The new en suite bathroom complements the rest of the home while expressing its own personality. “The mom told me she was looking for something modern but not too modern,” Ofir says. “A space that felt eclectic but also fresh and warm. We have color but we were looking for the right combination for the girl, who loves blue and also pink.”

A prefabricated white oak vanity with a reeded front and gold knobs offers ample storage and a timeless look. “Also, the panel fronts fit with the home’s modern Italian look,” Ofir says.

“The vanity is painted a terra-cotta pink, which is a warm, earthy and muted shade that falls between clay orange and dusty rose,” Roi says. “It’s a sophisticated blush tone, not a bright pink, and it leans more toward a refined clay or salmon rose.”

A partition wall to the right creates privacy for the toilet. “In the beginning, we weren’t going to have a wall there, but we wanted to create that separation between the vanity and toilet,” Ofir says.

Walls, ceiling and trim are painted a custom mushroom hue in a satin finish selected for its durability and easy maintenance. “It’s easy to clean, that’s the most important thing,” Ofir says. “I wanted to create good flow and not create any separation between the ceiling and walls.”
