Interior designer, Peggy Fuller's client, an oft-traveling female executive working long hours, was in need of a feminine space where she could shed her executive hat and "just be." But the designer and client couldn't go all out frills - the master suite was not just about the "her," it was necessary that her husband be comfortable in the space as well.
Fuller selected natural elements such as limestone for the floor and the surround, iron, and wood for a raw masculine presence. The feminine comes out in the details: intricate carving on the wood vanity, the scrollwork of the mirrors, crystals on the metal chandelier and matching sconces, the textile look of the wallcovering, and of course, the clawfoot tub.
The monochromatic color scheme of buttery cream expands the space without requiring a change of basic layout. A floor-to-ceiling mirrored wall and seamless glass shower completes the look of infinity. A mosaic insert with touches of green, one of the few pops of color, mimics the look of a rug.
