Vintage Charmer

Each individual aspect of the room was carefully considered and selected to ensure individual features exemplified the historic integrity of the original home. Vintage push button switches, salvaged and replicated millwork throughout (that expresses detailed craftsmanship) as well as all plumbing fixtures and tile were details carefully decided upon. This small space overflows with historical charm while still creating a usable space with easily maintainable materials. Contrasting hexagonal black and white tile at the floor was considered with a thoughtful pattern. The 3 x 6 subway ceramic tile at the shower walls, wainscoting and decorative black liners allowed for a timeless rhythmic feel that can easily be recognized from the early century era. Equally, echoing small details like a black toilet seat, black painted window sashes, glass cabinet and door knobs all transformed this bathroom into a near replica of the original space.
