BEFORE It was the typical small bath: a charmless jumble in a constricted 5- by 7-foot space. The conventional wall-mounted sink, the projecting medicine-cabinet mirror, and the storage cabinet swallowed up the narrow space opposite the tub.
AFTER The architect took a tailorlike approach, making small adjustments — like nips and tucks in a piece of fabric — to create a visually coordinated, functional, and comfortable room. The clean,
uncluttered look reflects several key decisions. A new rounded sink occupies less space. The room's lines are simplified by treating the entire wall above the sink as a mirror and by a medicine cabinet built into what had been a jog in the wall to the right of the sink. Using tile as wainscoting unifies the space.DESIGN Mark Creedon, M2 Studio, Sonoma, CA (707/938-8345)
