Richard Landon Design HERS vs. HIS BECOMES HARMONY

Sketch by Kathleen Wright Where is the harmony between a husband who wants "Industrial Chic" and a wife who requests "Traditional Cozy?" Glass and metal vs. wood and stone? Hard vs. Soft? And only 55 square feet is available?
 
This sketch shows where the design headed:
  •  "Soft" elements to the left, including a traditional "washstand" with a marble top, a Manhandle holding the hand towel, and two towels hanging without folds, artisan-made cabinet knobs in the shape of hearts; and whimsical mural in the style of Jamie Johnson;
  • "Hard" elements to the right with stainless steel piping coming up from the floor; a faucet mounted on top of this same pipe element and on the edge of a pane of glass; twin-rail light track; custom-made, tab-shaped cabinet pulls; and a metal-framed mirror.
Her Side with Temple Mirror
Her side features mural painted in the style of Jamie Johnson.
His Side
His side features arc-shaped elements & the "throne."
Both sides feature "Fior di Pesco Carnico" marble.
