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!
