Private Quarters

The bathrooms featured in The Atlanta Journal Constitution’s Private Quarters are the epitome of spa-like getaways. These light, bright and sophisticated bathrooms might just inspire you to give your own a refresh.

The wall color in Walt Geer and Sarah Blackman’s master bath is Benjamin Moore Silver Bells — a fact that Sarah finds funny considering that the couple owns Santa’s Fantastical, an interactive Christmas experience. They have a large bathtub, where Sarah likes to relax with a book, and tile floors from Specialty Tile. Text by Shannon Dominy. Photo by Reynolds Rogers.

The spacious master bathroom in Cathy Ehrler and Donald Thurman’s Atlanta home has a custom slanted sink and travertine tile with a mirrored vanity that makes the space look even larger. Text by Shannon Dominy. Photo by Reynolds Rogers.

The bathroom in the guest suite of Donald Thurman and Cathy Ehrler’s home has a large jetted tub and custom cabinetry. In the corner of the bath is a plexiglass tube filled with balls that the couple have collected through their years of living in their Atlanta home. These balls have been found on walks and around their home. Text by Shannon Dominy. Photo by Reynolds Rogers.

The spacious master bathroom in Jean-Francois and Martha Morizur’s Forsyth County home is open and warm. The large window over the tub gives the space great light in the morning, and the large area means that the couple can have their own space to get ready in the mornings. Text by Shannon Dominy.

The large window, by Atlanta Area Window & Door, brightens the master bathroom, highlighting the lovely embossed wallpaper, which was treated by artist Mary Notosh to resemble the pressed tin ceiling in the master bedroom. Text by Shannon Dominy. Photo by Reynolds Rogers.

Homeowner Ali and Bob Van Dillen decided to do a quick, budget-friendly update in the master bathroom of their Roswell home. They painted the beadboard beneath the chair rail navy, gave the vanity a coat of chalk paint and replaced the mirrors and lighting to update the look of the space. Text by Shannon Dominy.

Nancy and Gene Hooff’s master bathroom is light and spa-like, with a mirror hanging over the bath to provide the illusion of a window and open up the space while providing the privacy of a closed room. Text by Shannon Dominy. Photo by Reynolds Rogers.

A large open shower with a pebble-style floor and a skylight and a large double vanity are the main fixtures of Jeff and Paola Roder’s spa-like master bathroom. The space had already been recently updated by the previous owners when the Roders bought their home in 2019, so they’ve enjoyed the open, serene space. Text by Shannon Dominy.

The master bathroom of Mike and Joelle DeRoche’s home is full of natural light and has a fresh, airy vibe. The room has plenty of space, with a large vanity and a separate shower and tub. Text by Shannon Dominy. Photo by Reynolds Rogers.

The master bathroom of Michaela Graham’s home is open and light, with a large tiled shower that Michaela prefers using over the bath. The walls are a dark gray that matches the grout between the rosey tiles. Text by Shannon Dominy. Photo by Reynolds Rogers.

The beautiful tile work in Michael and Jenniffer Marblestone’s master bathroom was done by Stefan Tile in Dacula. The 1895 Eutopean clawfoot tub that sits by their shower belonged to Michael’s great-grandfather. Text by Shannon Dominy. Photo by Reynolds Rogers.

The fresh, neutral tones in the rest of the home flow into Dana and Angelo Spinola’s master bathroom, giving the space a clean look. A sliding hutch off to the side houses Dana’s shoes. Text by Shannon Dominy. Photo by Reynolds Rogers.
