A Vintage Inspired Bathroom
Saturday, May 17th, 2008Trying to find the mix of bathroom fixtures that both matches the style of the house and is modern enough to be convenient has proved to be more challenging than I had thought.
I bought a bridge style faucet with cross handles that say hot and cold on them for the sink. The faucet in the tub also has the cross handles but says hot and cold in French. My husband insists that it says, “You paid too darn much!” on the handles. But I love it.
The tile for the bath area is a combination of white tiles. 6×6 field tiles, 3×6 subway tile, a decorative raised 3×6 tile (listel), and a chair rail. Until I ordered the tile I had planned on going with all subway tile, but this particular mix of tiles won me over.
Now we are trying to decide whether we want the bottom 6×6 tiles in a running bond pattern or if we should just match up the grout lines. Decisions, decisions.
