Landon recommended changing to a 4′-long tub, styled in the character of the bungalow home. Blending a family bath with powder room formality was achieved by:
– Two furniture-like pieces that function as a vanity and vitrine,
both usable for storage.
– A wainscoat as a formal element, but executed in tile and limited
to the service section of the bathroom.
– Omitting tile behind the vitrine which enhanced the more formal
aspect of the forward section of the bathroom.
– Using marble for the counters.
– Glass & mirror were used to visually expand and unite the room.
– The arched top of the mirror draws the eye upward (away from the
toilet) and is an effective backdrop for the Kovac’s “Ripple” lights.
– The three drawers in the vanity are all usable and fitted around the
sink and drain.
– The vanity was recessed into the wall to create more floor space.
