Keith Baltimore of the Baltimore
Design Group redesigned and
reconfigured the bathroom located in
this Brookville home that he described
as “1990s lackluster” and transformed
it into a glamorous abode with a more
modern aesthetic.
“It was a total gut,” he says. “The
bathroom needed to be renovated.
It was not chic. There was no vibe
whatsoever.”
Baltimore used big walls of glass, tiles,
white lacquer, mirrors, crystal and
lighting with an ambiance that made
this bath “au courant.”
“I designed the shower with
glass embedded in the walls.
This gives one the feeling of a
decadent sense of space. The stone
in the bathroom is Bardiglio stone
which harkens back to tradition. The
glass walls give the bath a more
contemporary modern edge.”
“The tiles on the
floor are a marble
mosaic. It looks almost
like a silvery shimmer. I
chose the smaller tiles so it
is not slippery and your
foot can grab it.”
“Because the house
is traditional I chose
traditional cabinets with
polished nickel hardware,
which is a richer patina
then chrome.”
“I took the
traditional concept of
long panels like molding
work and used mirrors to
add grandeur. The mirrors
are bordered and molded
into the stone.”
“The wallpaper is a
silver mylar color and
traditional trellis pattern.
It personifies the uses of a
traditional bathroom set in
a modern tone.”
“I raised the
ceiling two inches
going from nine feet to
eleven feet. This gives the
room a certain amount
of openness and
opulence.”
“I put in a
coffered ceiling to
accommodate a chandelier
that was formerly a skylight.
The chandelier looks like hanging
diamond earrings, and when
there is movement, it is the
sound of the clink of a
champagne glass.”
“I used every
inch of the space. The
cabinets that feature a double
sink has a his and her areas. The
higher cabinet opens to the left (for
him), and the lower cabinet opens
to the right (for her). Each cabinet
has adjustable shelves and is
wider than a normal medicine
cabinet to store toiletries.”
