Transforming A Guest Bathroom to a Spa-Like Feel

It's been a busy, busy life. I hope I keep growing and learning as I go along. I love helping family, friends and clients when they need help with Interior Design or Event Planning. I finish one thing, then start another. Many great projects are coming up with my wonderful clients!

I just finished a small guest bath with a spa-like feel. The clients love how it turned out! Not only does it provide well for their own guests, it adds value to their home. I am showing the "after" pictures first! As you scroll down, you will see why the "before" pictures are on the bottom.



AFTER
I used soothing shades of warm gray and beige, with dark cabinetry and white accents. Glass tile accented the back splash and shower wall.

The client chose a 36" high counter top, great for most teenagers and adults (a young guest could use a little stool.) The toilet is also raised higher than traditional-- it is called "comfort height".

The cabinet is open underneath to allow for rolled up towels. 

I added a strip of glass tile to give the shower wall some interest and color.

The softly curved vessel sink  with a tall faucet gives a contemporary look.

Apothecary Jars are filled with necessities.

Adding well chosen, attractive accessories makes the room feel complete.

Now I will show you some before photos. As you can see, the bathroom had a complete makeover!


BEFORE
The bathroom was outdated.

The tiled counter tops were not only old fashioned, they were falling apart.

Tiles were broken. Some of the pieces were even missing.


The medicine chest was a waste of space.

This was the original sink.

The hinges on the cabinet doors had broken.

What a transformation!
