The owners of this custom home told Deborah Short, owner of Vineyard Homes, they wanted something simple—meaning conservative with little embellishment—that they could decorate themselves. Her solution included beautiful yet neutral finishes and custom cabinetry for they way they live. “They wanted lots of drawers,” she says, so she designed a piece with two shallow and four deeper drawers in the center of the medium-stained alder vanity. The tub niche, which is more like a room of its own, according to Short, includes an area to hang robes, small side tables and windows with rain glass for beautiful light without sacrificing privacy. To add additional warmth, Short specified large-format marble tile with golden-brown veining and, hinting at the Southwestern location, a solid oak beam stained to match the cabinetry.
