39 FALL 2014 | bcliving.ca home e Bathrooms DESIgn REDUX Walnut millwork, once again, is used in both bathrooms. Glass mosaic tiles that include hues of greens, coppers and browns wrap the powder- room wall. The pendants lend an unexpected hit of gold glam. Functionality rules with a slim slide- out cabinet and seating area tucked between the two sinks. In Detail "It's the details," says McKay, about the design of the home, which was completely in fl ux when she was hired. She settled on a neutral palette for both the interior and exterior of the home so the key was to create visual interest by providing contrast with colour and texture. SHADES OF gREY The grey-washed wood fl oors that McKay used throughout the home provide contrast to the warm walnut. The fi replace facade is a mixture of one-inch cube bluestone and porcelain "wood" tile below the hearth. WRAPPED In WOOD The homeowner's walnut kitchen features gorgeous grain that draws the eye upwards to the high ceilings. A writing desk is incorporated into the design of the kitchen's built-in cabinetry. It's a functional way to break up the wall of wood. TEXTURED TILE In the main bathroom shower, McKay used the same colour of limestone tiles in two diff erent textures. The 12-X-12-inch limestone is fl at; the other is a relief mosaic. It's a smart way to keep colour continuity while adding visual interest. 1 3 2
