" In this space, it's all about attention to detail, "
said Lopez.
The client wanted a side-by-side washer and
dryer and a television to watch while ironing. To
maximize space, the ironing board was hidden in
a top drawer, and the television was placed high
on the wall above the washer and dryer.
Lopez chose the whitest quartz for the countertops and used it for the windowsills and a piece
that hides the outlets above the washer and dryer.
To obtain an 18-in. farmhouse sink, she had one
custom made from the same quartz and was able
to add a drainboard on the side.
" It looks fresh and clean like a laundry room
should, " said the designer.

MASTER BATH MOOD

When Lopez joined the project,the tile for the primary bathroom had already been
chosen,and it was her job to bring multiple patterns together.She did that through
cabinetry and color choices that maintained the elegant theme of the home.
Choosing beechwood for the vanity and makeup table, Lopez custom designed the towers that flank the vanity.She lined the doors with the antiqued glass
seen in other rooms, then added a die-cut ogee pattern inspired by the floor tile.
" We were trying to give the client as much elegance as she wanted, as well
as find solutions for storage, " she said.
The pattern continues in a larger scale on the closet doors adjacent to the bathroom, while the hammered metal tub coordinates with the mirrored cabinets.

CURVES AND WAVES

Lopez created several custom door patterns throughout the home, and one
can be seen on the barndoor that opens onto the ensuite bathroom of one
of the guest rooms. With a wave-like pattern, the doors reiterate the home's
coastal theme. Here too, the tile had been selected, and Lopez was tasked
with pulling together the crisp look.
The white inset cabinetry has a traditional feel, but the gray quartz countertops with white veining offer movement and feature slight curving along
the edge above the drawers. Similarly, the toe kick valance has a gentle curve.
" Those details were necessary to balance with the floral marble pattern on
the walls, " said the designer.
Chrome faucets and polished hardware complete the elegant theme here - a
look that is in keeping with all areas of this sophisticated coastal home. 
