How
do you provide the modern facilities of a master bath in
the small space alloted to bathrooms in older houses? The
owners wanted a convenient shower (hiding behind the picture
of a basket) rather than a tub. Plumbing
included aerators to minimize water flow in both showers
and sink. Of course the shower head was designed to conserve
water.
Two
old fashioned small sinks can fit along the wall in the narrow
space available. The cherry wood floor
is recycled wood.
The
privacy half-wall with old fashioned wainscotting works well
to separate the small tank toilet
from the rest of the room. This wainscotting, popular years
ago, is now "in" again.
A Second
Bathroom
Another
upgraded bathroom in the same house.
Fresh
Face for the Fireplace
Previous
project in this house: The tiles around the fireplace match
the delft china on the walls. The flooring
is recycled wood.
Sunny
Dining Room
Previous
project in this house: New windows make the dining room warm,
sunny, and inviting. The sash for these
windows is recycled, and storm panels provide extra insulation
for heat retention. This floor is also recycled wood.
