Designer Christie Mankera imagined a fairy tale while pulling together to the Nevada bathroom shared by two young girls. “We wanted to make this bathroom a sweet dream place for these little girls,” she says. Butterfly wallpapers, a yellow pink vanity, scallop motifs and bow -shaped drawer bridges are some major pieces that pull the delightful room together.

First: The current bathroom was functional, but a simple look was inspired.
One of the first ideas, Mancera presented the girls’ mother with a light pink double vanity, with a scalloped edge with the bottom. This custom touch was a motif that he performed through other elements in the room.
Mankera and the rest of the design-bed team used Hauz Pro Software throughout the process, until the construction was completed from the beginning of the design phase. “This helped us to keep all communications organized and efficient among customers and all the team members,” says Mankera.

The taps and handles consist of simple silhouettes, which prevents them from distracting from the scalloped motif. Finnish brush is Brass.
The mirror is a simple sheet mirror. However, Mankera raised the look by creating a frame with Brass Shlooter Strips, usually used to sideline the tile.
The existing tubs and windows were in fine shape, so Mankera worked them in her design. In other ways he helped stay on the budget, using porcelain countertops instead of natural stone, using luxury vinyl tile floors instead of hard wood and used a sheet mirror instead of two separate vanity mirrors. The latter steps also meant that the wall above pride did not need to be wallpaper.
