Host Joan Kohn visits the
newly built master suite of Mike and Maureen
Gnecco, who took advantage of their rural setting
and wonderful views when designing their bed and
bath. Designer Michelle Shields of The Great Room
Company helped them create a dramatic bedroom
emphasizing the unusual roof angles and integrate
the bed and bath areas so they share space and
light while still providing privacy.
The dramatic bedroom has unusual
rooflines accentuated by high-contrast ceiling
and wall colors, and a warm color
scheme.
|
Patio doors between the bed and
bath make the whirlpool tub–and its wonderful
views–a visual part of the
bedroom.
|
The arched vanity area has cherry
cabinets that match the tub skirt for a custom
look.

- The gabled roofline created interesting
volumes in the master suite. To emphasize the
lines and angles, the ceiling was painted white
and the walls a rich gold. Furniture was
appropriately placed so that the sloping ceiling
did not interfere with headroom.
- Symmetry was important in connecting the bed
and bath. The bed sits under a large window, and
the whirlpool tub, visible through interior
French doors, sits under a four-foot casement
window. The patio doors allow the bed and bath
to share light. It also visually brings the
whirlpool into the bedroom.
- The walk-in closet was placed in the corner
under a sloping roofline for extra space.
- Both the bed and bath have built-in niches
for a TV.
- In the bath, two different stones were mixed
for a rich look: a dark marble counter and
shower enclosure are combined with limestone
flooring and accent tiles.
- The shower accommodates two shower heads and
has a glass door for an open, airy
feel.
