The Modern Vintage Bathroom

23 comments:



We are starting some remodeling on the interior of our little house in the country.  
The bathrooms will be the first to go....and boy do they need to go.
  I have been looking over all of my clippings and design books for the right elements that will work in the small spaces but still feel open and uncluttered.
This is humble house, so I don't think we want to go too overboard with the design. 
 It should feel vintage but at the same time be modern and clean and 
definately not fussy.
These photos of wonderful bathrooms seem to have that certain something.



But in the end,
 I decided that the more minimal the design,
 more importance will be placed on the fixtures
and the more timeless the end result will be.
 These last two photos are the bathrooms of architect Elizabeth Roberts.
She currently lives in Brooklyn, with her family in a restored 1860s brownstone
But do these bathrooms feel right in a home of that age?

I really think they do!

Here are the elements we have purchased for our master bath remodel

Console sinks from Porcher Lutezia Series
 we will use two side by side

The faucet sets from Kohler, the Purist Series

 The freestanding tub is Randolf Morris
 and can be found at Vintage Tub and Bath



The tub filler is also from the Kohler Purist Series 
The shower system is from Hansgrohe  called Raindance
It has an exposed thermostatic valve and handshower
Toto 



And sconces from Schoolhouse Electric Co
This is called Rensselaer
And finally....
The floors will be a honed Carrera or Thassos 
in a stacked mosaic or basket weave



something similar to this...
I'm still looking!
(tile from Waterworks)

I will take some "before" photos this weekend

  1. Wonderful!! I vote basket weave!
    I love the sinks - they remain spacious in the small space with room to put a large basket of something underneath.

  9. Love all your choices. Right up my alley. Can't wait to see the before and after shots. I just got the "go ahead" from my husband to remodel our downstairs guest bathroom at home. It is soooo ugly. Why have I lived with it for so long? I'll be following your remodel for inspiration!

  12. I love the console sinks but I'm totally IN LOVE with that sink using the old end table with the spindly legs. Love the marble but not too fancy for the country? And those Rensselaer lights. Gotta go buy me some right now. Totally HOT!
