Before: A bulky built-in tub dominated the space.
“The entire bathroom was in desperate need of updating,” she recounts. “The owners wanted a calm space where they could relax and unwind.”
Working with Mike Thiede of Bethesda Contracting, McParland devised a plan that expanded the opening of the tub area, making the room feel larger. The bulky built-in tub was replaced by a freestanding Jacuzzi soaking tub, and a cramped shower stall made way for a spacious enclosure clad in white tile. A dark-stained wood double vanity is topped with a quartz counter and illuminated by sconces from Circa Lighting.
McParland combined large-format porcelain tiles with a waterjet marble mosaic-tile “rug” found at Architessa. An Uttermost canvas discovered by the clients provides a harmonious focal point above the tub, marrying the gray of the floor, the cream of Benjamin Moore’s Sail Cloth on the walls and the gold of the light fixtures.
Says McParland, “The art pulls everything together with a classic, timeless feel.”
