St. Petersburg, Fl Kitchen and Bathroom Remodel - 60" Custom Farmhouse Sink

Rachiele Custom Sinks

This dazzling transformation turned a mundane kitchen into a chef's dream. This renovation story features the installation of a 60" Copper Farmhouse Sink equipped with the Harmony Dual Drain Workstation. Before Description: The original kitchen featured a small double bowl sink that lacked sophistication and functionality. It was a reminder of a bygone era, one that the homeowner was eager to leave behind. After Description: Post-renovation, the kitchen now boasts a magnificent 60" copper farmhouse sink that fits seamlessly into the Quartzite Cristalo countertop. This sink is expertly handcrafted with 14 gauge cold rolled domestic copper. The Harmony Dual Drain system elevates the culinary experience, allowing for seamless multitasking and organization. Design Philosophy: This project exemplifies Rachiele's commitment to transforming kitchens into spaces that blend artistry with utility. We believe a sink should be the heart of the kitchen, and with this renovation, we've turned that philosophy into a reality. Our client was so thrilled with his kitchen sink, he ordered another custom copper sink for his lavatory.

Addision Lane Powder Room

House of Jordyn

PHOTO CREDIT: INTERIOR DESIGN BY: HOUSE OF JORDYN © We can’t say enough about powder rooms, we love them! Even though they are small spaces, it still presents an amazing opportunity to showcase your design style! Our clients requested a modern and sleek customized look. With this in mind, we were able to give them special features like a wall mounted faucet, a mosaic tile accent wall, and a custom vanity. One of the challenges that comes with this design are the additional plumbing features. We even went a step ahead an installed a seamless access wall panel in the room behind the space with access to all the pipes. This way their beautiful accent wall will never be compromised if they ever need to access the pipes.

Traditional Powder Room Design Ideas with Quartzite Benchtops

Think of your powder room as a small bathroom that’s always on display. Likely to be frequented by guests or used as a second bathroom by family members, it should always look its best. Consisting of little more than a vanity, toilet and sink, you could be mistaken that traditional powder room designs are easy to execute, but the tight space can be tricky to get right. As you plan your bathroom renovation, consider the following.

How do I plan the layout of my powder room?

If you're building from scratch, an architect may be the best person to ask. There are three main objects to consider when planning the layout of your traditional powder room: the door, toilet and sink. Pocket, sliding or folding doors will give you more options for toilet and sink placement, while wall-mounted toilets will help save you a few inches of floor space, and make the room feel more spacious. To ensure ease of use, make sure the toilet has at least 38 centimetres of unobstructed space on either side, and 61 centimetres at the front. Powder rooms are primarily a place to use the toilet and quickly wash your hands, so unless you have the square meterage, you don’t need a full-blown vanity. Look for compact options, like a pedestal or wall-mounted sink instead.

What materials should I use in my powder room?

There’s not much space to work with when designing a traditional powder room, so keep your design fairly simple. Otherwise, too many different patterns and textures will quickly overwhelm the space. To avoid a disjointed design, opt for one statement piece or element, such as a fun splashback, benchtop or vanity, and choose subtle materials like stone, marble or granite for everything else. If you fear you haven’t created enough visual interest, fill the void with bathroom accessories such as hand towels and soap dispensers. High-quality bathroom fixtures – including everything from your toilet roll holder to faucet – with matching lines and style, will make a big difference in a such a small space, so if you have the budget, splurge a little!
