We did a bit of measuring to figure out the ideal size of an open entryway that would allow comfortable entry into the shower while still keeping the space enclosed enough to not have water splatter everywhere. This seems to be how most plaster showers are designed, but if you’re terrified of the occasional draft, don’t fear, I’ve seen a few folks add a glass door. Given that we didn’t want to have glass in this space, we knew we’d be doing a walk-in shower with no door. It’s unexpected, it’s weird, and in this space we felt the lovely texture of the plaster would work well with all of the other natural textures going on.Īnd then we had to decide on the actual shape of the shower. It was something to add a bit of whimsy and inspiration and magic. It was an immediate “dear god, yes!!!” Pink plaster was now the direction. When we started looking at Color Atelier’s color options for shower plaster, the first thing that jumped out at us was their rosé-colored plaster. So we had the earthy element locked down real good.īut we needed something eccentric. The result is a space that feels like a grown-up treehouse, cause it’s literally nestled by an oak tree canopy. We had decided on a bright white paint for exactly this reason-we wanted to make sure all of those elements were highlighted at their fullest potential. The bright natural light and big windows, combined with the original hardwood floors and exposed brick made for a space that was so earthy and full of texture. The whole idea for the bedroom suite was to be earthy and eccentric. You may remember that we used their “Velvet Noir” limewash for our stone coffee table DIY! They carry tadelakt plaster, which is a water-safe plaster that has been used in Morocco for literally thousands of years in wet spaces like public baths and, now, residential bathrooms.Ĭolor Atelier has got several color options for shower plaster, and, well, this is where I’ll dive into how we decided on the shower design. We took to the internet to find out who the hell would supply us with this sweet sweet shower material.Īnd that’s when we came across Color Atelier, a San Francisco-based plaster and limewash store. Pinterest is kind of full of them, actually! We screamed in delight, did a high-five and a twirl, and decided this material would be the perfect solution to our no-tile-no-glass shower conundrum-after all, the brick fireplace that we exposed during the demo already had plaster patching it, so it kind of felt like a natural fit for the space. So we did some online sleuthing and found that yessss, plaster showers are an actual thing that real living people do in their own actual homes. We’d always thought they were cool but never really considered them as something you’d do in a home. ![]() We got to thinking and remembered a couple of hotels we’ve stayed in that had what appeared to be a concrete shower (hint: it was plaster). That’s no insult to tile and glass-we just felt they’d feel somewhat sterile in a space that was also technically part of a bedroom. In order to make this space feel like one large ~loungey~ suite, we wanted to stay away from more traditional bathroom materials like tile and glass. The idea was to have the two spaces (“bedroom” and “bathroom”) be mostly divided by the chimney that was already there and our walk-in closet build out, but open to each other through a pathway by our clawfoot tub. In our twisted little minds, it feels very luxe, and dare I say, sexy? Scandal! It’s a setup that is absolutely not for everyone, but it’s exactly what we wanted. When we started designing our bedroom suite-which was a full gut renovation-we landed on the idea of an “open concept” suite that would transform two bedrooms into one large bedroom / bath combo. If you’ve been following our home renovation process on Instagram, you probably know we like to do some quirky stuff. ![]()
