The European Bath

I'm not exactly sure why this bathroom is a European bath. A subcontractor referred to it as such, and we laughed and went with it. Because it's on the main floor of the home, I wanted this bath to be a little less traditional and have some personality. This room is so difficult to photograph that the professional photographer didn't provide any photos. Rather than stress about getting perfect pics, I used my iPhone to snap a few quick shots.

This bath has a few unique features. First, we selected a quartz countertop and rectangular bowl sink, while the other baths feature granite countertops and traditional, round sinks. The shower has a glass wall and subway tile that matches the kitchen backsplash, and the floor is a unique, linear tile (Daltile Fabrique in Blanc Linen). The cabinetry matches the master bath and kitchen cabinetry.

Neat Feature: Door Frame Light Switch

One of the inexpensive touches that adds a more custom feel to our kitchen is a simple door frame light switch for our pantry. We simply open the door, and the light turns on. It's a small touch, but it's nice for a dark, interior closet. The light switch is completely hidden when the door is closed.

His and Hers Vanity

When asked about our wishes for our master bath vanity height, I inquired if it would be possible to do two different heights. Jeff always appreciates a higher vanity, and, of course, I need everything to be standard or low. So, we decided to make minor changes to the cabinet set-up on each side and vary the heights. It was very simple, and we really do appreciate this small touch.
Our general contractor kept the tops of the mirrors and the light fixtures at the same height on the walls, and I think it works very well.

The frames around the mirrors are just trim pieces applied to sheet mirrors. I had elected to go buy framed mirrors for each bath, however, there came a point in the renovation when I was completely overwhelmed with selections and decided to go the easy and inexpensive route. Because our trim is a custom paint match to our cabinetry, it all seems to blend well. Maybe we'll switch the mirrors later. Maybe not.
