One of the areas we concentrated on was the master bedroom, master bath and closet areas so we could get some sense of "livability" to the renovation. The closets<\/a> were finished some time ago, but we just polished off the master bath vanity area.<\/p>\n

For counter-tops, we went with Silestone’s Blanco Maple which looks a bit like old-school terrazzo and has a nice, subtle, neutral presence. We also went with the thinner 2cm material as the 3cm was simply too thick. Trouble is, finding someone to do just a bath (and use the 2cm material) was a bit of a task. We finally found Tim at Affordable Silestone<\/a> and his crew did a great job. It was a bit disconcerting that the sink hole was not cut on a CNC machine, giving it perfect symmetry, but the guys did an amazingly good job with simple hand tools while on site. You can tell it’s hand-cut in some spots, but the more I look around at other granite and stone jobs, the more I notice that most counter-tops are not machine-perfect… some are even downright sloppy, so we’re feeling lucky.<\/p>\n

All of our faucets and sinks came from the Bath and Beyond<\/a> in Potrero Hill (thanks, Frank) and we ordered Marc Newson designed faucets from Porcher which have a nice, simple look and feel and Duravit sinks and toilets. We liked the sink in our old place<\/a> so much, we got a duplicate for the hall bath (the next project). Lighting is from Ron Rezek, courtsey of Artemide<\/a> (as always… thanks, Michelle!)<\/p>\n

The cabinet came from Ikea (a 30in high \/ 24in deep kitchen cabinet base) and uses their Nexus Yellow-Brown doors — the same doors we plan on using in the kitchen if we get to it before they’re discontinued. They’re made of oak veneer stained to a warm, dark, honey color that’s very kind on the eyes when next to the original (in this case completely recreated) luan-mahogany doors and door frames.<\/p>\n

In the toilet\/shower area, the swing door was simply in the way when… well, using the bathroom, so while we had the wall open,<\/a> Dan and I installed a pocket door that’s working out quite well. Because of some plumbing reconfiguring I had to do, I needed to bump out the wall a few inches behind the vanity sink which gave us the perfect opportunity to add a shelf behind the basin which is quite handy (and uses the depth of the space to greater advantage than a more shallow vanity would.<\/p>\n

Now we have no excuse not to brush our teeth before bedtime.<\/p>\n
