DESIGNED FOR LIVING — Cont’d from page 27
Herringbone patterns on the mudroom’s black barn-style door and on the feature wall over the staircase are repeated in smaller details at the front of the house — in the family bath and mudroom flooring, and in a niche built in to the en suite shower. By the way, that en suite ticks every box, from its floating double vanity and white built-in wall cabinet — it’s almost the twin of the display cabinet at the coffee bar — to the glass-enclosed shower with its gold rainfall showerhead and a practical hand- held wand. Its built-in nook is like a small piece of art, with sheets of small-scale subway tile — in a herringbone pattern — and a slim gold frame. The fact that it does not have a bathtub is very on-trend today. Even people who sell stand-alone tubs have been telling us for years that they’re just for show.
DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE ISLAND, A COFFEE BAR IS TUCKED INTO A CORNER NICHE, WITH A MINI- SINK, PORCELAIN COUNTERTOP AND MAPLE CABINETRY.
