Guest Bathroom for a Traditional House

Lava rock countertop and a more transitional mirrored medicine cabinet from Kohler that opens from the bottom up. Lighting from Lumins.

Marble tile from the floor was used as a decorative edge.

A charcoal and white cotton fabric was used for a deep valance and the shower curtain.


This client had been planning to do her bathrooms but kept putting it off until there were 2 leaks from the 2cd and 3rd floors at the same time and she had to do both at the same time. The master is not quite finished yet but the guest turned out beautifully. We were able to save the original tub which was a savings to the owner. The tile for the floor is a traditional gray marble small square and subway tile on the walls.

Downsizing

Downsizing

I sold my house last fall and moved to an apartment. Needless to say it was a huge downsize. Going from a three floor home to a two bedroom was a huge job. But it has felt really good to get cleaned out. Everyone told me I would be happy but it was hard to do all the work. I didn't have to buy any new furniture, just get rid of some and store the rest in the basement. I am lucky to have storage and not to have to get a storage unit. I had heard too many horror stories about storage units. I did get a new sofa to update my look but the rug here and coffee table were from the old house and still look great. The hardest part was all my art, my own and others that I own from my brother and other artists including Minneapolis' and Montclair's own Tom Nussbaum. I also have a small collection of oils from an old seaman from Brooklyn that came from my father. They are realistic but fit in well with all the others.
