Small guest bathroom renovation

UWS couple was in desperate need of a facelift for their small second full bath.

BEFORE:

AFTER: I brought the mirror in away from the side walls just a bit for a more custom look- tile surround seemed to open the space up rather than wall-to-wall mirror. Adding a floating shelf also helped to float the mirror.

BEFORE:

AFTER: oversized tiles = less grout lines and larger areas for your eye to rest.  This helps to expand an otherwise small space.  The vertical element is used to bring your eye up (high ceilings) rather than bisecting the room by running it horizontally.

BEFORE:

AFTER:  When we opened the wall to the right we uncovered a hidden closet!  It wasn't usable since it was in the shower stall but we took advantage of the space by adding large, deep shower nooks for storage.  This helps to keep the shower bench clean and clutter free.

From dated to updated in just a few weeks!

East Hampton, NY

This space was already perfect.
Adding some color here and there... a few found objects.... re-upholstering outdoor furniture and painting the covered porch furniture an unexpected color... these are embellishments on an already sublime home.

All the right furniture and accessories in all the right places...

Choosing a color like Benjamin Moore's Gentlemen's Gray brings a rich textural element to the room.  The gazelles seem regal and elevate not only your eye but the room as a whole.  

Natural teak furniture needed a boost.  Painting the outdoor furniture an unexpected color like this bright mustard gave it new life...

Adding some bright new cushions and giant ferns did the trick!  Still in the market for a new coffee table...

Sometimes you just have to have some fun.
