The New Luxury Must Have: Separate His and Her Baths

In this Winter Park home that was recently remodeled to gain a larger master bedroom, giant closets and his/her baths, the results were spectacular and they worked! Though the owners don't "talk" as much, they do very much enjoy their privacy and quiet.

Each bath has a customized vanity and storage in both tower cabinets and customized medicine cabinets, large walk-in closets, upgraded plumbing "goodies" such as an electronic toilet/bidet, body sprays, rain showers and more. Each bath has its own flat screen TV and acoustically-balanced speakers. Finishes include honey onyx and other fine marble materials.

A bath is a haven of peace. One can dress in quiet, take a relaxing bath, watch the news, and basically get ready for the day, an evening out or for bed. The master baths are still the most important areas of the house—next to the kitchen!

As you can see, the team is lean but packs a big punch. Look for the first featured, in-depth bio of a Godfrey Design team member in the November e-Newsletter.

Since the embarrassing exposure of my avoirdupois in the last issue, I am happy to say that I am down to a slender 180 pounds.

I have also been spending my days at Godfrey Design where all the girls (and the UPS man) love me and feed me constantly. This experience is very enlightening as I meet lots of people: clients, reps and others.

We're all raving about the newest textures from our fabric manufacturers, and the colors are incredible! There are so many new marble, onyx, stone and tile materials, the quarries they come from must be amazing.

Lauri, Suzette and Betsy are constantly coming up with unusual ways to put these materials together in some of the most unique design scenarios. The best part is it sure feels cool to lay on some of these lovely stones… especially on a hot and sticky day.

That's all for now. I'll be back next month. Boof!!
