Creative director Brady Tolbert has a lot of ideas, but perhaps more importantly, he has plenty of patience. Ever since he and his partner Jason bought a light-filled midcentury property in the Los Angeles hills a couple of years ago, they’ve been slowly fixing it up one room at a time. Eventually, it became the guest bathroom’s turn.
It was clear someone had renovated the space recently, but the finishes seemed as though they were picked off a checklist, not a vision board. “They used builder-grade materials: oversized tile, a glass vessel sink, and sliding glass shower doors,” Tolbert says. “It lacked any real personality, and the layout wasn’t functioning as well as it could have been.” Because this space also acts as a powder room, all their visitors end up seeing it. Tolbert wanted the sight to be memorable.
