A Master Suite Within the Existing Footprint

Stone Mosaic Shower wall with matching Art Glass Cabinet Doors

Built in 1903, this vernacular farmhouse had small rooms, limited closets, and poor flow.  The owners wanted a luxurious master suite without increasing the footprint of the house.

We consolidated two small bedrooms into a spacious master bedroom.  A bit of additional room was taken from the overly large stairway landing to create ample closet space.  Both a sitting area and the bed enjoy a new fireplace and can view the TV.  Large windows on three sides flood the bedroom with light. 

A hall bath was gutted and rearranged to allow for a spacious shower in the master suite, his and her sink vanities, and a large art-glass fronted cabinet that screens the toilet as well as providing 6 large shelves of storage. 

Custom installed art adds to the luxury of the material.  Custom work includes a stone mosaic, stained glass cabinet doors, and 2 glass sinks.
