Wooded Spa Retreat
Year
2024
This bathroom was one of those spaces that came together with intention and feeling. From the start, we wanted it to reflect the home’s wooded surroundings, so we chose a deep green tile that echoes the trees just outside the window. We paired it with warm wood and wood-look tile to bring in a natural richness and soften the modern lines. The result is a room that blurs the line between modern and mid-century modern—structured, but with soul. Designing this space was about more than finishes and fixtures—it was about creating something that feels grounded, restorative, and connected to its place.

This bathroom renovation focused on rethinking the layout for better function while honoring the home’s mid-century style. The original setup—a single double vanity with one large mirror—lacked personality. We replaced it with two individual vanities, each with ample countertop and storage space, creating better flow and a more personalized feel.
We used Porcelanosa’s Krion solid surface to create custom floating vanities with integrated sinks. Floating them above a single drawer base kept the look open while still offering practical storage. It’s a clean, modern solution that’s both stylish and easy to maintain.
Design-wise, we leaned into contrast to blur the line between modern and mid-century. Dark green wall tile connects the room to the wooded landscape outside, while soft concrete-look floor tile adds a sleek, contemporary edge. The Ralph Lauren sconces were the perfect finishing detail—refined, understated, and just enough.
This is about as close to showering outside as we can get here in the Chicagoland area with weather. I love how this captures the feeling - with our use of materials and then the windows and skylights.
