Drawn to the elegant simplicity inherent to most Colonial Revival homes, the new owners were eager to modify the small third floor bathroom to accommodate the daily needs of a young child and the occasional guest. Due to its size, it was imperative to design a space that efficiently utilized every inch of the small bathroom without sacrificing period style. The overall installation of a shed dormer and squaring off the awkward room helped in gaining the necessary square footage to create a floor plan that increased mobility, both vertically and horizontally. In its infancy, the design hope was to include the cast iron claw foot tub that was currently housed in the bathroom. We soon realized that the tub was not in any shape for continued use. With a clean slate, we were then able to create a nicely sized custom Carrera Marble tiled shower stall, closing off the shower with a frameless sliding shower door. The added space also allowed for the installation of a 30 inch, period specific sink and base and custom heavy gauge baked on enamel radiator cover for extra table top space.
