Young House Love » Showhouse » It’s Bath Time

| By John Petersik | April 10, 2014 | 500 Comments

It’s Bath Time

Continuing our showhouse-heavy week of reveals, we’re bringing you a bunch of after photos from three more spaces – the main bedroom’s en-suite bathroom, its attached closet, and cool little atrium space. We showed you the main bedroom on Tuesday (along with the office and the butler’s pantry) so it only felt natural to continue our virtual tour where we left off.

SHMaster Chair Side

The attached bath and closet sit off a corner of the main bedroom and are separated by a space that we’ve been lovingly calling the “atrium” (it’s really more of a vestibule) which you can see above on the right side.

Here’s the floor plan for a clearer map of how that area is situated:

SHMBath Floor Plan Highighted

The atrium features a brass floor mirror donated by West Elm, a driftwood light from Shades of Light, and walls that are painted Stonington Gray by Benjamin Moore just like the bedroom. At one point we wanted to do a “living wall” back there with a bunch of built-in planter boxes filled with greenery, but due to the architecture of the roofline, we couldn’t put a skylight there. So because it felt unwise to cram a sunlight-less area with live plants, we scrapped the idea. It’s still a nice spot between the bathroom and the closet for a floor length mirror, and the driftwood light is one of our favorites in the house.

SHAtrium

When  you turn to your right, through the double doors you’ll see the space that we most want to pick up, stuff in a suitcase, and put in our own house.

SHMBath Main

It felt fitting to aim for that spa-like effect in such an airy space (the house’s floor plan meant we knew that this room would be spacious with a big window over the tub). So pretty early on we decided we wanted a light color scheme with a wash of color on the back wall of the shower. We actually considered a more intense cobalt blue tile at one point, but it was out of stock. We love the calming aqua glass tile that we ended up with, (it’s the 3 x 12″ New Haven tile from The Tile Shop) so it was just one of those “happy accidents” throughout the room’s evolution.

SHMBath Shower Straight

The sides of the shower are basic 3 x 6″ white subway tiles, also donated by The Tile Shop, which we picked because  they were the same height as the bolder back-wall tiles (so the rows would line up), as well as feeling nice and simple – to keep the attention on that green glass tile. It’s considered a double shower since it has Baliza showerheads on both side walls, which were donated by Brizo. At the suggestion of our local Ferguson rep, whom we worked through to select plumbing fixtures, we included a handshower on one side (we learned that new builds frequently include them, just to give people options like spraying off their feet or a pet).

SHMBath Showerhead Detail

The floor tile in the shower pan is the Tile Shop’s Evanston series in Frost Snow, which featured some small aqua glass accents between the marble squares which help tie the big accent wall together with the marble floor (that’s 12 x 24″ Tempesta Neve marble) throughout the rest of the room. You can check out a detailed photo of our tile pics (and more clearly see those little green glass squares in the floor) here. We also really like how the tile installer wrapped the white subway around the shower threshold.

SMBath Shower Pan

I’ll be honest that as the glass tile was being installed I was certain we had made a big mistake (three different tile choices for the shower walls and floor felt like they didn’t really “mesh” yet) but as soon as it was all grouted with the same white grout throughout, it tied everything together. And now it’s my favorite thing.

SHMBath Blue Tile

But let’s step out of the shower for a second and talk about the vanities (you don’t get to say that everyday), which came from the same local cabinet company (Affinity) that did the kitchen. They’re also painted in their stock gray color, which we’ve discovered is close to Benjamin Moore’s Timberwolf Gray. The walls are Moonshine.

SHMBath Vanity WC Shower

The driftwood mirrors and Soho sconces were donated by Shades of Light, the faucet is Brizo Baliza just like the shower fixtures, and the subtly green-veined counters are Lady Onyx which were purchased through a local company called Eternal Stoneworks.

SMBath Mirrow With WC

The onyx counters have a hint of the same seaglass color that’s in the shower tile, so we thought they’d be a nice counterpart to the more traditional marble on the floor. The little woven baskets are from HomeGoods.

SMBath Counter Detail

We added a little more interest to the vanities by selecting mirrors with a soft patina effect that we placed behind the x-frame doors (similar to the clear glass ones that we chose for the kitchen). We also went with arched trim along the base of each vanity to give the built-in cabinet a bit more of a furniture feel (you can see that better two shots up). The giant bathmats are from Target.

SHMBath X Base Detail

And now, let’s get weird for a second. I have to take a moment to talk about this toilet. I’ve never given toilets much thought, but when our builder urged us to pick something more stylish than a basic model we both fell in love with this one (the Tresham, donated by Kohler). And now I have this crazy case of toilet envy. So I guess that’s a thing. The little vases on the top are from World Market and the framed seafan art is from HomeGoods.

SMBath Toilet

Speaking of envy, Sherry (in all her pregnant glory) has had a few moments of longing in front of this tub. Ever since one of our book tour hotels had a big soaker tub, she has been jonesing for one. It’s the York from Victoria + Albert, and the cool thing is that lots of people paint the outside an accent color. We considered it, but decided that we wanted to leave the shower as the main accent in the room – but we thought we’d toss that tip out because it could be a fun idea for your space.

SMBath Tub Straight

The stool and basket are both from HomeGoods, and the floor mount tub filler is the Trinsic, donated by Delta. You can see that we also had the carpenter add some beadboard wainscoting around the tub area as an accent, and to provide some extra protection from splashing, bubbles, and whatever else your particular tub fantasy entails. Mine includes nachos. Just sayin’.

SMBath Tub Angle

This is the view looking back on the room from the shower. Yes, I was literally in the shower when I snapped this. And yes, I did consider taking it for a test drive.

SMBath Both Vanities

The mirrors were actually an 11th hour decision (as in, we were hanging them a few days ago) because the original chrome-y mirrors that we picked were blending too much with the other gleaming/polished items in the room and felt a little too invisible. So we decided that we needed something with more contrast and texture, and it hit us that rough driftwood frames would be an awesome reference to our lighting choice in the nearby atrium.

SMBath Half Mirror

As soon as we hung the new mirrors we got more excited than we should have. Maybe we were just delusional at that point, but they’re one of our favorite last minute changes.

SMBath Lindsay Art

The main light fixture in here is the Clear Glass Chandelier from Shades of Light. It doesn’t pop in pictures very much, but in person it’s pretty amazing. So much so that we bought another one for the living room, but had them wire it in a gold finish to tie into some other fixtures down there.

SHMBath Light Detail

The en-suite bedroom closet is equally envy-inducing in size and sports two sections (which make it convenient for a couple) thanks to a little partition in the middle to carve out two sides. We can’t claim much credit for how this turned out, since we mostly just nodded along as the builder and his carpenter told us their plans, but we’re happy to show off their handiwork and our meager styling of it (closets typically get a few outfits, bags, and shoes for these shows, so you get the idea but don’t have to see them stuffed with an entire wardrobe).

SHCloset Main

As we mentioned yesterday, we did hang a trio of our new doorknob hooks (two large ones and one small one) to create a little display space on the partition that separates the two sides of the closet. That flat wall was originally going to have a full length mirror on it, but it started to feel excessive after putting the floor mirror in the atrium – especially because we added a table-height mirror in that vanity area right behind it.

SHCloset Doorknob Hooks

Speaking of that little vanity space, the stool is from Target, the green lacquered box is from HomeGoods, and the gold bowl with the plant in it is from World Market. The bags and clothes are mostly ours, along with some thrift store items and few scarves from Target.

SHCloset Makeup Station

The vanity sits in the back half of the closet, which in addition to bars and cubbies, also sports this wall of angled shelves for shoes. I tell ya, Carpenter John (yes, yet another John who worked on this project) knows whats up.

SHClost Shoes

The front side is mostly bars and shelves, as you can see in this shot of that area…

SHCloset Mens Side

…but it does feature a built-in tie rack and a couple of shoe shelves. We bought some thrift store ties to fill it, only to get them into better lighting in this closet to discover they were all stained. Luckily some other folks working on the house had some (cleaner) spares to loan us, and my dad donated a few to the cause as well.

SHCloset Ties

So now you’ve officially seen all of the main bedroom area of the house, bathroom and closet included. There’s still lots more house to show – and we’re madly trying to photograph it all before the baby comes (along with recording a video tour) but since we’ve probably overloaded you enough with photos for the week, we’re going to spend Friday at our house in a final-hour attempt to paint the office (ceiling and walls). So we won’t be posting tomorrow, but we’ll hopefully be back on Monday with a freshly painted office, which means we’ll finally be able to clear more chaos off of other surfaces – like the kitchen & dining room tables – before this baby arrives.

    The last-minute mirror change up in the bathrooms… I think they made the entire room! Really great choice, YHL! Those and the tile on the shower… dreamy :) The whole bathroom ties together so well when you take a minute to really look at all of the detailing. You’ve done a beautiful job.

    Agreeing with all the rest here: thank you for all your hard work, and hoping you’re taking a moment or twelve to be kind to yourselves. Lots of dark chocolate and bourbon (well, not for Sherry. Yet.).

    LOVE the closet. Hello dreamy.

    Functional questions now!

    I see outlets for one vanity.. Are there outlets at both the bathroom vanities as well as the closet vanity so someone could use a hair dryer or straightener in the closet too?

    Also, I didn’t see any towel rings or hooks near the shower. Are there any?

    Reply
    • Avatar for YoungHouseLoveYoungHouseLove says

      April 10, 2014 at 10:29 am

      Yup, both bathroom vanities have outlets, but the make-up desk in the closet doesn’t have one (the builder could pop one in there if someone requested it since the attic is right above it). There are towel hooks on the back of the bathroom doors, but we have extra ones that were donated sitting under the sink that the future buyers can hang closer to the shower if they’d like. We wanted to let them choose if they wanted them there or liked the open look without them.

      Update: Just realized I forgot about the towel bar to the right of the tub. You can see part of it in this shot, as well as in the reflection of the mirror in this picture.

      The bench holds stuff too, along with that niche (I’d be tempted to add a drum stool too if I needed more surface area). The Tile Shop also sells pretty marble or glass ledges that I’m sure the builder would be happy to add if the buyer so desires them :)

    I’m loving everything in this house so far! The mirror switch in the bathroom was a great idea.

    One suggestion: The closet still seems too sparse. I think some storage boxes or pretty shoe/hat boxes on the upper shelves would help. And maybe a few more clothing/shoe items here and there.

    Looking great guys!

      Oh yeah it’s really empty in all of the closets throughout the show (usually a few hangers with clothes and shoes are that go into them since people get the idea). The lady who runs the show supposedly has ten million clothes and shoes though, so I keep winking at her and joking that she could store some of her extra stuff in here if she’d like!

    Gosh, four different tiles in one bathroom? Kind of a sensory overload. Additionally, the clear glass doors on the shower will be constantly filled with water spots unless they’re polished daily. The mirrored doors on the vanity, the twig mirrors, and the clear glass light fixture are nothing but dust and steam catchers. This room contains a lot of the trendy finishes that are currently popular, but maintaining a clean, spot free room is impossible in the long term. The closet is nice, but I would have made the shoe shelves out of some type of polished plastic because the white painted surfaces are going to get filthy from the bottom of the shoes.

      A daily squeegee will keep the doors relatively spot-free. They will probably need an occasional polishing with one part vinegar, one part water, but a squeegee is a pretty quick and efficient way to deal with the water on a daily basis. My glass shower doors are probably much smaller, but I would guess it still wouldn’t take that long. My parents have a similar sized shower (no glass) and have a very large squeegee they use to clean off all the tile. They spend very little time cleaning grout!

    When I saw the bathroom I was like, umm… there’s only one sink? What were they thinking?! So relieved when I saw the second vanity! Ha. And that closet… I would be in heaven if I could even fill that! :)

    Wow, this is the sweetest bathroom I’ve ever seen–and I was just on our area’s “Parade of Homes” tour a couple weeks ago, so I saw some real gems. This one takes the cake. That wall of tile and those mirrors had me at hello. I love the mirrors so much, I don’t even care that they may be a tad harder-than-your-average-mirror to dust! :) I’m not one to linger in the bathroom but if I had this space, I would set up camp for sure!
    Seriously, you guys did an amazing job on this house!
    Out of curiosity, are you guys going to do a cost rundown/estimate at all on what was spent on major things and what the house may be listed for? It would be interesting to compare with houses similar around the country.

      That would be really interesting! The house price is in the 600s (it keeps evolving based on nearby showhouse prices and appraisals). As for room by room breakdowns, all of the donations mixed with builder discounts (he doesn’t pay retail since he uses the same vendors for dozens of houses a year, etc) make it hard to pin down the “real” cost of things like this, but someone else asked me to roughly estimate how much this room would cost without anything being donated and here’s that guess.

    When you mentioned that some of the clothes/bags in the master closet are your own, it got me thinking about a problem that I have (unfortunately) seen before. My company hosts a big exhibit every year in a large showroom, and we have it all styled and propped – and believe it or not, people always walk off with the props! I’m not sure if this has ever been the case at Homearama, and I hate to even mention it, so hopefully you have no trouble!

    Oh wow, this bathroom is literally bigger than the room in my apartment we use as a living/dining/my parents bedroom.

    It looks awesome :)

    Holy cow – I could die a happy girl in the bathroom…or that closet. Sigh :) The shoe area of the closet reminds me of the scene in the first Sex in the City movie, when Carrie turns on the light in that drool-worthy closet that Mr Big has built for her.

    What an amazing/crazy experience – and oh yeah, I keep forgetting about THE BABY!! gaah!

    I know you said you added the mirrors to the vanities, but I was wondering if that was an option from the manufacturer or if you DIYed it. If you did it yourself, can you direct to the tutorial you used? Everything looks beautiful; job well done!

      We added those through the cabinetry folks, so we just selected finishes (the paint finish, the curved bottom, the patina mirrors and x-details) and they assembled and installed them.

    I was getting so excited looking at the bathroom pictures when I started wishing I could see the house in person… Then I realized that I get to, I purchased tickets weeks ago. It think it is so fun that you guys did a project that some of us lucky people actually get to visit and enjoy instead of just seeing the pictures on the blog.

    Hey, just so you know, the term atrium is actually a light and/or air filled vertical element. the space you’re calling an “atrium” should be called a vestibule or an antechamber… just needed to get architecturally-correct on you!! :) Overall, looking beautiful!

    One of the containers on the sink kind of looked like it was full of pickles. I’m sure that it’s not — that it just photographed that way, and it’s really full of something normal like sponges or something. But I smiled imagining pickles. No explanation. Everything else completely normal. Just a bowl full of pickles on the bathroom sink. And you’re like, “What? Doesn’t everyone have one of those?”

    The bathroom looks awesome, the shower is killer! What’s with the unimaginative lights next to the driftwood mirrors though? Not my favorite.
    However, nachos in the soaker tub!? My life has a new purpose!

      Haha, bathtub nachos need to be a thing. As for the sconces, I think for some things we wanted to go classic/understated so other accents could be the star (like the wall of glass tile, the green veined marble tops, the x-shaped vanity bases, etc), so we opted to go basic with them.

    Out of curiosity, how come you chose to lean the mirror in the atrium instead of hanging it on the wall?

      I think we liked it feeling casual (we have a leaning mirror in our own bedroom) but there’s hanging hardware on the back, so if someone wanted to hang it they could definitely do that!

    The materials are beautiful! I love that gorgeous tub! I am curious about two things: 1. Lighting above the vanities–do you have any can lights above them to add more lighting to an area where people usually get ready? 2. Why did you use the beige shades for the sconces? I love the fixture, but it seems like a white shade would complement the space whereas this color looks like a mismatch in the sea of beautiful grays, greens, and whites.

      April 10, 2014 at 11:18 am

      There aren’t extra can lights in the ceiling other than one in the shower, but the room has 11 light bulbs total (there are two sconces on either side of each vanity, for a total of four, along with the center fixture which has three bulbs, the shower can, and a light fixture in the powder room with three bulbs) so the space has a lot of light. Those were just the stock shades that came with the sconces, but there are tones of that creamy/tan color in the floor, the woven baskets, the driftwood, etc – so in person they don’t really bother us. We can always get white shades if the buyer would prefer those though!

    Wow. It huge. It’s beautiful, too. I think my favorite part is the soaker tub, although from a practical standpoint I should be coveting the shower. =)

    Question about the driftwood mirrors: are they sealed at all? I’m wondering about steam and moisture with unfinished wood. Granted, that’s a big bathroom so perhaps the increased space means it’s not as much of an issue? I’ve been thinking about hanging a found-wood frame in my bathroom and don’t want to seal it, but also don’t want it to warp.

    Ok, off topic but I wanted to share a craft project with Sherri that might be good fun for Clara as Easter (and new baby) approaches: Easter scribble tees. I spent a Saturday afternoon doing a handful of these with my four-year-old and it kept her quite happy. I’m guessing the technique (super easy) would work on a baby onesie as well…. http://kaesey.wordpress.com/2014/04/07/tutorial-easter-scribble-tees/

    I’m probably the 5 millionth person to suggest this, but I think that driftwood light fixture would look fantastic in the barnacle’s nursery! The wood tones would match so well with the bike print frames and the other wood elements in there.

    And the showhouse looks INCREDIBLE! And I want to also send all my best wishes for a safe delivery soon! :)
