A few extra square feet of tile likely won’t sink the budget. That’s why many homeowners and designers are choosing to wrap the tub apron in tile or another material. The amount of tile needed to cover this minimal surface area isn’t much, but the payoff is big. Here, white beveled subway tile on the walls and tub apron help create a cohesive design while adding a bit of shimmer and texture.
The cabinet drawers are not soft close when they come stock but, we purchased soft close drawer slides on Amazon and my husband installed them prior to the installation and painting. It cost about $100 extra to make the change ,but we’ll worth it! Promark is the brand name. You’d also need a special clamp & jig by Kreg which adds another $45. We have another kitchen we’re doing the same thing with. Once finished, hubby will probably sell the extra tools purchased on Craigslist or Facebook garage sales. At any rate, for less than an additional $150, we’ve got wonderful soft close drawers.

Glass shower door has a curve at the top, hinged to swing all the way open. This makes it easy to turn on the faucets or bathe a little one, while the clear glass makes the room look open and large.
Matte black faucets and accessories pick up on the dark tiles and provide contrast to the white subway tile. “Often a shower floor tile is different than the tile on the rest of a bathroom floor, but we made the space feel larger by continuing the bathroom floor tile across the shower floor in here. And there is no shower door, so as to keep an open feel. The shower head arm is up high at 90 degrees to keep a great majority of the water within the fixed glass panel area.” The vanity is teak, matching minimalist teak open shelves along the wall.
Frameless shower doors are also a great look for shower-tub combos, Another nice feature of frameless shower doors is that they’re user-friendly. “They keep cleaning simple since they have less hardware to clean around,”
Wet rooms. Putting a stand-alone tub in an enclosed shower area makes sense. Why not contain all the functions that cause splashing in one space? Cue the rise of the wet room. If you’ve got the space, consider this practical approach to laying out the bathroom.
. Tiled bathtub aprons. Tile is a great, affordable material that adds design points to a bathroom, and ordering a few extra square feet of tile likely won’t sink the budget... we’re seeing many designers covering the tub apron in tile or another material Dvira Interiors used mini marble mosaic tile on every surface in this Toronto bathroom to help integrate all the angles.

Hot water heaters are generally bulky, awkward and never where you’d like them to be. But don’t let yours thwart you. Use it as the starting point for a super-practical custom utility cabinet, with little nooks for everything you need to stash in it. Try laying out all that needs to be stored and design the shelving around it, rather than vice versa, to max the space.

For the mantel she used reclaimed wood from an 1860 farmhouse milled, stained and sealed. “To provide contrast to the wood and continue the use of organic materials, vein-cut stacked limestone for the fireplace surround.".
