CLIENT:  Mr. & Mrs. Dennis
PROJECT LOCATION:  Larchmont, NY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:  Complete gutting of existing bathroom, as you can tell by the before picture.

The Larchmont Guest Bath is on the main floor of the home. As you enter, you feel the warm, soothing colors of  Scabas Rosa tumbled marble. To your right, you see the thick frameless glass and clean geometry of an oversized, custom shower stall. As you look into the shower you notice the handsome tile work. You take a closer look at the shower and you notice the cream-colored bench in polished Botticino marble. This is the kind of shower everyone deserves.

 As you step further into the bathroom, you sense a perfect balance of luxury and utility. The china white Kohler toilet is clean, functional, and does not compete with the finer touches in the room. You notice the considerable elbow room surrounding the toilet. The vanity is in natural maple and is topped with a polished Botticino marble countertop. All the hardware is finished handsomely in brushed nickel.

This bathroom is unique. The pleasing colors and unique graining of natural stone can only be produced by nature. The walls are treated with a Venetian plaster faux finish in a mellow cream color that is in full harmony with the marble stone. This is the kind of bathroom that does not get boring even after you have lived with it for years.

Your design ideas have made our house more livable, enjoyable, and perfect for entertaining.
Everyone whose had a remodeling project is aware of the dust, debris and disruption involved.  We appreciate your efforts to keep our pain to a minimum even though most of our house went through significant construction.
