1. 0:00Have you ever felt torn between two
2. 0:02design styles? Unsure of which one you
3. 0:05would like to commit to for your room?
4. 0:07It happens to a lot of us, and it
5. 0:09happens often. Today, I'm going to show
6. 0:11you that you don't always need to choose
7. 0:14one extreme over the other. That if you
8. 0:16can find a way to bring the highlights
9. 0:19of each together in a sort of matrimony,
10. 0:22then you may find yourself with
11. 0:24something quite unique and impressive.

19. 0:40the description below. Let's look at the
20. 0:43computer together, and you'll be able to
21. 0:45see what I see. These are the original
22. 0:48photos of a bathroom which Doug reached
23. 0:50out to me to have redesigned. This area
24. 0:53has not changed since he purchased the
25. 0:55home. He wanted to accomplish two things
26. 0:58in this redesign. Having a space that
27. 1:00felt more personalized to him. And as he
28. 1:02looks towards the future, creating a
29. 1:04space that would be unique and appealing
30. 1:06to buyers if and when he decides to sell
31. 1:10in a few years. If you pay close
32. 1:12attention, you'll notice that those
33. 1:14specific two desires can lead you into a
34. 1:18bit of a conundrum. Overly personalized
35. 1:20spaces, although wonderful for the
36. 1:22person who styled them, they can become
37. 1:24ostracizing when attempting to advertise
38. 1:27the home on the open market. We needed
39. 1:29to find a way to hone his style into an
40. 1:32image which anyone could appreciate
41. 1:35walking into. Doug has many interests,
42. 1:38likes, appreciations, and hobbies, which
43. 1:40we discussed a lot of them. And although
44. 1:42we may be able to incorporate most or
45. 1:44all of those into a full home styling,
46. 1:47the bathroom alone is simply not large
47. 1:50enough to support all of them. So after
48. 1:53speaking to him, we narrowed it down to
49. 1:54these ideas becoming the pillars of the
50. 1:58design. The first one was at its
51. 2:00foundation industrial styling. To add
52. 2:03sophistication, class, and pop culture,
53. 2:05we wanted this bathroom to resemble
54. 2:07something you might find in the
55. 2:09Continental Hotel of the John Wick
56. 2:12movies with Kiana Reeves. And finally,
57. 2:14to personalize the space, incorporating
58. 2:16art with origins in Renaissance,
59. 2:19medieval times, or
60. 2:21mythology. Here is what we came up
61. 2:24with. I was so happy with the way that
62. 2:27this turned out, and it was quite fun to
63. 2:29create. It wasn't straightforward. It
64. 2:31was a process of evolution, a chess
65. 2:34match of moving styles and their
66. 2:36presence in order to find the right
67. 2:38blend for this design. It was much like
68. 2:40discovering the correct recipe for a
69. 2:42meal. Too much or too little of any one
70. 2:46thing could ruin the entirety of it. The
71. 2:49main living space of the home as well as
72. 2:51the building is is located in um that
73. 2:54the condo this is a condo unit which it
74. 2:55is located in has a lot of exposed
75. 2:57brick. However, this bathroom had none.
76. 3:01By bringing in a faux brick shower tile,
77. 3:04we were able to kill two birds with one
78. 3:05stone, accomplishing the industrial base
79. 3:08to the design scheme we wanted while
80. 3:11infusing elements that are located
81. 3:13outside of the bathroom. Roughly 9
82. 3:16months ago, I published a video on
83. 3:18YouTube about creating retro bathrooms.
84. 3:20Essentially, this was a play on 1950s
85. 3:24bathrooms and reinventing them to have a
86. 3:26more chic look. That's where the
87. 3:28flooring in this bathroom comes from.
88. 3:30It's a pattern and a style which
89. 3:32provides a vintage feel. Taking notes
90. 3:34from the past just as an art buff would
91. 3:37appreciate. It also did a great job of
92. 3:40balancing the room since we used dark
93. 3:42and bold color scheme at eye level. We
94. 3:45had both white on the flooring as well
95. 3:47as the ceiling to balance that out. A
96. 3:50small but what I would consider
97. 3:52impactful change is that we switched the
98. 3:55toilet seat from white to black. You
99. 3:58wouldn't think this would matter much,
100. 3:59but when you look at the photos side by
101. 4:01side, you realize that this
102. 4:03inconspicuous item carries a powerful
103. 4:06punch in the design. Storage can be
104. 4:09quite difficult in small bathrooms, and
105. 4:11oftentimes people wind up spreading
106. 4:14their toiletries all over the counter
107. 4:16and open shelving, displaying nothing
108. 4:19but disarray. So, we included a tall
109. 4:22black shelving unit as the resolve for
110. 4:24this issue. Not only does it have the
111. 4:26capacity to carry a lot, the black color
112. 4:29allows it to fade into the background
113. 4:31without feeling so obtrusive in the
114. 4:35space that it takes up. The metal
115. 4:37toiletry stand that you see uh to the
116. 4:40left of the vanity goes back to our
117. 4:42industrial base. It's perfect uh as a
118. 4:45complement to the brick tile that we put
119. 4:47in the shower. The floating vanity
120. 4:50paired with the LED mirror was to bring
121. 4:51the modern and elegant feel into the
122. 4:54bathroom. We didn't want to go too far
123. 4:56in the direction of vintage or
124. 4:59industrial. So, this assists in the
125. 5:02balance of styles and the overall look
126. 5:05to the room. Originally, the vanity in
127. 5:07the bathroom was not tall enough. It
128. 5:09resulted what that results in is a
129. 5:12person having to bend over their sink
130. 5:15and reach their hands into the into the
131. 5:19water at an awkward angle. Inevitably,
132. 5:22this leads to splashing water all over
133. 5:24the counter surface, and Doug was having
134. 5:26an issue with that. It's a small
135. 5:29annoyance, but when it persistently
136. 5:31occurs, it can carry the nuisance of
137. 5:34anat. So, we decided to go with a vessel
138. 5:37sink, which is the term for a sink uh
139. 5:40that sits above the countertop. Problem
140. 5:43solved. Of course, we cannot ignore the
141. 5:46largest and most prominent statement
142. 5:48piece that was placed in the bathroom. I
143. 5:51was able to find a painting that I felt
144. 5:53wonderfully blended mythology and
145. 5:56romanticism. We were able to take this
146. 5:59and convert it into a wallpaper. The
147. 6:01name of this painting is the Wild Hunt
148. 6:04of Odin. Originally, it was created by
149. 6:06an artist named Peter Nikolai Arbo in
150. 6:091872. The scene is based on Viking and
151. 6:13Norse mythology, and it represents the
152. 6:15folklore of Thor leading a hunting party
153. 6:19across the dark skies. What better
154. 6:22material uh could you have to
155. 6:24incorporate some dark and moody vibes
156. 6:26into this bathroom? You have now seen an
157. 6:29example of a path to creating an art
158. 6:32infused industrial chic bathroom. If you
