Going bold: A mid-mod primary bath

Wendy Fennell transforms a dated primary bath into a mid-mod masterpiece.

Interior designer Wendy Fennell was up against the clock when renovating the primary bathroom for a busy family of four.

“We were on a tight schedule as they had a new baby on the way that was coinciding with the bathroom being completed,” says Fennell, owner of Bohemian Bungalow Design.

The Matthews homeowners were seeking a clean, modern vibe in the outdated space. Fennell answered with custom cherry reeded cabinets, terrazzo flooring and a textured backsplash featuring tile by Jonathan Adler.

“Black-and-white tile combos in baths always look great with everything,” says Fennell, who completed the design — just in time — with a pair of oval mirrors, pops of brass and gemstone cabinet pulls from Modern Matter.  SP

Fennell doubled down on the black-and-white theme in the shower, with a vertical wall tile, black hardware and floor tile, and a frameless glass door.
