Tone on Tone

Based on the size and period of the home, we decided to go with a very simple color palette consisting of shades of white, with a very simple black accent. We chose shiny chrome for hardware and lighting to add sparkle, and just a hint of contemporary. And because the bathrooms are back-to-back, I felt it best to repeat all materials and color choices in both bathrooms.




Gone now are the fluorescent tubes aside the old mirrors. The new lighting consists of recessed cans in the ceilings, beautiful new sconces and ceiling lights from Restoration Hardware, and of course they're all on dimmers! The homeowner discovered the cool black"frames", which are actually recessed cabinets with a picture frame on the front. (Think medicine cabinet, but replace the mirror with a picture!)

The first two custom bathroom entry doors were made the wrong size. Another minor setback, but resolved quickly. Start to finish for both bathrooms was about seven weeks. Not bad, actually. That did require a lot of planning and ordering before hand to make sure materials were available when needed. Hey, that's where we come in!
