BATHROOM

AGING-IN-PLACE BENEFITS

Along with the improvements to functionality,
Haddad incorporated a variety of aging-in-place
elements into the kitchen design. The layers of
lighting are dimmable, which offers control and
ambiance now and can be used at full strength
later for increased visibility. He selected a leverhandle faucet, which will remain easy to operate,
as will the D-shaped cabinet pulls. Aisles in the
workspace are wide enough for wheelchair accessibility, and the quartz countertop is non-glare.
"From a universal design [standpoint], when
people are getting older, the glare can be distracting," said Haddad. Using a more matte finish
causes less reflection and makes it easier to see
items on the countertop.

with red oak-stained 3.5-in. hardwoods to coordinate with the rest of the
house. White, eco-friendly custom cabinetry provides a traditional backdrop
for the eye-catching blues.
MASTER BATH REDUX

Once the kitchen renovation was complete, the clients decided they wanted
a streamlined, functional and visually pleasing update to their awkwardly laid
out master bathroom as well. A mostly unused garden tub took up much of
the floor space, the shower was undersized, and the toilet was wedged into the
corner next to a double vanity.The bathroom needed to remain within the existing footprint, and the homeowners preferred not to move any of the plumbing.

GETTING THE BLUES

What was once an awkward, limiting kitchen, the
room is now a beautiful entertaining space with
high-end appliances, plenty of storage and room
for doing homework. The large island provides
significant interest thanks to its Benjamin Moore
Van Deusen Blue base.
"The client loves blue, and we suggested using it
on the island to create a focal point,"said Haddad.
The same color was carried through to the inside of the hutch at the end of the island. The existing bookcase near the banquette was trimmed
with the same crown molding as the new built-in
hutch to make the two appear as if they were installed at the same time.
A penny tile backsplash subtly picks up the blue
of the island with natural stone in azul, cream and
white. Tile flooring in the kitchen was replaced
