Peaceful, Zen-Inspired Ensuite Bathroom in an Etobicoke Home

Award-Winning Bathroom Design (1st Place) by Gary Potter, CKD, CBD. Featured in Better Homes & Gardens, September/October 2008 Edition. These homeowners were tired of sharing a main bathroom with their two children and decided to renovate their home by adding a second floor to their 1950's Etobicoke bungalow. This allowed them to carve out a space for an ensuite bathroom. The influence for this spa-like bathroom was inspired by a trip the homeowners recently returned from, where they celebrated an anniversary at a luxurious resort in Bali. The natural elements and tones in this space, such as the cherry cabinetry, the river rock that flows from the shower to the vanity, the earthy granite countertop and threshold and natural light emitted from the skylight overhead all contribute to a feeling of serenity and relaxation.
