A Master Bathroom Fit for a Yogi

When the yoga master wanted to renovate his home, he called on his good friend the design master (a.k.a. Susan Fredman).

The dean of a yoga school, he had just purchased a home in the Berkshires and wanted to create a nurturing haven full of spirituality that would allow him to practice his craft in any room.

His master bathroom was no exception.

Here’s a before photo of the space:

The original footprint was very small, so the home was expanded to allow room for a double vanity and a large shower. The final product is a luxurious spa-like retreat, featuring many natural and reclaimed materials taken from the property that truly connects the space to nature.

The steam and rain showers, recently featured in an article about luxurious showers on HGTV.com, are complete with a boulder found on the property and allow the yogi to keep his muscles loose and flexible.

The white sinks create a striking contrast to the live-edge countertops made from reclaimed wood from the property.

There’s even space for his personal collections, many of which are found throughout the home.

Wouldn’t you love coming home to a retreat like this …

What a beautiful bathroom transformation. I would absolutely love to be able to do yoga in my bathroom, and this one is so connected to nature, it's stunning!

I am the LUCKY owner and dear friend of Susan. Her talent and eye are impeccable. Her insight into how to hit it "just right" not too much, not too little always guides. She is also all about comfort. Sometimes things can be beautiful but uncomfortable when you really try to live in it. Never with Susan's designs. Comfort always rules and so does beauty and nature and whimsy. No tho mention it's great to be in her presence. I LOVE MY HOUSE! And what you see here was just the bathroom!

That is totally awesome! Does the yogi need a new friend from Chicago? I can be very zen-like- in a fun sort of way.

The only problem with this bathroom would be having to leave it!

I see you used wood for the floor. I am in the process of remodeling my bathroom and wanted to use hardwood for the flooring. Everyone advises against it. I'm still going to do it. What wood did you use for this bathroom? It is beautiful. Also is that a real boulder? Thanks.
