Say goodbye to the dull and uninviting atmosphere and hello to a space that truly reflects the beauty of the PNW and the functionality of a new clubhouse for current and future renters alike.

With this comes interiors that are designed with builder basic selections that do not always focus on client’s needs, desires, and functionality.  The main objectives for the updated bathroom design are to expand the functionality by introducing Universal Design principals, create a space that stays true to the home’s timeless style, layout proper lighting, and allow for future flexibility as aging occurs.

Mid-Century Modern Aesthetic

For this project, the homeowners needed a few bathrooms in their home updated. During our conversation, it was made clear the importance of preserving the mid-century modern identity they fell in love with when they purchased the home while introducing layout changes and modern updates in order for the bathrooms to meet the needs of today. I hope you enjoy the blend that was created in this home.

Modernizing this bathroom while keeping Mid-Century character was important for this homeowner. We decided to keep the vaulted wood ceiling and refinish it to make it feel new again. By adding a modern floating walnut vanity with under cabinet lighting, we elevated the space for the modern needs of today’s homeowners.

One feature of this house that I knew we had to keep was the original floor to ceiling stone fireplaces. I used this as the inspiration for the floor to ceiling modern tiles on the back wall of the shower. The homeowners and I loved how this design language transcended the decades of time between both designs.

exposed beams and tile wall

We took out the old enclosed shower to expose the vaulted ceiling. It created a grand and airy vibe fro the bathroom. We then decided to wrap the shower in glass to allow natural light to pour in with a beautiful tree-top view.

The half wall was kept for a few reasons. One was for a little separation from the toilet and the shower and the other, more important reason, was to have a place to put a toilet paper holder.

hanging black lighting over vanity

The previous bathroom layout did not have a door from the bedroom into the bathroom. Instead, you entered through a set of doors that led into the closet. We ended up taking the original closet doors and moving them three feet to the side to provide a more functional entrance. The decisions meant sacrificing five inches of cabinet space. Well worth it.

In order to have the illusion of a larger vanity, we decided to place a walnut framed oversized single mirror above the sinks. This large mirror helps reflect the natural lite around the room. Above the mirror we places three milk glass orb pendants for design style and task lighting.

When walking into this bathroom through the new doors, you are greeted with wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling stone tiles. This is the wow moment. By taking the tiles across the entire wall and up to the ceiling, this bathroom feels wider and taller. This was an important accomplishment since we could not change the size of the room.

We used angled charcoal tile set in a 50% offset patter to achieve this unique patter on the floor. The subtle details set this design apart from the rest. By layering in a traditional oriental rug, we were able to play with that mid-century homeyness of the time.

When we removed the old shower enclosure, the vaulted ceiling we exposed needed a good sanding and a fresh finish to bring it back to it’s original glory.

Outside of the bedroom we added a new entry light fixture to provide some much-needed illumination and statement as gusts walk in.

The second bathroom in the house we updated was the powder bath. Before there was a small enclosed shower. bulkheads, and no lighting. We expanded the shower, took out the drop ceiling, and brightened the space with white tiles and bright lights.

We took out the old linoleum floors and replaced them with a terrazzo tile to stay true to that mid-century aesthetic. To crown the space, we decided to put an architectural light fixture in the corner. I love the touch of uniqueness and out-of-the-box style.

We embraced the asymmetrical design of this mid-century modern walnut vanity with vessel sink. The shaped mirror connects with the unique frosted glass shade of the artistic light fixture.

Southwest Hills Residence

When a perspective client has a home in the Southwest Hills of Portland with breathtaking views overlooking a valley of treetops, it only made sense to take full advantage of those views. Our bold vision to add 150% more outdoor decking three stories up won over the client’s imagination and excited me to take on the challenges that come with a project of this scale. In addition to transforming the outside of this home, we were able to connect the indoor spaces by layering in beautiful organic textures, colors, and patterns throughout. Teaming up with fantastic contractors, artists, and trades, allowed this project to blossom into a bold and comfortable modern Northwest family home.

Out-of-This-World Fun: Designing a Space-Themed Kids Bedroom

Embark on a cosmic adventure with your little one by transforming their bedroom into a space-themed wonderland. A space-themed kids' bedroom is not only visually appealing but also sparks imagination and curiosity. In this blog post, we'll guide you through creating a stellar space-inspired haven for your child.

  • Celestial Colors: Start by choosing a color palette that reflects the vastness of outer space. Deep blues, purples, and blacks can create a cosmic backdrop. Add pops of silver or gold for a touch of starlight. Consider using glow-in-the-dark paint for an extra magical touch that will transport your child to a galaxy far, far away when the lights go out.

  • Wall Murals: Set the stage for an intergalactic journey with a captivating wall mural. Options abound, from realistic depictions of planets and galaxies to whimsical cartoon-style space scenes. You could even opt for a mural that includes your child's name among the stars, making them feel like a space explorer with a personalized touch.

  • Celestial Accessories: Enhance the space theme with celestial accessories. Hang glow-in-the-dark stars from the ceiling, place planet-shaped pillows on the bed, and use astronaut and rocket-themed decor. Consider incorporating a constellation night light to add a soothing and educational element to the room.

  • Spaceship Bed: Transform bedtime into a cosmic voyage with a spaceship-themed bed. Many furniture stores offer spaceship-shaped beds that not only serve as a comfortable sleeping space but also act as a focal point for the room. To complete the look, add space-themed bedding featuring rockets, planets, and astronauts.

  • DIY Planetary Mobiles: Get creative with a fun and educational DIY project. Create a planetary mobile by crafting miniature planets out of lightweight materials and hanging them from the ceiling. This not only adds a playful element to the room but also helps your child learn about the solar system in an engaging way.

  • Space-Themed Storage: Keep the room organized with space-themed storage solutions. Consider using bins shaped like rockets or planets for toys, and use star-shaped hooks to hang bags, hats, or clothing. Practical storage can seamlessly blend with the overall theme of the room.

  • Interactive Learning Spaces: Incorporate educational elements into the room to encourage learning through play. Use a chalkboard or magnetic board to create a space for drawing planets or writing messages. Include space-themed books and educational posters to stimulate your child's curiosity about the universe.

Conclusion: Designing a space-themed kids' bedroom is an exciting opportunity to foster creativity and ignite a passion for exploration. By combining celestial colors, captivating murals, and thematic accessories, you can create a bedroom that transports your child to the far reaches of the cosmos every night. Watch as their imagination takes flight and their love for learning about space reaches new heights in this out-of-this-world sanctuary.
