Atlanta Home Improvement – Design Trends: Open Bathroom
November 2007
When designing in a lakehouse, there is the urge to celebrate the nature surrounding you. This open floor planned bathroom was created so the user could take in the forest that wrapped the house and was present through all of the huge windows. Further echoing the nature outside, was the green onyx open shower, the tub that is sited like furniture in the middle of the bathroom, and the reclaimed heart of pine floor boards.
Lakehouse Open Bathroom
The large master bathroom features a rare onyx tiled shower with double shower heads. Onyx is a stone mined from Iran and is like glass in its transparency and is swirled with a multitude of color. A small toilet closet is easily closed off with a vintage pocket door & antique pocket door pulls. A restored clawfooted tub and a 1890s pink granite sink with antique chrome legs grace this bright and airy bathroom. Like much of the house, this bathroom has an odd shaped built in beaded board cabinet with flush inset doors and an antique oak medicine cabinet.
