Bathroom at a Glance
Who uses it: The husband of a couple who previously worked in the oil and gas industry. He and his wife recently pursued a lifestyle change and bought a hobby farm on Vancouver Island.
Location: Comox Valley, Vancouver Island, Canada
Size: 132 square feet (12.3 square meters); 11 by 12 feet
Interior designer: Bethany Van Hecke
The previous master bathroom configuration, though roomy, was squarish, with all the fixtures, including an enclosed acrylic shower and a clunky built-in jetted tub, against one wall, leaving much wasted space in the middle. Storage was lacking too.
Designer Bethany Van Hecke says her client didn’t have any particular demands regarding the overall look of the new bathroom, but he did like her suggestion of a free-standing tub. Taking his lifestyle and the farmhouse itself into consideration, she thought a cast-iron clawfoot tub would be fitting. Plus, there was room to accommodate both a tub and a separate shower. The tub was one of the project’s splurges, along with its sculptural stand-up faucet.
Wall paint: Bleached Linen, Behr; wood side table: homeowner’s collection; artwork: by Vancouver Island artist Helen Utsal; Valley cast iron bathtub, Valley Acrylic (exterior painted by manufacturer); faucet: Virage single-handle free-standing tub filler in Venetian Bronze, Brizo
