Room of the Month - 59th Ave Master Bathroom
/Light & bright with modern farmhouse finishes! This Master Bathroom has it all - claw foot tub, floating shelves, and walk-in shower! Let’s take a closer look at the details…
Vanities
Custom built vanities feature function & beauty! The lower open storage is the perfect place to display towels or other decor, while the center bench offer separation between spaces & a place to take a break! Solid surface counters showcase the stunning countertop mount sinks by DXV. Drawer space is functional while still giving the vanity area the “open - feel”.
Light Fixtures
We always say - light fixtures are the jewelry of the home! They help in making your vision (or theme) come to life! This bathroom features simple yet beautiful clear globe lights over the vanities & in the ceiling - giving it the Modern Farmhouse vibe our clients were looking for!
Claw-foot Tub
Ok, time for the real showstopper - this TUB! This clawfoot tub by Kallista is easily one of the most eye catching features in this bathroom. With dramatic eagle-claw feet and furled edging, it truly is a piece of art! Paired with the modern Mirabelle tub faucet, it rings true to the style of this home. Enameled floating shelves are a great place to display decor!
Tile Plank Flooring
These wood-look plank tile floors are the perfect way to add warmth into this space while still being functional for a bathroom. The various widths & colors give you a rustic, comfortable feel.
Tile Shower
Who doesn’t love a classic white subway tile shower? It’s the perfect mix of traditional & modern! This shower features 2 shower heads - one mounted on the wall & one rain head - bringing you a spa-like experience! These homeowners’ opted for a shower ledge vs. a niche - which we think was a great choice! It’s a functional yet clean way to access all the things you’ll need in the shower. Framed with clear heavy glass, this shower is the perfect place to relax.

Add a Little Spring to Your Home
/Spring is in the air and if you are looking for a few ways to add a little spring to your household, here are a few ideas with flowers and greenery.
One of the easiest ways to brighten up a room for spring, is to add flowers! If you choose real flowers you will also get to enjoy the smell of spring. Flowers are easy accents pieces to put on almost any surface in a room. If the room could use more color, then go with a colorful variety of flowers. In a more colorful room you could use neutral tones, like white or one solid color flower.
A colorful centerpiece in the middle of a large space can really brighten up the whole area.
White floral arrangements go well with a soft colored room.
A simple center piece on the dining room table, along with accent flowers in the corner of the room.
Different areas on the countertops
The white arrangement of flowers go well with the blue accent pieces in this dining room.
Greenery and flowers often go very well together, especially in larger spaces. Greenery is one of my favorite ways to add a little more life to a room. Adding greenery to your home can be made simple and you do not need to worry about matching patterns or colors. Here are a few ideas for placement of greenery that are all different shapes and sizes.
Centerpieces
Wall & corner shelves
Console & side tables
