Wednesday Woodworks - Fleur de Lys Villas Fourth Bath

On deadline for the first of February, the fourth bathroom at Fleur de Lys Villa was complete!   After converting the pool house/art studio to an additional bedroom last September, we quickly realised how beneficial a fourth bathroom would be to our guests.  After gathering a few indoor/outdoor bath inspirations we quickly set to work the first week of January.  The new bath features a large terrazzo shower, louvered doors and back wall for breeze and ventilation, bright white open rafter roof and tongue and grooved side walls, and a few charming details such as below to create the cottage like ambiance.

Here are a few photos below while the bath was in progress.

Modifying the existing native stone path to curve to the new doorway.

Painted frame ready for the louver doors and panels, floor ready to be tiled.

Pebble stones collected from the beach, laid out in design for the base of the terrazzo shower.

Big thanks to the TC Millwork team for all their hard work to complete this lovely bath in a very short four weeks!  Bravo everyone!

Wednesday Woodworks - Indoor/Outdoor Bathroom Inspirations

Today we broke ground on a fourth bathroom for the Cotton Cottage at fleur de lys villa.  This was a project we had been considering for quite some time so are thrilled to put the plan into motion.  The layout will resemble the above image, a long room that will feel like a sun room; an indoor extension of the outdoors, a bright and airy space full of sunshine.

The room will feature large doors at either end that will open to already existing curved native stone paths wrapping around the cottage to the pool.

As much as we would absolutely adore a lovely tub like in the above images,

we will most likely keep it simple with a shower framed in the center of the fully louvered back wall.  Stay posted for before and after images to come!

Today tc millwork delivered fifteen beautiful mahogany doors so we are anxious to share but we must wait until installation is complete.  Instead, take a peek at some beautiful bath woodworks from around the blogosphere.  This superb built-in shows excellent craftsmanship and the windows frame it perfectly.

Love how this bath is soaked in natural light, ideal to showcase the herringbone floors.

This feminine bath features an elegant built-in vanity and ornate wardrobe.

This vintage inspired bath still feels soft and light despite the extensive chocolate hued paneling.  Love the open timber ceiling and unique sink stand.

I adore everything about this eclectic and rustic bath (except for that plain ol' toilet spoiling the fun).  Who would have guessed that all these unlikely elements (fireplace mantel, urns, stoic gold framed portrait, oriental light fixture) would have worked side by side?  Not for everyone, but that fully planked wall leading seamlessly into the ceiling is ultra labor intensive.  Bravo!

This wide plank flooring, the massive window, the folding shutters, and the entire framework within the room leading into the bath are all clean and stylish examples of  multiple woodworks coming together to create a sophisticated space.

For the modern minded, sleek and masculine.

This bath just screams island don't you think?  Perfect beach cottage breezy with the blue and white painted ceiling, the painting of a sailor (or my interpretation a such), and creative usage of the wall framework doubling as decorative shelving.

Here in the Caribbean this idea is not just a nice design, it is absolutely practical!  With the right landscaping, an outdoor scrub-n-suds can be private enough to enjoy unabashedly!

This post would not be complete without a wood tub.  All we have to say is, WOW!  What we wouldn't give to have a client request on of these . . . .
