Bathroom Reno #3: Marble All Around

Here’s the third bathrooom renovation submission we received in response to last week’s request. It’s a 6-by-6-foot space next to the kitchen that was a total disaster when the house was purchased. The new owner did a gut renovation, creating custom cabinetry and using a mix of travertino romano and travertino niche marble across the walls and surfaces. The only pieces that are not in place yet are the frameless shower door and the brushed nickel fixtures from Restoration Hardware. It would be interesting to see how this fits in with the aesthetic of the rest of the house.

Maybe the photos don’t do it justice, but I also find it very cold and vaguely cheesy. Oy, one has to have a thick skin to submit your stuff here.
Bargain Queen here….FYI, Weisman’s on MacDonald Ave has the best prices on travertine and tumbled marble. (or had 2 years ago, anyway)
I bought my Dad a slot machine for his bday one year. It’s just sitting there collecting dust. Too bad it’s down in Florida or I might’ve had some takers here.
“Travertine tile works when it’s 400+ years old in the Italian countryside, not in your tiny house here.”
says who? you?
seems like more than half of the people here like it.
Classy!
i like it! it’s probably nice and clean and functional for the people that live there.
Sorry to pile on, but this color makes me think of all those HGTV shows about southern calif house flippers.
If you put a slot machine in the kitchen, can I come over? If history is any indication, I’ll be leaving a good bit of my money behind.
I love the color of the shower marble.

We have some marble-phobes on this blog.
Maybe missing a few marbles of their own.
Hi,
The Bathroom was done by John Bevalaqua of Square Bid Contracting, and the choice of marble was two fold.
The first, obviously ease of maintenance and mold/mildew prevention, secondly we felt the mix of colors and textures, such as using the more porous and rougher stone like the ‘scavos'(sp) used in the shower stall against the smoothness of the rest of the marble in the bathroom gave it another dimension, and a beautiful color palate, which has since been enhanced by a sealer.
The bathroom has a standard cast iron radiator, and the toilet is a biscuit colored Kohler.
Never been to Vegas, but was thinking of putting a slot machine in the kitchen tho.
