PROBLEMS:  Tualatin homeowners were tired of the all-white bathroom with polished-brass fixtures and accessories and carpeting,  popular with builders in the late 1980s to the mid-1990s.

CREATIVE SOLUTIONS: The French country master bathroom retreat was inspired by the Homeowners’ vacation in Provence. Their remodeled bathroom has a warm color palette, with a romantic corner pedestal tub, custom walnut "furniture" lavatories. It also has oiled-bronze plumbing, a two-person steam shower and a private toilet room. Their new bathroom features three different (coordinating) stones, including slabs on the floor that have fossil skeletons.  The homeowners love their new bathroom! It has the romantic French-countryside look and feel they desired.
This bathroom won a national award for design excellence.
