The existing, very functional vanity cabinet got a facelift from its dark cherry stained finish by being painted by Columbia Interior Finishes Ltd.in a soft shade of grey. Now it complimented the marble floor, and offered a more subtle background for what was to come! And, the addition of new hardware with Swarovski crystals brought some bling to play. The vanity countertop was replaced with a sparkling quartz and the shaped backsplash was cut to frame the below referenced fixtures and mimic the shape of the custom fitted mirror above.

The vanity was still low, so the design concept was to elevate the sink, choosing the faceted Briolette vessel sink from KOHLER Power as a focal point for the vanity. It sits under the angular, contemporary wall-mounted faucets which were included completely by design. They keep the surface simple, add refinement, and allow each fixture element to be used and appreciated all on its own.

The walls had only been painted before, so I introduced a large-scale wall covering with a very subtle pattern and a slight shimmer, to create that little bit of elegance that I knew he would like!

Lastly, the finale’ in this space for me was to be able to fulfill his love for artwork, and affect! He likes visuals that move you. Knowing that he used this bathroom daily, and wanted it to have a spark of cool factor , I specified artwork selections that matched perfectly, but were almost… erotic in style.
