Rustic Modern Bathrooms

Thursday, December 20th, 2012

How to achieve that clean, modern, yet rustic bathroom:

  • lots of white : white penny tile, Carrera marble stone, white hex tile, white ceramic sinks and plumbing fixtures
  • vessel sinks and wall mounted faucets for the modern touch
  • salvaged wood for the rustic and warm feel: shelves, vanity cabinet, even toilet seat cover.

Take a look at this gorgeous vanity from Matteo Thun. So easy to recreate with a nice slab of salvaged wood and the right plumbing fixtures.

Its really hard to find the vanity you like for your vessel sink and wall mounted faucet. And custom vanity cabinets are quite expensive. Make your own, just like this converted dresser via Color Me Carla.

In fact, check out the rest of this handsome room.

Upper West Side Bedroom

Thursday, August 2nd, 2012

My latest e-design was working on a master bedroom in NYC. For Manhattan, this bedroom is ginormous, but for the rest of the country it was a tight squeeze to fit in the owner’s existing furniture and a separate work area. I believe the arrangement I came up with does the trick.  The mix of modern, vintage, and ethnic created the sophisticated and serene space the client was seeking. I would steal a few of these elements for myself if I were to do my bedroom over.

Sunia Homes

This model home in Echo Park, LA has been covered by Apartment Therapy and  The Brick House, but I just had to do a post too. I love the clean, open, modern structure decked out with more earthy and tactile materials. Its the perfect combination of modernity and vintage/up-cycled, feeling fresh and clean.  The homes built are environmentally conscientious to boot. A quality project all around.
