Open House: The Cottages at Creekstone in Alpharetta

MASTER BATH: A classic cast-iron tub with nickel-plated ball-in-claw-feet is reminiscent of simpler times. Plantation shutters control the light and keep the room's clean lines. The bath also has a separate shower with inlaid glass tiles. "Using an inlay is a great way to add color and elegance and still stay on a budget," said designer Donna Mathis. "It suits the style of the home without being overly dramatic." R. Todd Fleeman/Special
