HOME SPA
BEFORE
A home with builder-grade finishes
included a master bath that was
spacious but poorly designed and
mundane in appearance. The owner
tapped Davida Rodriguez of Davida’s
Kitchen & Tiles to give her a spa
bath with an organic, Zen-like vibe.
THEN
NOW
A drywall linen closet and
enclosed W.C. took up space
without offering efficient room
for storage.
The W.C. was eliminated and
the toilet partially concealed
by a floating wall clad in flat
pebbles. The linen closet was
replaced by a built-in cabinet
with hamper and drawers.
The owner wished for more
surface space than the double
vanity allowed.
A single-sink vanity provides
surface area; cherry cabinetry
matches the nearby cabinet.
The standard acrylic shower
pan and tub and nondescript
flooring made the room boring.
Flat pebble flooring conveys
an organic look; the non-skid
surface eliminates the need for
bathmats.
Dull, white tiles imparted no
personality or style.
Wood-like porcelain tiles add
warmth and interest to the
room.
