Compact Spa

I wanted this small space (8' x 8') to feel spa like, warm and cozy yet we were not allowed to change the location of any plumbing. I stole space from the front hall closet (this left a small space inset in the foyer wall for the silver leaf niche, in another picture) to put the angled sink counter. The counter is 3/4" creme mars fils marble with an ogee edge that has a curved front to soften the feel. The undermount sink is a Kohler Caxton (small). The faucets are polished nickel (also by Kohler, Finial style). The linen white (by Benjamin Moore) built-in cabinet has raised panel doors and rose shaped handles in pewter color. The tub walls are 4" x 4" tumbled marble boticcino tiles. The perimeter has a Waterworks brand ceramic molding tile that coordinates with the inset decorative frieze (also by Waterworks). I really like the tumbled soft finish with the juxtaposition of the shiny ceramic accent tile finish. In the mirror you can see we put 3 applied molding panels above the toilet to allow access to the mechanicals. In the center of the top panel is a wall sconce. This is one of the three forms of lighting. There are also overhead downlights and a makeup light at the sink area. All are on dimmers, of course:-)
