REMODEL Spotlight: Master Suites

The original master suite in this brick beauty was cramped, with a modest-sized bedroom and bathroom. The owners wanted to expand the space so it would be suitable for guest quarters. So, Finial Builders created a two-story addition atop a new three-car garage. The project is particularly notable for its details and finishes. In the bedroom, a trio of complementary paint colors on the coffered ceiling, combined with recessed lighting, gives the space warmth while a seamless transition to the bathroom is accomplished with an extra-wide door opening. Concealed pocket doors can be pulled for privacy. Finial finished the bathroom with his-and-hers walk-in closets, a soaking tub, a multi-spray shower, dual Kohler sinks and an additional vanity space, making it a true sanctuary.

OCEANIC INSPIRATIONS

This Ponte Vedra home, located just a few blocks from the beach, was lacking in bedroom and storage space. As part of a larger remodel, the team at Tom Trout created a spacious master suite addition, cleverly converting part of the old master bedroom into closet space for the new master bedroom. The addition was placed over a new garage, creating a symmetrical extension of the existing two-story home. One of most inviting aspects of the new space is the wraparound porch, connected to the master bedroom via French doors. Nantucket Beadboard tongue-in-groove walls and ceilings adorn the entire suite, with a vaulted ceiling mirrored in both the bedroom and the bathroom. Porthole-inspired square windows and light-colored hardwood floors evoke a nautical feel. The remodeler also used wainscoting and crown molding for more finished transitional detailing. The end result gave the homeowners the open, light-filled space they wanted while carrying forth the home’s coastal theme.
