2009 NKBA Bathroom Design Finalists

Category: Powder Rooms -- 1st Place -- Desert Solace
Embracing the meditative desert solitude and straightforward principals of transitional design, this powder room conveys style and solace. Buff brick pavers in a classic running bond pattern offers a neutral base flooring, while a stepped wood wall brings a creative focal point to the space. The use of black walnut and light Grigio limestone in a custom-crafted vanity brings balance between conventional and contemporary elements in the design.

A specialty paint technique gives an artistic result for the walls and ceiling. A trowel on plaster coating was applied and then textured for a dimensional finish. A hint of deeper paint tones and a smattering of texture keep the focus on simplicity, but bring to light the complexity of the design.
