"Copper Beech Design provided design work for a $60,000 renovation of my master suite, including the bedroom and the bathroom," says Cheryl Alpert of Weston, Mass. "The original 1950s space was quirky, tucked into a multilevel space that had tight angles. I confess, I had grown tired of all the materials I saw in contemporary bathroom designs and sought something more texturally complex and uncommon. The architect worked with me to craft a design that was both dramatic and functional. They helped me select some very different, beautiful materials like blue quartz and Idaho quartzite. My most favorite part of the design are the light, varied textures, the flow and, most definitely, the visual surprise as you're drawn in."
