barkerdesignThe Vintage Vanity unit was adapted to create something quote unique. The pop of electric blue in the Thomas Crapper basin makes the whole room sing with colour. Detail tiled splash back keeps it fun & individual.
Durham Designs & Consulting, LLCThe design of the cabin began with the client’s discovery of an old mirror which had once been part of a hall tree. Painted In a rustic white finish, the orange pine walls of the cabin were painted by the homeowners on hand using a sock and rubbing paint with a light hand so that the knots would show clearly and you would achieve the look of a lime-washed wall. A custom vanity was fashioned to match the details on the antique mirror and a textured iron vessel sink sits atop. Polished nickel faucets, cast iron tub, and old fashioned toilet are from Herbeau. The antique French Iron bed was located on line and brought in from California. The peeling paint shows the layers of age with French blue, white and rust tones peeking through. An iron chandelier adorned with Strauss crystal and created by Schonbek hangs from the ceiling and matching sconces are fastened into the mirror.

Vanity by DesignSpecific to this photo: A view of our vanity with their choice in an open shower. Our vanity is 60-inches and made with solid timber paired with naturally sourced Carrara marble from Italy. The homeowner chose silver hardware throughout their bathroom, which is featured in the faucets along with their shower hardware. The shower has an open door, and features glass paneling, chevron black accent ceramic tiling, multiple shower heads, and an in-wall shelf.
This bathroom was a collaborative project in which we worked with the architect in a home located on Mervin Street in Bentleigh East in Australia.
This master bathroom features our Davenport 60-inch bathroom vanity with double basin sinks in the Hampton Gray coloring. The Davenport model comes with a natural white Carrara marble top sourced from Italy.
This master bathroom features an open shower with multiple streams, chevron tiling, and modern details in the hardware. This master bathroom also has a freestanding curved bath tub from our brand, exclusive to Australia at this time. This bathroom also features a one-piece toilet from our brand, exclusive to Australia. Our architect focused on black and silver accents to pair with the white and grey coloring from the main furniture pieces.

Courtney Thomas DesignWe planned a thoughtful redesign of this beautiful home while retaining many of the existing features. We wanted this house to feel the immediacy of its environment. So we carried the exterior front entry style into the interiors, too, as a way to bring the beautiful outdoors in. In addition, we added patios to all the bedrooms to make them feel much bigger. Luckily for us, our temperate California climate makes it possible for the patios to be used consistently throughout the year.
The original kitchen design did not have exposed beams, but we decided to replicate the motif of the 30" living room beams in the kitchen as well, making it one of our favorite details of the house. To make the kitchen more functional, we added a second island allowing us to separate kitchen tasks. The sink island works as a food prep area, and the bar island is for mail, crafts, and quick snacks.
We designed the primary bedroom as a relaxation sanctuary – something we highly recommend to all parents. It features some of our favorite things: a cognac leather reading chair next to a fireplace, Scottish plaid fabrics, a vegetable dye rug, art from our favorite cities, and goofy portraits of the kids.

Kathleen JennisonAn Arts & Crafts Bungalow is one of my favorite styles of homes. We have quite a few of them in our Stockton Mid-Town area. And when C&L called us to help them remodel their 1923 American Bungalow, I was beyond thrilled.
As per usual, when we get a new inquiry, we quickly Google the project location while we are talking to you on the phone. My excitement escalated when I saw the Google Earth Image of the sweet Sage Green bungalow in Mid-Town Stockton. "Yes, we would be interested in working with you," I said trying to keep my cool.
But what made it even better was meeting C&L and touring their home, because they are the nicest young couple, eager to make their home period perfect. Unfortunately, it had been slightly molested by some bad house-flippers, and we needed to bring the bathroom back to it "roots."
We knew we had to banish the hideous brown tile and cheap vanity quickly. But C&L complained about the condensation problems and the constant fight with mold. This immediately told me that improper remodeling had occurred and we needed to remedy that right away.
The Before: Frustrations with a Botched Remodel
The bathroom needed to be brought back to period appropriate design with all the functionality of a modern bathroom. We thought of things like marble countertop, white mosaic floor tiles, white subway tile, board and batten molding, and of course a fabulous wallpaper.
This small (and only) bathroom on a tight budget required a little bit of design sleuthing to figure out how we could get the proper look and feel. Our goal was to determine where to splurge and where to economize and how to complete the remodel as quickly as possible because C&L would have to move out while construction was going on.
The Process: Hard Work to Remedy Design and Function
During our initial design study, (which included 2 hours in the owners’ home), we noticed framed images of William Morris Arts and Crafts textile patterns and knew this would be our design inspiration. We presented C&L with three options and they quickly selected the Pimpernel Design Concept.
We had originally selected the Black and Olive colors with a black vanity, mirror, and black and white floor tile. C&L liked it but weren’t quite sure about the black, We went back to the drawing board and decided the William & Co Pimpernel Wallpaper in Bayleaf and Manilla color with a softer gray painted vanity and mirror and white floor tile was more to their liking.
After the Design Concept was approved, we went to work securing the building permit, procuring all the elements, and scheduling our trusted tradesmen to perform the work.
We did uncover some shoddy work by the flippers such as live electrical wires hidden behind the wall, plumbing venting cut-off and buried in the walls (hence the constant dampness), the tub barely balancing on two fence boards across the floor joist, and no insulation on the exterior wall.
All of the previous blunders were fixed and the bathroom put back to its previous glory. We could feel the house thanking us for making it pretty again.
The After Reveal: Cohesive Design Decisions
We selected a simple white subway tile for the tub/shower. This is always classic and in keeping with the style of the house.
We selected a pre-fab vanity and mirror, but they look rich with the quartz countertop. There is much more storage in this small vanity than you would think.
The Transformation: A Period Perfect Refresh
We began the remodel just as the pandemic reared and stay-in-place orders went into effect. As C&L were already moved out and living with relatives, we got the go-ahead from city officials to get the work done (after all, how can you shelter in place without a bathroom?).
All our tradesmen were scheduled to work so that only one crew was on the job site at a time. We stayed on the original schedule with only a one week delay.
The end result is the sweetest little bathroom I've ever seen (and I can't wait to start work on C&L's kitchen next).
Thank you for joining me in this project transformation. I hope this inspired you to think about being creative with your design projects, determining what works best in keeping with the architecture of your space, and carefully assessing how you can have the best life in your home.

Отправной точкой в идейном и стилистическом направлении послужила давняя мечта заказчиков жить не просто в новом доме, а создать дом с историей. Интересно, что еще задолго до строительства заказчица получила в подарок прелестные вазоны 18 века, можно сказать с них все и началось. Вместе с заказчиком мы объехали несколько стран в поиске нужных предметов, что-то привезли сами из поездок. Работали с антикваром в Париже. Нами было подобрано искусство близкое по духу.
Владельцы дома - Успешные предприниматели и энергичные люди средних лет, живущие вдвоем, но часто принимающие в гостях своих детей, внуков, родственников и друзей. Предпочитают слушать хорошую музыку на виниле, собираться шумной компанией в кабинете главы семейства, хозяйка дома играет на барабанах, при чем их группа даже сделала камерный концерт «для своих» прямо в гостиной после сдачи объекта. Главное пожелание было создать интерьер с ощущением, что в этом доме прожило уже несколько поколений семейства, создать дом с историей семьи и ее духом.
Основной функциональной задачей было создать закрытую террасу-оранжерею, в которой можно было бы отдохнуть от городской суеты, трансформирующуюся в открытую веранду в теплое время года, спроектировать изразцовую печь, для приготовления блюд и создания особой атмосферы с помощью открытого огня.
Спроектировать кухню, объединённую с гостиной, таким образом, чтобы выделить немалое пространство для отдыха и релаксации у камина, без вмешательства в пространство приготовления блюд.
Так же необходимо было проанализировать оптимальныt маршруты передвижения владельцев по дому, учесть все требования к приватным зонам и спроектировать их максимально комфортно и с учетом ритма жизни хозяев. Исходя из этого родилось планировочное решение, отвечающее требованиям всего семейства.
Планировка создавалась нами с нуля, так как мы вели проектирование с самого начала, еще до возведения конструкций. Поэтому все что было необходимо учесть мы учли на начальных этапах и необходимости в переносе стен и других конструкций не возникло.
Что касается систем хранения. К этому вопросу хозяева дома относятся очень щепетильно и взвешено. Поэтому мы организовали целое помещение площадью 30 м2 в подвальном этаже здания, для хранение сезонных вещей и постирочной, где располагаются как системы хранения, так и техника по уходу за одеждой.
В приватной зоне хозяев на первом этаже мы расположили гардеробную комнату, для хранения вещей владельцев дома.
При входе расположен большой шкаф, для верхней одежды, обуви и других предметов.
Под лестницей мы так же заложили большое пространство для хранения инвентаря для уборки.
Помимо этого, каждая жилая комната имеет внушительный платяной шкаф и другие системы хранения.
Отдельное место в проектировании занимает раздел освещения. Разработаны разные сценарии, как повседневный для уютных посиделок в семейном кругу, так и парадный вариант для встречи гостей. Так например в кухне-гостиной мы разместили две люстры с плафонами в несколько ярусов, т.к высота потолка восемь метров и добавили технический рассеянный свет. В зоне камина расположили две напольные лампы для придания уюта. В зоне кухни продумана подсветка рабочей поверхности. В приватных зонах дома так же использовался технический свет, люстры больше выполняют декоративную функцию, прикроватные лампы для чтения. В зоне террасы располагается верхний свет, люстра над столом, бра и настольные лампы в мягкой зоне.
Цветовая палитра дома выполнена преимущественно в светлых оттенках с добавлением акцентов. В главной парадной части дома палитра возникла из маленького образца ткани для портьер. В других помещениях отправными точками стали винтажные предметы мебели, ковры купленные на антикварных рынках. Стены мы оставили нейтральными чтобы со временем можно было менять настроение с помощью замены текстиля и оббивки мебели. Но одно помещение все же получилось отличным от остальных- это винотека. Там мы создали атмосферу камерную в достаточно насыщенных древесных оттенках, природных зеленых, терракотовых. Терраса получилась садом, и сама продиктовала спокойную серо-древесную гамму.
Предметы мебели тщательно подбирались на протяжении нескольких месяцев поиска. Заказчики очень любят предметы с историей, большинство винтажных привезли из Франции. Хотелось создать смесь Европы и Азии, мы побывали в Китае и привезли несколько аутентичных вещей. Многие вещи коллекционировались годами и были перевезены из прежнего дома. Столярные изделия выполнялись под заказ по нашим эскизам. Кухню заказывали у фабрики Scavollini. Два спальных гарнитура Francesco Pasi в спальне хозяев и гостевой спальне.
К выбору декора мы отнеслись с неменьшим энтузиазмом, получилось целое приключение, в котором участвовали мы и заказчики. Поиски были по разным странам, что-то куплено у нас. Сказать можно одно, что каждую вещь, что вы видите на снимках не была привезена на объект для красоты кадра, а это именно те предметы, которые живут в доме. Например, у заказчицы огромная коллекция фарфора.
Текстиль во многом предопределил интерьер в доме, его мы выбрали практически первым с чего и завязалась цветовая гамма. Ткани преимущественно использовались английские и французские.
Стиль интерьера предопределила архитектура дома, а прежде всего посыл заказчика.
Работали мы в команде с архитектором, т.к считаем важным создавать цельные, гармоничные проекты, где все слажено и дополняет друг друга. Определить стилевое направление достаточно сложно, мы создавали портрет обитателей этого дома с их характером, дом получился очень персонализированным. Но есть одна примечательная черта, в новый дом мы внесли оттенки старины, будто дом живет уже не одно десятилетие.
Как же без сложностей! Кто вам скажет, что можно построить дом мечты легко, слукавит! В процессе стройки возникает множество вопросов, которые требуют четкости, слаженной работы команды, компетентных подрядчиков. В этом проекте сложным узлом было проектирование лестницы и финишных покрытий. Мы перебрали не один вариант и никак не могли найти нужное решение. Но упорство и картинка в голове сделали свое дело, решение было найдено и воплощено в жизнь.
Сроки вместе с проектированием, стройкой дома и отделкой заняли 2,5 года.

Bathroom with Ceramic Flooring and Marble Worktops Ideas and Designs
Whether you’re doing a bathroom renovation or just a refresh; making your bathroom design brighter, cleaner and more attractive will make you feel happier to use it every day. If your bathroom is a small space in your home where you don’t spend much time, it’s time to think about alternatives. Browse the pictures to find inspiring bathroom ideas on Houzz, including stylish vanities, fancy toilets, taps, shower tiling, as well as storage ideas for small bathrooms. 
Shelves and shelving units, like ladder shelves, will give you extra space without taking up too much floor space. Also look for wire, wicker or fabric baskets, large and small, to store items under or next to the sink, or even on the wall. 
The sink, the mirror, shower and/or bath are the places where you might want the clearest and strongest light. You can use these if you want it to be bright and clear. Otherwise, you might want to look at some soft, ambient lighting in the form of chandeliers, short pendants or wall lamps. You could use accent lighting around your bath in the form to create a tranquil, spa feel, as well. 
How do I find bathroom ideas for my renovation?
If you’re starting your bathroom renovation from scratch, or ripping out and starting again, then once you’ve sorted the plan and the plumbing you’ll need to think about what kind of ideas you’d like. The easiest option is to get inspiration from bathroom professionals. However, if you’ve dreamt of a roll-top bath or a walk-in shower with heating at, then you might want to take longer looking for each item individually. Choosing all white elements will obviously tie everything together, but also think about the style you’re going for – ultra modern taps will clash with traditional Victorian-style wash basins. And it’s probably good to consider your flooring or surfaces, and walls to make sure everything will complement. Take a look through the different styles of bathroom designs on Houzz to get some inspiration. How do I select the right bathroom decor & furniture?
Selecting bathroom decor such as cabinets, mirrors, shelves or other furniture for bathrooms can be tricky. You want to consider the storage they offer while also making sure they make an attractive feature as you enter your bathroom. Don’t forget you need them to be durable and withstand the damp conditions, e.g. if you’re going for a painted cabinet make sure the paint is suitable for baths. For medicine cabinets you will find most have mirrored fronts, but you can find extra features such as clocks and shaving sockets built-in.What bathroom storage ideas should I look at?
While bathroom storage ideas is not the first thing you think of when it comes to bathrooms, you’ll be surprised at how much difference it makes when your bathroom is organised – specially if you’re dealing with a small bathroom, this is essential. We all know how accessories like bottles, toiletries, lotions and potions can pile up next to the bath. And where to put the cotton buds, painkillers, plasters, other medicine, creams and sanitary products? That’s not even considering using your bathroom as a place to store your towels and bathrobes. The first thing to consider when reviewing bathroom ideas is if you can invest in built-in bathroom storage. Large vanity units will have drawers and compartments to store a great number of toiletries and bathroom necessities, and if your bathroom or cloakroom has room for a built-in cupboard you can start storing small accessories and larger items there. If you can’t do anything on this scale, you could investigate built-in storage around the bath or look at less permanent options. Shelves and shelving units, like ladder shelves, will give you extra space without taking up too much floor space. Also look for wire, wicker or fabric baskets, large and small, to store items under or next to the sink, or even on the wall. What's the best ideas for lighting?
Water and electricity don’t mix, so make sure your bathroom lights are safe, first and foremost. There are actually regulations around what type of light fittings you can use and where – IP67 rating lights for submerged areas e.g. inside baths and sinks (Zone 0); IP65 for any area above a shower or bath (Zone 1); and IP44 rating for anything 0.6m from a bath or basin (Zone 2). After you’ve made sure your light fittings are safe and to-code, you can consider the type and style you’d like as your working through your bathroom ideas. The sink, the mirror, shower and/or bath are the places where you might want the clearest and strongest light. You can use these if you want it to be bright and clear. Otherwise, you might want to look at some soft, ambient lighting in the form of chandeliers, short pendants or wall lamps. You could use accent lighting around your bath in the form to create a tranquil, spa feel, as well. Bathroom tiles – what should I go for?
It’s rare to find bathrooms without tiles. Although it can be done with panelling, materials like tadelakt, waterproof paint, wallpaper or well-treated wood; bathroom tiles are so copious and easy to apply that it’s hard to avoid going with tiles in the bathroom. The great thing is that both floor tiles and wall tiles come in a huge variety of sizes, styles, colours and patterns, so you can remodel your room completely with whatever tile choices fit with your bathroom ideas. When it comes to flooring, tiles will be durable, easy to clean and deal well with water, but if you want something different you could go with modern concrete, traditional or country-style treated wooden floorboards, or a bit more quirky bamboo, cork or vinyl. What to do with small bathrooms?
The best small bathroom ideas will maximise the space you have. From installing a bidet to simple decorative tips there are plenty of things you can do to make it look bigger. Recessed shelves can make a huge difference both visually and practically to small bathrooms, so if you are able to have these installed when your walls are being renovated you could add some to your shower or sink area. You could choose pale colours and iridescent tiles that reflect the light, keep walls and ceilings the same colour and texture, and use complementary shades throughout the bathroom– fewer contrasts and transitions will help maintain the sense of space. Floating bathroom units also draw the eye to visible floor space underneath them, and clear glass shower screens will keep the room feeling open and airy. Finishing touches like artfully placed large mirrors will also make small bathrooms appear more expansive.1
