4. Warm Retreat
This bath is a couples retreat designed around a love of all things
natural and the lake cabin lifestyle. Set in a lake community in
Nebraska, this bathroom offers an organic yet polished space to
unwind at the end of the day. Just as the water on the lake at sunrise
and sunset is calm, this bathroom is serene and tranquil.
A requirement for their bathroom was to have plenty of natural light
and natural materials to reflect their surroundings. The design
focuses on a comfortable and durable space was necessary as this
will be their long term residence. A few specific requirements which
were met include: two sink areas, a large jetted tub, separate shower
with several showerheads, and a separate toilet and bidet.
The large rectangular custom copper bathtub by Diamond spas
meets the clients’ needs and the natural aesthetic of the copper is a
focal point in the space. The shower is spacious and includes a
floating bench, four body sprays, two rain showerheads, and two
thermostatic showerheads. It is perfect for a peaceful yet luxurious
shower. Programmable radiant in-floor heating readily available,
adds warmth to not just the eye but to the senses.
The recycled glass countertops and the onyx vessel sinks reinforce
the color palette. Six south-west facing clerestory windows offer a
great amount of desired natural light. Blue accent lights placed on
the wall on either side of the copper bathtub add a cool glow to the
warmth of the walls and porcelain wood floor. Beige glass wall
sconces by the sink mirrors allow the light to be reflected in the
bathroom. With all functional requirements met, this bathrooms
organic yet stylish feel is due to the use of copper, brushed nickel,
blue and golden tones throughout.

14. New Roots
New Roots is a multi-cook kitchen designed for families that need a
fresh start in a safe environment. Enchanted Makeovers is looking for a
kitchen design that is supportive and inspirational for women and
their children. Plenty of storage and counter space for the occupants
of the home is an important requirement for this kitchen.
The kitchen has unique storage items such as a pull-out divider tray for
cooking sheets and muffin tins, large pots and pans pull-out, a two
tiered cutlery divider with seven sections on each tier, and sink base
cabinet with accessories such as stainless steel tilt-out trays and plastic
bag storage. A large pantry, a beverage refrigerator, and
refrigerator/freezer combination drawers adds extra space that is easy
for children to access. Stainless steel appliances give a new feeling to
the space, like the new start these women and their families are
searching for. The large main refrigerator has a water/ice dispenser,
and adjustable shelves for convenience. The induction cooktop offers
safety features for children with the burners only being hot when it
comes in contact with other metal. A lower kitchen counter seating
area was put in for morning breakfasts and homework. A wall
designated for chalk board paint entertains as well as keeps families on
schedule with day to day activities. Maple Mocha glazed Waypoint
cabinetry keeps the kitchen warm and inviting. Dark crown molding
and baseboards makes the kitchen more traditional, keeping it in style
with the original architecture of the home. White quartz countertops
keep the kitchen light. Tempered glass over fabric creates a unique
backsplash. To brighten up the room vivid green paint is used on the
wall. Cork flooring is comfortable, eco-friendly and durable. Glossy
glass backsplash tiles add extra shine to the kitchen. This kitchen’s
transitional and fun style will brighten the spirits of these families
needing new roots.
