Project: Marble Bathrooms and More! Full Bathroom, Powder Room, Fireplace Mantel Surround, and Wainscot Molding in Melrose, MA (AKA #ProjectMelroseMarbleBathroom)
Our clients came to us with a healthy list of renovations and upgrades they wanted to make to their colonial home in Melrose. After a few years in the home and already having made beautiful improvements to hardwood flooring and fixtures throughout, the second floor bathroom and first floor powder room were high on their list. They also wanted to add architectural interest with a new fireplace design (hearth, mantel, tile surround and glass doors), as well as wainscot molding in the first floor office and dining room.
Working within an overall budget and a do-it-all-at-once timeline, we improved functionality and aesthetics in the bathrooms with updated layouts and design schemes, and laid out mantel and molding details to ensure a smooth construction process. After sorting through the inevitable bumps and hiccups that occur during construction, our clients can now walk through their home admiring all of the beautiful and smart upgrades they have made, not least of which include serene, spa-like bathrooms.
The second floor bathroom received a full gut remodel to create space for a walk-in shower, remove the narrow pocket door, and reconfigure the crowded layout. We also gained space and functionality with a double sink vanity.
The layout was reconfigured slightly by removing a small shower stall and replacing with a tall linen cabinet, and we replaced the alcove tub with a luxurious, custom walk-in shower complete with tiled bench, custom wall niche, showerhead and separate handshower.
Marble, marble, marble! The honed Carrara Marble subway tile, pencil liner, and hexagon floor mosaic create a spa-like feel in this gorgeous custom shower.
The custom wall niche allows plenty of space for our client’s perfectly styled soap and shampoo bottles!
The Honed Marble continues on the countertop and backsplash, and looks amazing on the light gray cabinetry! The reflection in the mirror gives a perfect view of the tall linen cabinet in the previous shower stall location.
The floor to ceiling linen cabinet uses every inch of space, providing plenty of additional storage.
We just can’t get enough of that stunning marble!
More great details – dark bronze cabinet hardware and matte black framed mirrors and light fixtures!
The neutral monochromatic color palette with beautiful contrast came together perfectly in this full bathroom design.
We did a full gut remodel of the first floor powder room with all new fixtures and finishes. The sophisticated new design features a show-stopping navy blue three-drawer vanity accented with a champagne bronze faucet and hardware. We maximized the small space with an oversized mirror and flanking sconces centered on the main wall above the vanity and toilet.
This powder room was the perfect space to implement the client’s vision of gorgeous wallpaper!
Our use of marble continues in the powder room with this amazing gray-blue marble mosaic floor tile!
It’s all about the details! It’s hard to pick a favorite with the honed marble countertop, champagne bronze faucet and cabinet hardware, classic light fixtures, and the fresh and fun medallion wallpaper.
The powder room materials came together with sophisticated pops of color and pattern.
We updated the fireplace with a custom mantel, distressed brick tile surround, glass doors, and a bluestone hearth.
The new custom-built fireplace mantel stands out with beautiful details!
We constructed custom wainscoting and molding in the first floor office and dining room to add character and interest with the Van Duesen Blue walls.
