Master Bathroom

Link your bedroom and bath with flooring. 
Continuing wood floors into the master bath connects the rooms and warms up the space. Keep tile contained in the shower area.

Find a close match. 
New wood flooring by Shaw Floors provides the convincing look of heart pine where the old floors weren't salvageable.

Layer color and pattern underfoot. 
A large woven rug carries the bedroom's neutral palette into the bath and adds both softness and practicality.

Soak in classic farmhouse style. 
A deep, cast-iron, claw-foot tub is only natural in a house like this. "Even though it's new, it looks like it's always been here," says designer Paige Schnell.
