Modern Metal + Wood Staircase

A few months ago I wrapped up a year long client renovation project. It was quite the undertaking when I walked into the cavernous house that was like stepping back into the 80’s with shiny cabinetry + mirrored walls.

I was planning on creating one post with a full house tour of this new Modern Bohemian style home, but there are too many good details that shouldn’t be missed, so I’m going to share multiple posts. First up… the staircase.

Here is a glimpse at what it looked like when you stepped inside before the renovation began…

What a blast from the 80’s past, right?!?

And here is how we transformed it with a whole new updated staircase…

If you can believe it, the stair structure is existing. The dated metal railings were removed, as well as the closed wall between the first floor and the lower level to create a more fluid space. In it’s place, a new modern metal + wood railing was installed.

Here is a peak during construction…

We added a fun + fabulous cactus print wallpaper in a coral hue on the one wall.

There is so much more to show you! For now, I hope you enjoyed the result of this gorgeous new staircase.

Bathroom: Green With Envy

As an ode to St. Patrick’s Day yesterday, I have to share this recently finished spa-like bathroom that I designed for a Client. The overall space is filled with lots of varying shades, but to make it unique + unexpected, we added a major splash of color to the vanity…

GREEN!

The pop of green was a request of the client and I was all for it. When she mentioned wanting to introduce a fun color for the new 7′ long custom vanity, I was on the hunt for the perfect shade.

In the end we chose Benjamin Moore Green With Envy 2036-30. It’s a fabulous color that is a true green with a slight blue undertone instead of yellow like a typical kelly green color would be.

Here’s a Benjamin Moore color chart for greens and you can see where Green With Envy falls compared to other greens…

On to the rest of the bathroom space…

The existing window had to be moved because it did not work with the proposed shower / tub configuration. We reused the existing window and positioned it to be centered over the new soaking tub.

The tub is an undermount style and we had a quartz top templated for the tub deck, which extends into the shower to create a bench to sit on. The design when the deck continues into the shower is such a modern, clean look.

Once the slab was in, the glass enclosure was templated and created the needed separation between the tub space and the shower.

Check out that detail here..

At the tub face, we added in a mosaic tile in shades of grey and positioned it vertically. The tile continues on to the face of the bench and is also used at the sides + back of the vertical niche.

The walls are complete with a simple + modern 4″ x 12″ white subway tile that runs floor to ceiling in the shower and continues partially up the wall at the tub space.

Wouldn’t you love to get ready in a space like this every day?!?
