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.

Any idea what the renovation cost of the one in the picture was? Doubt it was $3K

Not enough gold accents to go with all of that marble.
Time to “bling” it up, as they say.
(you know who they are, don’t you?)
The problem is that the place is trying too hard to be impressive. That is why, to me at least, is becomes “classy” rather than tasteful.
Great colors. A lot of marble comes off like the Venetian in Las Vegas, but this is just to my taste. Floor to ceiling marble is also really easy to keep clean; just get a windshield squeegee on a long pole, spray with vinegar/water mix, quick wipe, and you’re done. ..just have to remember to do it weekly so scum doesn’t build up.
While I think the room could do with some non stone space, it looks clean and upscale which I imagine what the owners were going for. Im sure once the finishing touches are in, it will be quite impressive.
I do love the window. Now that is a luxury in a brownstone!
It is a bathroom? what does it matter “how it fits in with the aesthetic of the rest of the house”????
Bathroom doors are generally kept closed and I imagine one next to the kitchen will definitely be kept closed.
Didn’t think I was a fan of the travertine marble, but this is really pretty and tastefully done. Although the finishes might be a little more suited to a bigger space.
A bit heavy on the marble for my taste. Looks like a mausoleum.
