Bathroom Inspiration Was Found In A Magazine Picture



The shower is now open and airy

David and Kim wanted a spa like retreat master suite and luxury bathroom in their 1990’s Beaverton home. Their bathroom inspiration was found in a magazine picture and from that evolved a customized design plan by Revive LLC with the completion the work. Though this home’s master bathroom was already large in size, the hunter green 6”x6” tiles with white grout now dulled from the years, dominated and darkened the room along with the outdated brass fixtures.  The once cavernous shower was expanded to accommodate a sitting bench off the tub surround and is encased with 3/8” Euro glass panels and door to keep the space open and airy. The 22” soap niche inside the shower has a shelf to hold multiple items and a Grohe handheld unit completes the shower water experience.  Light in color  18”x18” Carrara honed marble tiles were meticulously selected by our tile crew and placed so the grain would all flow in the same direction from the floor to the shower walls and tub surround giving it a cohesive look. Matching bull nose pieces framed the edges and backsplash areas.  And a tub step was incorporated to help with easier access in and out of the large soaker tub. To accentuate the senses of warmth on chilly Oregon mornings, a Thermo Warm Wire radiant floor heating system with thermostat was installed and a wall towel warmer heats their towels for instant coziness exiting the shower. Additional can lighting with a dimmer switch controls the lighting for brightening on gray Oregon days or lowering for ambience settings.

 A custom vanity sits at a comfortable 36” height, topped with a matching Carrara marble slab and has roll out drawers in the cabinet door spaces for additional storage. The tub surround front and medicine cabinet door were custom made to match the vanity raised panel profile. All cabinetry, baseboard, and crown molding were spray painted in a soft white to keep the look smooth and clean to coincide with a custom mixed blue wall color.  For additional storage, a custom built on site mirrored shelving unit sits tucked in the private area above the toilet. The open shelves house additional bathing items and the mirrors reflect light in what could be a dark area.

In the master bedroom, which was decent in size, David and Kim wanted more room for a seating area and extra dresser. They wanted a true master suite. So an adjoining wall to an extra bedroom was knocked down and wall arches were built for architectural interest between the two spaces now blended cohesively together wrapped in crown molding and a new plush Fabrica Denali carpet. The new ceiling fan adds a pop of modern flair to the stylish bedroom. The custom wall color is just shades lighter than the bathroom for continuity between the rooms.

After wall removal, Master suite now extends into a

new seating area.

The wall between the two rooms was

removed to expand the master suite.

The door in the extra room was closed

up to have only one entry into large space. 

 

And no master suite is complete without a walk in closet, so the original master closet was expanded into the old extra bedroom’s closet then encased with cedar plank along with additional shelving plus a cubby hole storage. 

Now David and Kim have their sanctuary. A private retreat in a soft soothing palette, delightful pampering luxuries, and the blend of personal choices complete this space they desired… All inspired from a magazine picture. What’s your inspiration?
