“ Sandra even went into my closet to view my wardrobe for inspiration, which I thought was weird, but once she explained her thought process, I realized it was a brilliant idea to get to know my preferences.” Cheryl, Homeowner Space Designed by Sandra Nash, Making a Scene, www.making-a-scene. com; Mirrors, Uttermost, www.uttermost. com; Metal Flowers, Bowrings, www. bowring.com; Drapery Fabric, Alendel, www.alendel.com; Mattress, Sealy, www. sealycanada.com; Art, Leftbank Art, www.leftbankart.com; Bench, Korson Furniture, www.korsonfurniture.com; Chaise Lounge, Korson Furniture, www. korsonfurniture.com; Carpet, Surya Rugs, www.surya.com; Custom Window Coverings, Pillows and Throws, Making A Scene, www.making-a-scene.com; Light Fixtures, The Lighting Center, www.lightcentre.ca; Bedding, Eastern Accents, www.easternaccents.com; Heated Floor in Bathroom, Nuheat, www.nuheat.com bathrooms have many trades involved. Make sure your designer can give a clear time table of when things are to be completed.” A study of lightness and brightness, the ensuite bathroom uses modernized Victorian motifs in the metal furniture’s curlicues, grommeted drapery panels, as well as the shower and bathtub fixtures. Creative contrasts enhance the white room’s personality. Sandra’s use of crystal finials on the curtain rods, cow hides on the Calacatta marble floor and chandeliers add whimsy. “A chandelier in the bathroom and toilet room adds an elegant and romantic feel to a space so integral to unwinding, especially while bathing, as the first thing you do in a tub is look up,” Sandra observes. The ceiling, painted the same grey as the bedroom, provides continuity throughout the rooms. “Don’t forget your fifth wall…the ceiling,” Sandra advises. “Sandra gave us exactly what we were looking for. My breath was taken away and I cried when she made the reveal. All our expectations were exceeded. We NEVER imagined it could be this spectacular.” 114 CanadianHomeTrends.com
