Bathroom Humor

Without the humor. Below are pictures of the bathrooms. Keep in mind that they still need the mirrors installed. Lately it seems like every post says the house is completely done and then goes on to list all the work that still needs to be finished. So sue me.  

This is the cute little downstairs half bath. It took its inspiration from that super cool bathroom in New Jersey. The amount of room in this room doesn't allow for half the grooviness of New Jersey but the detail of the dark grout and the tile baseboard is super sharp and makes the room feel like it's wearing a well-tailored suit.

The walls are Anchor Gray but even though they're dark it doesn't make the room feel small. The tall, narrow window lets in tons of light which reflects off the bright white wall tiles.

And the acorn light, a super generous gift from my friend Malina, is the perfect finishing touch. It's a very cozy and very functional room. I deem it a success.

And here's a look at the upstairs bath in its more finished state. The marble on the shower tread and half wall is in and the floor and wall tiles have been grouted. The fabricator picked a great section of the slab to use for the threshold, I love that it's so dramatic and pretty.

And I also love the edge detail that you can just glimpse on the wall ledge.

The awesome shampoo nooks are done but almost better than those and probably the most practically brilliant part of the shower design can be seen right here. You can turn on the water while standing over at the shower entrance -- which is at a safe, non-water-drenching distance from the shower head.

So no worrying about getting blasted with cold water. Thanks Bill, God is in the details.

And over here, opposite the shower, is the genius little soaking tub. Calgon, take me away. The tub marble looks a little monolithic from this angle but it's less heavy-handed when you see it in person. (I hope.) When Bill first drew up the plans for this room there was just a shower, no bathtub. When I said I'd also really like to have a tub he looked through the catalog in his robot brain and suggested this tub from Kohler that's short enough to fit in the room and deep enough to soak away all your troubles. Can't wait to give it a try. I can not wait to move in!
