Design inspiration
The design followed a modern country farmhouse aesthetic, combining elegance with timeless appeal. Key to the project was incorporating the client’s cherished pieces, such as an island purchased from a Mennonite community and a dining room set from her grandmother. The island was enlarged to suit the new kitchen layout, and the wood top from the dining set was repurposed as an accent detail above the cooktop for a cohesive look.
The result
Despite space constraints in the primary bathroom, Waterfront Homes managed to incorporate both a bathtub and a shower by cleverly designing an under-mount tub that extended into a bench within the shower. This layout worked seamlessly in the small space. The bathroom's focal point is a bold black herringbone wall that beautifully highlights the gold Brizo faucets, adding a touch of luxury.
