Master Bath Meets Creative Style

Great design doesn't stop at the sink. Enrich a space with details that are beyond ordinary.

Adding on is not just about more space; it's also about seamlessly connecting with the existing structure. This bath addition in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is a perfect example. Builder Chris Fisher purchased the one-bath home with such a project in mind. Details were chosen carefully to blend the cottage look of the original home with the new space.

Aged Appeal

To keep the old farmhouse feel, Chris designed the bath to appear as if a side porch had been enclosed to create the space. Concrete flooring is coated with red-, green-, and cola-colored stains.

Twin Sinks

Chris chose a pair of pedestal sinks; the classic, clean lines were a natural fit. His mother, interior decorator Liz Fisher, found a dresser at an antiques shop to place in between the sinks for storage. Liz and Chris enhanced the piece with a top made of tumbled marble tiles and then repeated the tiles on the tub surround to add texture and warmth. It's a great backdrop for current owners Paul and Jennifer Walker's accessories. A set of salvaged doors adds vintage style to a new wall cabinet that provides more storage.

Trim Details

Baseboards, casing, and mirror frames are made from planks of select Douglas fir flat stock and finished with a latex varnish that preserves the material's beautiful hue. The natural wood offers a nice complement to the mossy green wall color. -JULIE FEAGIN SANDNER
