Bath Over $80,001

This beautiful Lacey Estate was meticulously designed when it was built 25 years ago. The layout was functional, but the current design and finishes felt weighted and heavy. The bathroom and dressing room suite needed to be redesigned to improve performance and create a more elevated experience. The clients’ love for millwork was a driving force in this remodel designed by Tara Waits, and it was added wherever possible.

Hardwood floors were installed throughout the closet, bedroom and sitting room. Floor-to-ceiling cabinets were carefully planned with personalized storage solutions. The result is not just a closet but an extraordinary extension of the primary bath.

The bathroom tub deck and jetted tub were removed and replaced with a stunning, free-standing tub and faucet that gave the room a feeling of space and openness. The placement of the tub and modern chandelier frame the view of a prized 17th-century European well that stands outside the window.   Marble-clad floors and walls were installed in varying sizes and formats to create interest and luxury. A custom marble cap and backsplash were designed to seamlessly integrate the wainscot with the vanities. The vanities were re-used and transformed by adding paneling and feet. Custom-lit mirrors eliminated the need for vanity lighting. Because of the tricky natural light on this side of the home, color light tests were conducted to strike the right balance to correct finish colors.

This project achieved its goal of lightening the environment and creating a luxurious and extravagant getaway.
