Home Spa Bath

I love this bathroom! The large curvy soak tub is called the "Mini Lavasca" , made by Rapsel, available through www.hastingstilebath.com

The tub has sleek modern lines that give this room the spa sanctuary look. To the right of the tub is a large open shower, one inch square glass tiles were used to cover the three walls. The tiles are repeated on the backsplash of the vessel sink sink by www.duravit.com . Large leaning  mirror from www.EQ3.com .  Stacked windows are frosted glass for privacy. Floors : black slate.

This is a home in Chapel Hill we shot for a OLD HOUSE INTERIORS magazine( August 2010).The interior of the house is very cool...great architectural design features throughout....in the second photo is the powder room, with salvaged door from a church...fits in with the Gothic Victorian look of the exterior design of the home... lots of color, very eclectic. The master bedroom and bath are my favorite rooms. The bedroom is a large bright room with lots of color and competing patterns( I don't want to live in this room- but I certainly can appreciate it's style. The master bath has this unusually large-i'm guessing 7 ft. vanity w/ double sinks w/bronze hardware and small round sinks. The chest on the left is inlaid w/mother of pearl. What do you think?  Architect: Sandra Vitzthum

modern steel and concrete home overlooking James River 

this wonderful space was recently built for a young family...out in the middle of nowhere. but what incredible views... the kitchen has lots of storage space, but it's the amazing Miele steamer that i envy! the owner's had to have it sent over from Europe...what nobody steams here in the states?- or it is that we just throw it in a pot and make do...who wouldn't want this steamer- perfect for fish too....... but back to the kitchen appliances include Jennaire 6 burner range, Electrolux dishwasher, GE profile refrigerator. the cabinets are a rich chocolate, with clean lines, classic modern brushed steel hardware. floors are pored concrete in a custom motteled mustard color.
