A subtle powder room tucks into the front hallway. The Rottmans converted what was once a small library into a first floor laundry room, with a long window for natural light and two closets to hang clothes in to dry. The master bedroom is also subtle, with gray carpet, white walls and a ceiling fan in the center of the room. The master bathroom has a tile bench in a glass-enclosed double shower, with two shower heads on facing walls. All closets have built-in shelves, hanging rods and extra shelving.
Ceiling fans spin on the ceilings of the bedrooms, and all the windows are new.
The shared bathroom upstairs, designed for the Rottmans' daughters, hosts a Corian counter and two small, white sinks. The shower tiles are blue and soothing, with an ornate border of bold and burgundy. The fourth bedroom, which the Rottmans have used as an office, is done in shades of gray with subtle lighting.
