“This beautiful master bath had a great beginning but just needed some finishing touches.”
First up the walls. To blend the grey, white and beige of the marble tiles, we chose a soft shimmering taupe grass cloth with a silver background from York.
Next stop, soften the room with textiles: A beautiful wool and silk runner combines the tile colors and add my favorite color…Blue. Varying shades of blue, taupe and grey with stunning black accents add color and texture to the coolness of the marble. Slip off your shoes and see h ow good it feels on your feet. The windows have a simple Couture fabric valance trimmed with Mercury glass beads which sparkle in the sunlight. Crystal vases sit on custom faux finished pedestals which hold candles for a subtle ambience. A dark blue console holds towels and decorative accents. A luxurious brass accented bench invites you to sit and relax while filling the oversized tub, a true indulgence.
On to the lighting: The fabulous shimmering pendant light is literally the crowning jewel of the space. Crystal beads and soft brass accents shimmer and shine when you turn on the lights. Silk painted shades adorn the sconces while a coordinating fixture lights the entry way.
The final touches; the art. An oversized contemporary Giclée Tennessee Morning is like looking out a window onto a field of flowers with a perfect blue sky. Original photo art from Alyssa Peek Ditch Plans and Changing Seasons is an homage to my favorite place the beach. Above the blue console, 6 small silk screen on glass pieces titled People Watching are grouped together. Artist Cathy Coricone’s acrylic paintings complete the art in the room. Her original pieces Moon Drops, Warm Pool and Cool Pool provide a sense of serenity with soft soothing colors and brush strokes.
