Category: Small Bathrooms -- Honorable Mention -- Family Function in Style
The challenge for this single downstairs bath was to incorporate durability to endure the steady use of a family with three teenagers, along with the elegance to serve as a powder room for guests. The clients also wanted a room that reflected the eclectic nature of their Bayou heritage to maintain their personal stamp on the space.

Glass mosaic tiles wrap a portion of wall, which was furrowed six inches to accommodate cast iron pipes and still allow for the use of a wall-mounted faucet. This also created the opportunity to recess the extra deep medicine cabinet halfway into the new wall. Cherry cabinets and weathered copper fixtures tie this bath into the traditional styling of the old home. A granite vessel sink, mosaic tiles, and contemporary light fixtures give eclectic balance to the space.
