Award-Winning Bathroom Design (1st Place) by Gary Potter, CKD, CBD. Featured in Better Homes & Gardens, September/October 2008 Edition. These homeowners were tired of sharing a main bathroom with their two children and decided to renovate their home by adding a second floor to their 1950's Etobicoke bungalow. This allowed them to carve out a space for an ensuite bathroom. The influence for this spa-like bathroom was inspired by a trip the homeowners recently returned from, where they celebrated an anniversary at a luxurious resort in Bali. The natural elements and tones in this space, such as the cherry cabinetry, the river rock that flows from the shower to the vanity, the earthy granite countertop and threshold and natural light emitted from the skylight overhead all contribute to a feeling of serenity and relaxation.

Keeping the integrity of the existing style is important to us — and this Rio Del Mar cabin remodel is a perfect example of that. For this special bathroom update, we preserved the essence of the original lathe and plaster walls by using a nickel gap wall treatment. The decorative floor tile and a pebbled shower call to mind the history of the house and its beach location. The marble counter, and custom towel ladder, add a natural, modern finish to the room that match the homeowner's unique designer flair.
