A primary bath in Ashburn was hampered by a compartmentalized footprint. Kitchen designer Joey Olson and interior designer Susan Kuehhas reconfigured the problematic space, creating a wet room and his-and-her vanities featuring storage towers and a makeup zone, respectively.

A palette of white and light wood hues conjures a spa-like feel. Crestwood cabinetry in a beech stain complements wood-look porcelain tile in the wet room, where marble-look porcelain clads the shower wall. Gold-finished Kohler fixtures add a dose of glam.

"Light wood tones and white trim make this transformation a showstopper."
Kelley Proxmire, jurist
