<br />
It’s hard to imagine a category that offers you more choices for kitchen, bath or<br />
flooring design selections than tile. First, there’s the material it’s made of: ceramic,<br />
porcelain, glass, cement, metal and stone. Then there is the shape: subway,<br />
hexagonal, square, ogee and more. Then of course the one that really<br />
draws us in…that amazing array of colors. We’ve selected a few standouts<br />
that come with a bit of a contemporary flair. See if you have a favorite. ➻<br />
Astral Plane Porcelain Stone from Crossville<br />

Live large<br />
Generously oversized tiles can make a<br />
space feel larger and less busy. Fewer<br />
grout lines help create a sleek look,<br />
and a lower level of maintenance in<br />
applications such as a shower surround.<br />
Consider the Astral Plane<br />
Porcelain Stone from Crossville. It’s<br />
recommended for interior floors,<br />
walls, countertops, and exterior walls<br />
and is available in sizes 24x24, 12x24<br />
and 6x24.<br />
Glow with glass<br />
While Americans primarily use tile in<br />
kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms<br />
and entry foyers, in other parts of<br />
the world, it is frequently used to add<br />
color and texture to different areas of<br />
the home. Consider creating a focal<br />
wall in a living room or study with<br />
tile like Luce Clipper from Lunada<br />
Bay. This glass tile reflects light like<br />
sunlight shimmering on water.<br />

Add an accent<br />
If an overall wash of color is a bit<br />
too much for your taste, consider a<br />
neutral field tile with just a vibrant<br />
accent piece scattered throughout<br />
your design. Charley Harper for<br />
Installation, Motawi’s 3x6 ceramic<br />
subway tile line, features 10 of<br />
Harper’s whimsical wildlife designs<br />
with his characteristic midcentury<br />
modern style.<br />
See in 3D<br />
Your walls and floors will come alive<br />
when you add a three-dimensional<br />
tile that gives the space an appealing<br />
visual texture with a raised, uneven<br />
look. A selection such as Herald by<br />
Original Style tricks the eye and<br />
makes you want to rub your hands<br />
across its surface before you convince<br />
yourself that it is actually flat.<br />

Speak with stone<br />
It’s hard to beat the statement you make when you add the look of natural stone—granite,<br />
marble, limestone or travertine—to a space, especially when it’s laid in large segments. Drawing<br />
inspiration from both nature and modernist architecture, Barcelona from Walker Zanger is a<br />
collection of glazed porcelain tiles that recreates the appearance of vein-cut onyx.<br />

Go with a classic<br />
Hexagonal tiles are a classic that have made their way, in a one-inch format,<br />
to bathroom floors since the early 1900s. In a stylish update, Fireclay Tile has<br />
introduced their Ombre Hexagon 6-inch wall tiles that can be used to create<br />
a fun and futuristic kitchen backsplash that celebrates a clean aesthetic and<br />
bold originality.<br />

Go big with mosaics<br />
You can make a very big statement<br />
with tiny tiles. Mosaic tiles, made of<br />
ceramic, porcelain, glass, natural stone<br />
or metal, typically come mounted on<br />
a mesh sheet. Instead of a random<br />
pattern, you might want to consider a<br />
more deliberate design, such as Kyoto<br />
Skies from New Ravenna which features<br />
inviting graphics made of handcut<br />
jewel glass.<br />
Ride to Morocco<br />
The ogee is a curved shape consisting<br />
of a concave arc and vertical ends. This<br />
shape is often referred to as Moroccan<br />
and its history can be traced back to<br />
ancient Persia. You might choose a<br />
ceramic tile such as Sofia Mosaic from<br />
Walker Zanger to showcase the graceful<br />
curves and bright hues that are<br />
indicative of this family.<br />

Beavercreek contemporary blends a neutral<br />
palette with organic accents<br />

Touches of caramel and<br />
organic elements add to<br />
the inviting atmosphere.<br />

In the White Barn Trails community in Beavercreek, the scenery<br />
and surroundings set the tone for the homes which seamlessly<br />
integrate into the existing landscape. The community, which<br />
reflects country living with in-town convenience, boasts miles<br />
of walking trails along greenways, woods and ponds, and each<br />
home is positioned in such a way as to showcase this natural<br />
beauty. One home in particular is a master study in elegance,<br />
proportion, scale and light ; let it inspire the dreamer in you. ➻<br />

Architectural details keep the ceiling<br />
spaces interesting throughout the home.<br />
30 housetrends.com
The family who owns this transitionalstyle<br />
home opted to bring the beauty of<br />
the outdoors in. “We warmed up the<br />
entire house with natural elements, such<br />
as driftwood shelving, antler-inspired<br />
chandeliers, and lots of different textures,”<br />
says the homeowner.<br />
These elements work nicely within the<br />
home’s bright, airy floor plan that captures<br />
views of the outdoors from every angle. “Our<br />
goal is to create open and livable floor plans<br />
for our clients that minimize wasted space,”<br />
explains the home’s builder, Gordon White,<br />
president and founder of G.A. White Homes.<br />
Distinctive details<br />
The color palette leans toward a series of<br />
sophisticated whites and natural wood colors.<br />
The white is juxtaposed by black tones<br />
throughout, including black outlines around all<br />
the windows. “The black is the accent theme to<br />
the house,” explains the homeowner.<br />
“We pride ourselves on the distinctive details<br />
of our houses, putting unique and different<br />
ideas in each,” Gordon explains. “Every house<br />
is individual to that owner. We never build the<br />
same thing twice.” That unique attention to<br />
detail translates to interiors as well, because<br />
the company has an in-house interior design<br />
team to help with everything from furniture<br />
to fixtures.<br />
In this home, the homeowners wanted to create<br />
visual interest by incorporating decorative<br />
ceilings, such as the one in the great room. The<br />
great room also features 30 feet of Palladian<br />
windows overlooking the outdoors, as well as<br />
free-floating shelves with hidden LED strip<br />
lights for cleverly concealed accent lighting,<br />
lending an elegant look to the shiplap wall<br />
behind the shelves. The caramel colors within<br />
the room compliment the hue of the wood<br />
table and flooring.<br />
➻<br />
housetrends magazine <strong>2021</strong> 31
Open kitchen concept<br />
The adjacent kitchen has white quartz countertops and a tone-on-tone textured<br />
white backsplash, but also has dark accents, including on the island, bar<br />
stools, and light fixtures. The spacious black oak table in the eating area ties<br />
all those colors together, and this space connects to the deck, perfect for entertaining,<br />
and showcases more spectacular outdoor views.<br />
“I love to entertain,” says the homeowner, “and I can easily pull the plates out<br />
of the built-in to set the table.” She’s referring to the open shelving and closed<br />
cabinetry in her dining room. As for the kitchen, it’s a cook’s paradise, with a<br />
48-inch range and half a dozen burners, two ovens below and many other topof-the-line<br />
appliances. ➻<br />

Lower level lushness<br />
There are additional appliances in the lower<br />
level, which feels like anything but a basement.<br />
With a double bar, beverage center<br />
and wine chiller, this space is rivaled by the<br />
glass-enclosed wine room, which is the first<br />
thing one sees when descending the stairs<br />
and which sets the tone for the entire space.<br />
Free-floating wine racks are mounted to a wall<br />
of whitewashed cedar. “We have visited Napa<br />
and enjoy nice wines with our family and<br />
friends. The builder designed this space to fit<br />
our specific needs,” explains the homeowner.<br />
Owners’ suite with a view<br />
The spacious master bedroom and bath exude<br />
a tranquil vibe. The wood treatment on the<br />
back wall of the bedroom brings warmth to<br />
the room and pulls all the tones within the<br />
room together. The mirror-fronted chest has<br />
handles comprised of GeoStones, creating an<br />
artist statement not unlike those made by<br />
the artwork throughout the rest of the house<br />
and in the master bath. The bath also has a<br />
free-floating tub sitting behind the shower,<br />
which features dual access and no doors. Both<br />
the bedroom and bath overlook the pond and<br />
fountain, for a pleasing view to begin each day.<br />
The home’s laundry room and entryway off<br />
the garage are not short on custom details,<br />
with custom-designed cubbies, built-in and<br />
retractable shelving, pull-out drawers, and<br />
much more, creating versatile convenience.<br />
“We wanted a home that is comfortable and<br />
livable,” says the homeowner.<br />
“We don’t limit ourselves,” explains Gordon.<br />
“We go all over the country to find new and<br />
innovate ideas.” He says his favorite part of<br />
the homebuilding process is being able to<br />
exercise his creativity. “You’re starting with<br />
a piece of ground, the natural landscape, and<br />
designing a product that will be there for<br />
years to come.” ➻<br />

family mementos. 2 A sleek Roman shower and standalone<br />
tub offer crisp, contemporary touches in the<br />
master bath. 3 Dual islands in the lower level allow<br />
for plenty of space for party prep and enjoyment. 4<br />
Soft grays on the walls, floors and furnishings create<br />
calmness in the inviting master bedroom.<br />

modern home in the <strong>Columbus</strong> neighborhood<br />
of Upper Arlington were ready to update their<br />
kitchen, it was important to them that the style of<br />
the remodel be in sync with the architecture of<br />
the house.<br />
That was their primary focus when they called<br />
J.S. Brown & Co., the team that had completed<br />
two earlier renovations in their home. When they<br />
met with designer Monica Lewis there were a<br />
few other requests that would influence the new<br />
design as well. ➻<br />
housetrends magazine <strong>2021</strong> 39
About two years prior, the owners had installed several high-end appliances—including<br />
a Sub-Zero glass-door refrigerator and a Wolf range—<br />
and they wanted to keep these in play. Plus, their place is home to a golden<br />
retriever and the terracotta tile floors were well-tested and appreciated for<br />
the fact that they were low-maintenance and easy to clean. For that reason,<br />
they wanted to extend the tile into the adjacent living area as well.<br />
Taking in those parameters and the kitchen’s U-shaped footprint, Lewis<br />
was ready to begin.<br />
“The first thing we did was rework the layout of the appliances,” the<br />
designer says. “The range had previously been placed tight into a blind<br />
corner. We moved it down to the middle of the run along the wall.” The<br />
only appliance that needed to be added was a Sharp microwave drawer.<br />
On the wall adjacent to the refrigerator, there used to be a big storage<br />
area with bypass doors. That was replaced with a bank of floor-to-ceiling<br />
cabinetry with alcoves for displaying favorite pieces from the homeowner’s<br />
ceramic collection.<br />
The lower cabinets are frameless with a flat paneled door and made of<br />
a durable, impact-resistant, thermally fused laminate. Upper cabinets flip<br />
open and stay up and out of the way while cooks work. Their aluminum<br />
frames are inset with a clear, but textured, glass that was custom etched<br />
by the artisans at Franklin Art Glass so the view of the contents would be<br />
more diffused.<br />
“I love that the homeowner went with that horizontal format on the<br />
cabinets,” Lewis says. “In fact, I like the horizontal feel of the whole kitchen.<br />
It was fun to do something that was in keeping with the architecture of the<br />
house.”<br />

Living in a V<br />
Formation<br />
Indian Hill contemporary shapes itself<br />
around the view<br />
BY KAREN BRADNER | PHOTOS BY ROSS VAN PELT<br />
Typically, when you see a sleek, contemporary home,<br />
you don’t imagine a scene with young children running<br />
throughout the space. But don’t be fooled by the crisp,<br />
minimalistic style of this 8,000-square-foot Indian Hill home.<br />
It was very much designed with family living in mind.<br />
“I wish it looked as good right now as it does in these photos,” the homeowner says. With a four-year-old<br />
son, a seven-year-old daughter and a dog, this home sees plenty of occasions of clutter and chaos, but the<br />
design and selections were carefully planned to accommodate all the residents, as well as the family and<br />
friends who visit them. ➻<br />

Coming home<br />
After living in the San Francisco Bay<br />
area for 14 years, the owner and his<br />
wife, whom he met and married while<br />
living there, decided to raise their<br />
family back in his hometown.<br />
“We lived in a contemporary home<br />
and wanted a similar set up here, but<br />
couldn’t find the style we wanted,” he<br />
says. “We ended up building in Mt.<br />
Adams. We loved it there but once<br />
our oldest was ready for school, we<br />
wanted her to go to the same school I<br />
went to. Plus, we wanted our children<br />
to have plenty of space to run around<br />
and play.”<br />
So, a little over two years ago, they<br />
chose to build again.<br />
A logical launch point<br />
While often the initial contact in<br />
building a home of this scope might<br />
be the architect, this process actually<br />
began with a phone call to builder<br />
Andy Hueber. Andy’s father, builder<br />
John Hueber, and the homeowner’s<br />
father were long-time friends. “We<br />
knew the Huebers would be fantastic<br />
to work with,” the owner says.<br />
Andy and his brother Marc, joined<br />
their father’s business in 2002 and<br />
their team builds homes that run the<br />
gamut between traditional and contemporary.<br />
“One common misperception<br />
is that people perceive builders<br />
in a similar manner as they do<br />
actors,” Hueber says. “They typecast<br />
us as having a certain style,” But in<br />
reality, we read the blueprints and<br />
build the house our clients want.”<br />
To provide those blueprints, the<br />
couple asked Hueber to recommend<br />
an architect. Luke Field with Platte<br />
Architecture and Design made that<br />
1<br />

4<br />
short list. “We worked with Luke in<br />
the past and liked what he brought<br />
to the table,” says Hueber. “He was a<br />
really good fit for this project.”<br />
The couple met with the Platte<br />
team and said work they had done—<br />
residential and even some of their<br />
commercial projects—fit their style.<br />
After giving them a few ideas to get<br />
the ball rolling, the Platte team took<br />
it from there.<br />
The architect says the five-acre site<br />
inspired the placement of the home.<br />
“The owner chose a very nice lot.<br />
With its topography, it just seemed<br />
natural to orient the house so that it<br />
opened up to the valley on the south<br />
side."<br />
To design the home’s physical structure,<br />
the Platte architects used the 3D<br />
software SketchUp. “That allowed us<br />
to quickly iterate designs and visualize<br />
them to keep the surprise factor<br />
down,” Field says. The owners could<br />
see a virtual rendition of the home on<br />
a screen in the Platte office.<br />
“It’s amazing how close the renderings<br />
were to the actual outcome,” the<br />
owner says. ➻<br />

Bridging the gap<br />
The house was designed in a modified “V” shape, with<br />
the front door being at the point of the V and wings<br />
of the home running off to the left and right. The left<br />
wing houses the master suite on the first floor and his<br />
and her offices on the second. The second-floor children’s<br />
wing is reached via a bridge with a glass inset.<br />
Hueber says the initial plans allowed for glass railings<br />
for the bridge and that the idea for the glass floor came<br />
from the homeowners.<br />
“That bridge was my wife’s idea,” the owner says. “She<br />
wanted to spice things up a bit.” The original concept<br />
called for the bridge’s floor to be totally made of glass,<br />
but “it was a bit scary with the kids.”<br />
The team compromised with a glass panel inset that<br />
allows for a bit of adventure and a view of the great<br />
room below. “That glass is 1-1/2 inches thick, Hueber<br />
says. “It’s virtually bulletproof.”<br />
In between both wings is an open-concept, living,<br />
dining, kitchen area all with wide-open views of the surrounding<br />
landscape. There are plenty of floor-to-ceiling<br />
windows that afford a sweeping view of the valley and<br />
the woods beyond.<br />

More space for fun<br />
In addition to a dedicated toy room on the lower level<br />
and a second-floor media room, dubbed the “Netflix”<br />
room by the family, the kids and the dog have full run<br />
of the site, which happens to be surrounded by a greenbelt.<br />
But there are plenty of options regardless of age.<br />
One of the owner’s favorite spaces for relaxing is the<br />
expansive outdoor living area that is sheltered beneath<br />
a warm cedar ceiling. A series of electric radiant heaters<br />
installed flush in ceiling are controlled remotely<br />
through a Lutron app on their phones.<br />
“We can be out here in the dead of winter and it feels<br />
like we are watching TV inside,” the owner says.<br />
“As we were designing that space, I could see a lot of<br />
life happening out there,” Field says. In addition to that<br />
25 by 25-foot covered space there are multiple layers<br />
of outdoor gathering spots. “We wanted to create different<br />
zones that corresponded to different functions.”<br />
There’s a 40 by 18-foot open patio, a balcony off the<br />
homeowner’s office and a 35 by 25-foot pool deck.<br />
The heated pool is another family favorite that<br />
stretches its season of use from spring to fall. “We open<br />
it as early as possible and keep it open as late as possible,”<br />
the owner says. ➻<br />

is the adventurous path the children take to their<br />
bedrooms and play area. 3 Heaters installed flush<br />
in the ceiling don’t obstruct the view from the<br />
kitchen or covered patio.<br />

The view from beyond<br />
The view of the home from beyond<br />
the pool showcases cedar soffits that<br />
add layers of warmth to what might<br />
have otherwise been a rather stark<br />
stone and zinc exterior. “We looked<br />
at a variety of products for those<br />
soffits,” says Hueber. “We wanted<br />
something in natural earthy tones<br />
to create a visual balance. After the<br />
homeowner sent me a photo of a<br />
home she’d seen with a similar treatment,<br />
we chose to use a select grade<br />
cedar that has a smooth texture—<br />
without a lot of knots.”<br />
It’s this view of the home, from the<br />
top of the “V” so to speak, that is a<br />
particular favorite of the homeowner.<br />
Living proof<br />
Not too long ago, the builder needed<br />
to drop something off at this home<br />
and was greeted—very warmly and<br />
politely—at the front door by the<br />
homeowners’ young son. “It was<br />
great to see this sign of a life going<br />
on in a structure we helped create, he<br />
says. “That’s the most rewarding part<br />
of this process.” ➻<br />
A balcony off of the owner’s south-facing<br />
study provides the perfect vantage point<br />

Master Suite<br />
embraces the view<br />
PHOTOS BY MARSHALL EVAN<br />
Like many homeowners, a northwest <strong>Columbus</strong> couple let other projects bump their<br />
wish for an open, airy master suite way down to the bottom of their list. But 24 years<br />
after they purchased their home, and their three children were grown, they were finally<br />
ready to build the retreat of their dreams. ➻<br />
A swing for two is located on the softly lighted deck just outside the bedroom.<br />
housetrends magazine <strong>2021</strong> 53
1<br />
1 A wide doorway and an elevated toilet are just a few of the space’s universal design elements.<br />
To help realize their goal they called upon the talents of<br />
the remodeling and design team at The Cleary Company.<br />
“The homeowners were clear as to what they wanted,”<br />
says interior designer Laura Watson. “She wanted a bathtub—the<br />
original space did not have one, and he wanted<br />
a shower that was bright and open and almost felt like<br />
you were showering outdoors. Plus, the existing bath was<br />
extremely dark and dated. The windows were tiny.”<br />
When you step into their completely updated space it’s<br />
evident the years of planning paid off. A major goal of<br />
the renovation was to take advantage of the lush outdoor<br />
scenery of their property and introduce it into the room<br />
as a calm, inviting element. This is achieved with a small<br />
bump-out addition that allowed for a bit more space to<br />
maneuver. Floor-to-ceiling windows were added on the<br />
northern-facing wall in the bedroom and bath areas—<br />
even in the shower.<br />
A deep air jet tub allows for soaks in front of a picture<br />
window and an oversized shower has all the bells and<br />
whistles for lighting, music and temperature control. Its<br />
zero entry, along with wide doorways and a floating vanity,<br />
ensure the bathroom will be accessible as the couple<br />
ages in place.<br />
To allow for the enjoyment of the wide-open views<br />
with a feeling of privacy, The Cleary Company team<br />
erected a nine-foot high stucco wall around a 19 by 32-<br />
foot section of the yard and created an intimate courtyard.<br />
A deck built of Zuri, a low-maintenance composite<br />
material, works as a transition space between the bedroom<br />
and the courtyard. Two short steps lead the couple<br />
into their pea-gravel courtyard which is shaded by a large<br />
multi-stemmed maple tree.<br />
Strategically placed landscape lighting and assorted<br />
water features add the necessary sights and sounds to<br />
make this an inviting escape day or night.<br />
Showing her appreciation, the homeowner recently<br />
sent the contractor this note. “I love my bathroom! Best<br />
way ever to end a day in the tub watching the snowfall.<br />
So grateful!”<br />
Editor’s note: This project won a 2019 national Contractor<br />
of the Year (CotY) award from the National Association of<br />
the Remodeling Industry. (NARI).<br />

Within the recent exciting coverage<br />
of Perseverance’s landing on Mars,<br />
you may have seen the side story<br />
on NASA’s deputy project manager<br />
for the rover, Jennifer Trosper. Like<br />
many of us across the globe, Trosper<br />
has been working remotely since<br />
the early days of the pandemic. And<br />
again, like many of us, she is carving<br />
space out of her home to dedicate<br />
to her work. While her children were<br />
remote learning in other rooms and<br />
the occasional load of clothes ran<br />
through the rinse cycle or tumbled<br />
in the dryer, Trosper set up her base<br />
for mission control from a small desk<br />
inside her home’s laundry room.<br />
While our roles during this may not be quite as exciting<br />
as Trosper’s, our solutions for workspace can be<br />
just as creative. Those of us who are fortunate enough<br />
to have a study in our home, are dusting off the desk<br />
and shelving and bringing these areas up to date with<br />
technology. The rest of us are finding areas for quiet<br />
contemplation or chaotic Zoom calling, in guest rooms,<br />
dining rooms, unfinished basements, and more.<br />
Here are some home office ideas—ranging from<br />
modest to grand—that might offer you a tip or two on<br />
how to make your remote work more productive and<br />
enjoyable.<br />

Bath Remodel<br />
is worth the wait<br />
PHOTOS BY DANIELLE KRAVEC<br />
When a Dublin couple was finally ready to transfer their master bath into a contemporary<br />
spa-like space, they knew just where to go to get the process started. After undertaking<br />
five previous remodeling projects in a seven-year span, they wanted to continue their<br />
home renovation journey with the team that got them this far. Enter, or actually re-enter,<br />
the team at Dave Fox Design-Build Remodelers. ➻<br />
The floating vanity has drawers rather than cabinets to maximize storage space.
“These long-time clients had prioritized<br />
other projects throughout the<br />
rest of their home for years and were<br />
finally ready to invest in a modern<br />
oasis that was all their own,” says<br />
designer Michelle Mixter.<br />
When the design phase began, the<br />
words “modern” and “clean” were<br />
introduced often into the conversation.<br />
As to specifics, the couple wanted<br />
to maximize storage space, eliminate<br />
an unsafe, bulky tub deck, and<br />
install a generously-sized shower and<br />
tub to accommodate an especially tall<br />
homeowner.<br />
To give the couple room to maneuver,<br />
Mixter dedicated literally half of<br />
the room’s square footage to a wet<br />
room area. The original design had a<br />
lot of wasted space and featured an<br />
awkward shared shower and toilet<br />
room. Moving the shower into the<br />
main part of the bathroom gained<br />
enough space for a new linen closet.<br />
The tub was replaced with a custom<br />
74-inch bathtub and the shower<br />
space was designed without walls on<br />
two of its sides for plenty of elbow<br />
room.<br />
“The vanity wall was designed as a<br />
focal point,” Mixter says. “It needed<br />
to be dramatic to balance the oversized<br />
tub and shower area.”<br />

1 The matte tile flooring in the shower<br />
area was treated with a coating to make<br />
the surface especially slip resistant. 2 A<br />
custom tub was ordered to fit tight in the<br />
corner so that more space could be dedicated<br />
to the shower area.
The designer found a light fixture<br />
she and the homeowners liked, but<br />
as a single pendant, it didn’t have<br />
enough of a presence. Once she discovered<br />
that the pendants could be<br />
clustered, she placed them in groups<br />
of five and says “it made all of the difference<br />
in the world.”<br />
While the bulk of the space is covered<br />
in a large format porcelain tile,<br />
a glossy glass subway tile was chosen<br />
as a backdrop for the vanity to create<br />
contrast and drama. The backlighting<br />
of the mirror, the motion-activated<br />
toe kick lights, and those eye-catching<br />
light fixtures add layers of glow in<br />
this crisp, contemporary space.<br />
