1 3 2 5 6 4 For an elegant look, I chose the Cuzco vanity with Carrara marble accents. Finishing the vanity with a Carrara marble counter top and a hammered nickel sink creates the perfect balance between contemporary and vintage styles. A Laminam porcelain slab with a Calcutta marble look creates the perfect backdrop, adding drama to the space. 1 The Hana vessel sink sets the vintage tone for the space. The Venty faucet has subtle curves for a soft, feminine feeling and an eight inch spread brings added formality to the space. 2 Arrange a selection of handpicked wildflowers in vases for a humble décor accent! 3 To create the more rustic, masculine look I focused on natural and textural elements. I chose hammered nickel details with a honed, black granite counter top for the Cuzco vanity. The lightly polished solid granite counter is durable and simple, allowing the handcrafted concrete vessel sink to shine. The result is a decidedly artisan-crafted look that is warm and inviting! 4 The Paradox faucet contrasts against the other more textured and matte finishes in the space. When choosing your faucet, ensure that you can easily fit your hands underneath and that the water hits a spot which discourages over splashing. 5 Layering a wood mat over a terry towel allows water to be absorbed while creating an attractive border. 6 Broad-leafed tropical plants add a handsome and sculptural look to any space. 7 Designed by Evelyn Eshun, www.evelyneshun. com; Photography Leslie Goodwin, www. lesliegoodwinphotography.com; Cuzco Vanities with Counter tops and Sinks, Native Trails, www. nativetrails.net; Laminam and Wood Backdrops, Stone Tile International, www.stone-tile.com; Faucets, Riobel, www.riobel.ca; Mirrors, HomeSense, www. homesense.ca; Décor and Accessories, Crate & Barrel, www.crateandbarrel.ca Catch Evelyn Eshun on the Marc & Mandy Show.
