Lahaska Pool House Remodel
DESIGN CONCEPT
The homeowner wanted to completely renovate her poolside guest house to give it a “coastal flare.” The cool tones and organic materials used turned the pool house into a chic yet cozy space that is perfect for entertaining and hosting guests.
ORIGINAL FLOOR PLAN
The original floor plan included two outside entryways facing away from the pool, which limited access and flow. In addition, water damage to the subfloor in the guest bedroom area of the pool house caused it to rot and need replacing.NEW FLOOR PLAN
To open up the space, we added French doors and a patio leading to the pool, giving the space another entry point. We replaced the subflooring in the guest bedroom and added a modern, wood-burning fireplace to provide ambiance and heat for cooler months.
FINISHES
To create the modern coastal feel, we focused on cool tones and organic materials. This meant lots of blues, whites, and silvers. This came in the form of the arabesque backsplash in the kitchen as well as base cabinetry with built-in blue appliances to match. White tones are featured throughout the house in the modern luxurious wood-burning fireplace and the reclaimed wooded doors to the guest bedroom and entryway. The brushed nickel and acrylic hardware as well as the kitchen and bathroom faucets bring that silver tone to the space, completing their desired coastal color palette.
CABINETS
The shower wall tile is a white subway tile that adds a classic element to the thoroughly modern space. To add contrast, the shower floor tile is a modern Bianco Orion Hexagonal polished marble mosaic. The kitchen backsplash incorporates shades of blue arabesque tile. To complement the blues, the cabinetry is beautiful Calacata Botanica which features blue veining that reinforces the coastal color palette.
TILE & STONE
This kitchen features MSI quartz countertops in the color Calcatta Botanica around the sink, the range, and the backsplash behind the range. The quartz countertops on the new island are from MSI in the color Blanco Arabescato. The coloration in this quartz complements the blue color palette of the island without feeling out of place.
