![]() After spending a few months scheming and planning this master bathroom, I am so happy with how it all turned out. We are thrilled with the outcome and can’t wait to show it off. It felt like it was taking forever, but really in the scheme of home improvement projects, that isn’t such a long time. This New Traditional master bathroom went from plain and boring to beautiful in the span of 8 long weeks. The master bathroom is finally finished and ready to show off. This post is sponsored by Walker Zanger tile. Light bright and airy makes this master bath a standout renovation. You can watch the sun set from the all-glass shower enclosure.A 2005 master bathroom renovation transforms from builder’s beige to completely updated New Traditional yet modern look for 2020 in marble look porcelain and use of color in marble and accent tiles of soft blues and gray greens. Framed mirrors hung in front of windows over each of the sinks allow a peek at the outdoors, as do sliding French doors to a deck outside, and twin skylights. A full height mirror slides open to reveal a dressing closet. Laura Goldstein, Executive EditorI really like this bath for its handsome mix of natural materials-multicolored slate tile on the floor, limestone wainscoting on the walls, mahogany trim and maple cabinets-but also for the fact it has some memorable design features. No fuzzy bath mats here: Even the wood step-out stays true to the room’s richly austere spirit. But it’s the little details you can’t help admiring-like the mirror suspended in the window well over the sink, teasing with a sliver of view, and the mirrored pocket door that extends the space forever. The multicolored slate floor ties together the light and dark wood tones, gray countertop, and pale green walls. The owners of this space (carved from a roof deck over the garage) made the most of the long, narrow room, with double sinks in a 10-foot maple vanity along one wall and a glass-enclosed limestone shower stall on the other. Soothing colors, natural materials, abundant light, and thoughtful details-what more could you want in a bath? If you ask me, not much. Jason Carpenter, Projects Editor Soothing Shadeįrom It’s a Natural, This Old House magazine, December 2005 I just felt like the only thing that was missing from that picture was me sitting in the tub, staring at the water and deciding what kind of bait I was going to use on my next fishing trip. The view of the water reminded me of home, growing up near the beach. ![]() And the room is just flooded with light that bounces off the polished floor, pale yellow walls and eggshell colored wainscoting. ![]() Susan Ryan, Copy EditorI wanted to jump in that bathtub. The windows give it a light, airy feel and its size makes you want to live there. Leslie Monthan, Copy ChiefA tub in a mosaic-tiled bathroom beside a large window overlooking a body of water? A Pisces dream. (Can you tell I’m a Pisces?) This room is actually quite simple, with just enough rich detail, like the mosaic and the stone tile, to feel luxurious. My fantasy bathroom would have a good old-fashioned tub like this, with a view through a picture window onto a large body of water. Amy Rosenfeld, Design Director Pretty in Whiteįrom Second-Story Job, This Old House magazine, July/August 2006 Real artists, not machines, made those tiles and it shows. I would love to be in that big soaking tub surrounded by those beautiful handmade tiles that look so great together, and also have such interesting variation of color within each individual piece. Alexandra Bandon, Senior EditorI love the clean, modern fixtures and layout of this bathroom, combined with the warmth of the natural limestone and wood. I’m a recent convert to Modern architecture and design, and the features in this bathroom (and the whole house-last year’s TV show project in Cambridge) are largely responsible. The lighting is perfect, the wall that doesn’t quite reach the ceiling is ingenious, the feeling of the space is transcendent. And the Jura green limestone counter is so lovely over the floating vanity, with its serene dark wood and hefty square pulls. I’m not even sure a photograph can do justice to the beauty of the iridescent tiles around the tub in this bathroom (or in the shower in the back right corner, which isn’t visible here).
