Let Off Some Steam
HOMEOWNERS ARE TURNING THEIR BATHROOMS INTO SPALIKE ENVIRONMENTS THAT ALLOW FOR THE ULTIMATE STRESS RELIEF. BY SUZETTE LIPSCOMB / COURTESY OF LATITUDE33 MAGAZINE
We love a trend that is both aesthetically pleasing and functionally fantastic. Wet rooms that combine a shower and tub fill us with bubbly joy. Sometimes, a product filled soak calls for a quick rinse off in the shower before wrapping yourself in a plush towel. So grab a book or turn on the calming music (or both), light some essential oil candles and relax.
GLASS WALLS
Having the tub and shower nestled behind the same wall of glass keeps you cozy and clean at the same time. According to local designer Lisa McDennon of Lisa McDennon Design, “This combination of beauty and function works great for people who like to linger in the tub, keeping the area warmer than in an open plan.” Lisa McDennon Design used
Calacatta Borghini marble from Venetian Tile & Stone, a Victoria + Albert tub with a Kallista filler, mosaic tile from Waterworks and designed the octagonal pendants made by Del Mar Lighting Company for this wet room in Laguna Beach. (lisamcdennon.com)

BRING IN THE SEA
When you live in a coastal area, it’s fun to bring seaside-inspired design elements into your renovation plans. That’s exactly what the homeowners chose to do in this master bathroom remodel in Aliso Viejo by Sea Pointe Design & Remodel. From a white shiplap wall and blue cabinets to a color palette of whites, tans and grays, there’s plenty here to remind you of the sea. The spacious wet room complete with a walk-in shower and freestanding tub has a rainfall showerhead, hand-held unit, a linear drain and its own built-in shampoo

Behind the Design: A Personal Note from the Owners 2677 Solana Way, Laguna Beach
When we first encountered this home for sale, we were immediately drawn to its boundless views and western exposure, which provides breathtaking sunsets.
Our vision was to create an environment of simplicity and tranquility, with the Pacific Ocean as our backyard. This goal was not difficult to achieve.
All good design is inherently organic, and our choice of materials reflects this both inside and out. Every detail was meticulously planned to optimize space and enhance enjoyment. The expansive views, combined with ultimate privacy, define a thoughtfully designed home that is exceptionally comfortable and pleasurable regardless of the time of day or season.
