Southeast Designer Showhouse — In-Law Suite in Glem White Porcelain

This Southeast Designer Showhouse In-Law Suite is more than a bath. Designed by UpCountry Home, the suite includes a full bathroom with arched glass shower, a brass-and-marble vanity, and a kitchenette bar with a hammered brass sink under chinoiserie wallpaper and antiqued mirror. The stone work runs the entire suite in Glem White Porcelain, sourced from Encore Stone Studio.

The win in this space was execution. Large-format porcelain slabs in the shower do not forgive mistakes — every seam matters. The kitchenette countertop carries the same Glem White across to keep the suite visually cohesive even though the rooms are functionally separate. Brass fixtures throughout warm the cool white stone.

Why This Design Works

✅ Glem White Porcelain reads as warm marble without the maintenance — a fit for guests who may not know stone care.

✅ Running the same material across the bath AND kitchenette anchors the suite visually as one space.

✅ Floor-to-ceiling slab in the arched shower lets the marble veining flow without grout interruption.

✅ Brass throughout — sink, fixtures, mirror frames — gives the suite warmth and a custom feel.

How to Recreate This Look

1️⃣ Match the stone across all functional zones in a suite — bath, kitchenette, vanity — for visual continuity.

2️⃣ Use large-format slab in the shower rather than tile if you want a single uninterrupted plane of stone.

3️⃣ Choose porcelain over natural marble for guest-use spaces where you can’t control what gets spilled.

4️⃣ Add brass details at every point of contact — sink, faucet, mirror, towel bar — to warm the white stone.
