Contemporary Master Bath
Our designer Rusty Walton first brought up the idea of a wood accent wall to break up the expansiveness of the new 15' high walls that enclosed this portion of the bathroom. It ultimately wasn't in the budget, but the idea of using wood was well-received. Since it didn't cost extra to use it as a tub surround (as it replaced what would have been tile), we hired The Salvage Bee to plane cedar planks to tile width so it would butt up to the tile seamlessly. The goal was to use reclaimed wood, but it was too brittle to be planed down to tile thickness.
