THIS OLD BATHROOM

DESIGNED BY ME...

Kira and Nate wanted to give their 100 year old bathroom a updated modern look but keeping with the vintage feel of the home.

Starting with the floor, I chose a cork flooring but in a penny round, new 'green' product with the cork but the old world charm of the penny rounds.  Found at http://www.habitusnyc.com/ 

Cork Mosaic Floor Tile

I had a custom vanity built from  http://www.alscabinetsinc.com/home to fit the gorgeous apron sinks - For the doors of the vanity I got 2 ornate  ceiling and applied them to the front doors.  A great detail with little money and less effort.   Think outside the box!  

 

Apron sinks are rarely seen in a bathroom but why not!  Great charm and looks fantastic! http://www.vintagetub.com/

The countertops are made of paper!  You heard me right - PAPER! Richlit's unique paper surfaces bring a soft and comfortable ambience to a room.  It's made from environmentally sustainable resources and is an attractive, durable, long-lasting material that complements a variety of design tastes.  Found at   http://www.alscabinetsinc.com/home

 

I wanted to give them more storage on the other side of the room from the vanity I had a storage unit built and again added the ornate ceiling tiles to the door fronts!  Great detail for little cost.

 

I also added a sitting area - new lamp and custom shade from www.tackyshade.com   A few other accessories and good to go!
