boys’ bathroom: an ode to sports
January 23, 2012
Some of you might remember this note:
Well after the demo, construction, design, and installation of Joey’s bathroom he approves!
We had everything ripped out down to the studs. Some highlights of the room:
- We chose a deep blue for the walls
- We designed a mushroom colored double vanity so each boy has his own sink.
- In a bathroom for two boys a Cambria top seemed like a no-brainer! – we used Sussex.
- The custom window treatments allowed us to put in a shelf for their bobblehead collection.
- The boys’ parents and grandparents were very involved in sports back in their high school and college days, just like the boys are now, so we had newspaper clippings and pictures of framed in a collection of black and metallic frames to hang in the bathroom.
- The shower features tile EVERYWHERE for easy clean-ability.
a bathroom project in navy & grey
December 29, 2011
One of our latest projects involved a second floor bathroom that would be used by the family’s little boy as well as guests that were hanging out by the second floor family room fireplace or watching movies and playing games in the hang out area. We wanted the bathroom to keep in line with the rest of the home’s design, while still being a little masculine and something that would ‘grow up’ with the little boy and not be too childish right off the bat.
We settled on a color scheme of navy and grey and after finding classic grey subway tiles, a deep grey chair rail, and glossy navy accent tiles we were ready to roll! The floor is a mushroom colored 1″ x 1″ hex to warm up the space and we used a soft grey Benjamin Moore paint on the walls. We found a Brass Blue granite remnant that tied in perfectly with our colors. The lights add a classic modern feel to the space as well.
