Edgy master suite
Texture and polish combine in this contemporary bathroom. A mix of multicolor slate, dark alder cabinetry and sleek Calacatta marble combine beautifully in this master retreat. Keeping a balance between overall costs of materials and everyday maintenance, we chose a playful mix of porcelain tile for the shower; a simple matte grey and a great Calacutta look-a-like compliment the adjacent marble slabs.
Like many, they don’t use the jetted tub as often as the original builder had intended. Reusing the ‘like-new’ tub made sense; we simply covered the original tub deck with new tile, a bit of reducing and reusing in remodeling. The tub alcove sits opposite the vanities and demanded better balance in the bathroom. Now a focal point, the high tile surround features hand cut slate with an organic edge that is repeated on each side.
