Who doesn't long for a spa day with the girls? I was recently so excited to meet the gal pals for a "play date" at the spa, only to be reminded how much work it can be to relax!

I got out of the house late and landed in bad traffic. I found myself frustrated, honking and yelling at my fellow commuters "HURRY...I'M LATE TO RELAX!" I dug deep and used the child birth breathing techniques but to no avail, I could feel the stress-o-meter rising. I was tempted to jump into the carpool lane in hopes that if I was stopped the officer would support my desperate desire to chill and provide me a police escort instead of serving up a ticket for double what the massage costs.

#1 VOTED FAVORITE BATH ON BATHtastic DESIGNED BY KELLI KAUFER - ME

The homeowners, Suzie and Mike requested a earthy, calming bath retreat and it was far from it!  They had it in their budget to make a big splash and I think I succeeded...  follow along

When you first walk into the space you see that huge wall.  It was a eye sore in the before photos, I knew that was to be the focal point and it needed a WOW factor.

I looked for tile to put on the back wall, I found this stone at http://www.norstoneusa.com/stacked_stone_rock_panel_ochre.asp   I liked the color and loved the texture.  It was easy to install & no grout!  I continued the stone on the back lower half of the wall & in the recessed wall of the vanity.  Continuing the stone in other areas of the room gave it a high end custom look.

The vanity looked worn and a bit tired so we gave it an inexpensive facelift.  Sanding it lightly and adding a dark gel stain, gave it a whole new look.  A darker tile replaced the dated sculpture stone top.

You can watch this episode along with other bathrooms I have designed on DIY Network BATHtastic!

LAMINATE FLOORS HAVE COME A LONG WAY

Matt and Mike, installing new laminate flooring!  I chose this particular color because of the darker stone on the walls.  This is a lower level bathroom and I wanted to lighten up the space a bit. 

Boy, laminate has come a long way!  looks like real wood and so easy to install!

WALL WATER FEATURE

Mike and Suzie wanted a soothing, relaxing room and asked for a water feature.  I found this contemporary sleek wall water fountain, when it is off, it looks like a plain mirror.  The frameless fountain is nondistracting against the stone wall.
