Bye, Bye Old Bathrooms

This (relatively) small room can carry a big message about home design. It can
be intimate and inviting, formal or a touch frivolous. Your bathroom design can
say a great deal about your personality and the overall effect you're striving
to achieve in your home. And the materials you select will play a major role in
establishing the room's tone
Hollywood Bath
Carol Maryott, ASID, created an old-world Tuscan look for a client's Hollywood
bath.
"The stone used in the shower is a random natural color with accents of
charcoal," Maryott said. "The decorative border is a basket weave pattern with a
Tuscan border liner. The shower floor is a matching octagonal pattern, bringing
the Old World look to the new walk-in shower. The bench top is honed crema
marfil marble. New satin nickel shower fixtures were installed with thermostatic
valves for temperature control as well as an additional hand-held shower for
ease and convenience."
Maryott used Kashmir/Gold granite for the surface of each of two vanities in
this bathroom, giving one a more masculine feel than the other. "The granite
backsplashes are seven inches high with a bevel edge," Maryott said. "A satin
nickel single-lever faucet was chosen for its elegance and simplicity."
