PLAN 3 / VANITY SPACE
(window locations do not correspond to plans)
- double vanity with stone top and backsplash - mirrors are framed by moldings as are two of clients' vintage windows - wall sconces on left and right sides of mirrors - crown and base moldings carry through bath and closet as determined from existing bedroom moldings -
- double vanity with stone top - single mirror framed by moldings - one of clients' vintage windows is framed above mirror, with two new, operational windows on either side - double wall sconce in center of the mirror - crown and base moldings carry through bath and closet as determined from existing bedroom moldings -
additional notes:
- walls between bedroom space and bathroom/closet space to be insulated with sound attenuating insulation - use of glass walls for shower allows for larger open space within the bathroom; increases perceived square footage - shower seat is included in each of these drawings - overall goal of greater perceived light and square footage within a small area is best attained in Plan 3 -
