Bathroom of the Week: A Master Suite in Topanga Canyon, Scribbles Included

March 31, 2017

Yesterday we took a look at Serena Mitnik-Miller’s low-key kitchen in Topanga Canyon; today we’re admiring her bedroom and bath situation. Here’s a look.

In the finished master bath, a plywood console (custom-built by a friend and Mitnik-Miller’s dad) has cutout cabinet pulls, stacked shelving, and baskets for stashing extra linens. (For more, see Remodeling 101: Cutout Cabinet Pulls.) Mitnik-Miller found the pink marble at a re-use yard, and the sconces are by brass artisan Ramsey Conder.

An oval shower curtain rod means the canvas curtains can wrap all the way around, and a wooden tray keeps essentials at the ready. (Love the wall of tiles? Mitnik-Miller’s are Moroccan, but we also love these Portuguese Tiles from Centuries Past.)
