An overabundance of tan and brown finishes and a large built-in tub made for a drab and heavy look in Michael and Yoshie Davison’s primary bathroom. Yearning for a light and airy feel with a fresh style, they turned to designer Shelley Vilov and project manager David Jordan, both of whom had helped the couple update another bathroom in their home.
The remodeling team replaced the built-in tub with a freestanding model that helped loosen up the layout and allow for a bigger shower. White marble-look porcelain tiles cover the floor and the walls wrapping the shower and tub area, creating a brighter look. Pale gray walls also brighten the space, while midtone gray vanities and chrome fixtures and details add touches of fresh, modern style.

This is an “upside-down” house, meaning the bedrooms are on the ground floor, and the living room opens onto the deck. The deck also can be viewed from the kitchen, as the floor plan is open. It’s easy for the homeowners to pour themselves a cup of coffee in the morning and then enjoy it outside among the tree canopies.
