The first floor guest bath
is the ‘essence’ of the English Arts and
Crafts style; simple, straightforward, elegant. It is
reflective of both the transitional and eclectic tastes
of today’s young families and easily accessible
from the guest study.
Polished limestone in mossy green hues line the shower
walls, creating an earthy foundation for layers of simple
detail. A double glass liner, juxtaposing flat and convex
surfaces, divides the field from the slate offset pinwheel
mosaic wainscot detail, which skirts the entire room.
A striking mahogany chest finds a new identity as a
sink vanity, topped with an angular patterned bronze
glass vessel and paired with fixtures in satin brass.
This duo beautifully accommodates every function needed
in this jewel box guest bath.
An original antique brass and glass Arts and Crafts
fixture illuminates the room, communicating the ambience
of its day. The unique form of the curved mahogany framed
mirror is highlighted by its central placement in the
space. Additional period details, including a custom
bronze glass overlay for the shower window, punctuate
the space, adding interest and engaging the attention
of the occupant – hopefully not for too long! |
