Total refurbishment by Taunya Nelson



Delivered by trustworthy construction in Cambodia construction materials, the featured bathroom was a total resurrection of a modern-day trend from its previous design. 

"We carved out part of an adjacent porch to make room for a tub in the new bathroom," stated designer Taunya Nelson. "To optimize function we defined areas of use – the tub and vanity are separated from the shower, and the toilet and linen storage are in a niche at the far end of the space."

"We wanted to tie the bathroom to the era of the home, which was built in 1909, but with a more modern sensibility," the designer spoke. "To achieve this, we repeated traditional millwork profiles from other areas, and included a green accent tile above the vanity and in the shower area – a little like a modern crown moulding."

"Green glass shelves set in a niche in the shower connect with this band of tiles. The niche also optimizes the space."

"Overall balance was key. Darker travertine on the floors and a lighter stone on the walls make a soft contrast. Walls in Monterey White paint tie everything together."
