Main Street Bath

This historic home located on the horn of Massachusetts received a small addition. However, because of the home's historic significance, the design needed to remain within the existing overall footprint and feel of the home. A new bathroom was in order for this Cape Cod home, and to achieve this required a small addition to its second story. This newly built area may be small in scale, but the feat to achieve it was mighty. The homeowners desired double vanities and storage along with a soak tub and a walk in shower. To create the space to accommodate the homeowners needs, a deck area was enclosed and a closet was removed from the adjacent master bedroom to gather space for the shower. And by partially integrating the tub into the cabinetry, deep linen drawers were added and the remainder of the room was fitted with a beautiful furniture base board. In addition, the designer needed to ensure the new bathroom not only fit within the floor plan, but fit aesthetically, blending with the overall look and feel of the home. Warm natural tones were selected throughout, and the Presidio Raised door style with a profiled edge with detailed molding, finished in Slivered Almond on Maple was chosen to carry out that esthetic. Feet added to the cabinetry gives the cabinetry the appearance of furniture. The color scheme of the bath space is rounded out with marble countertops and flooring, champagne inspired lighting, and brushed nickel water appliance features, while mirrored upper cabinets help reflect light making the space appear much larger.
