A New Old Bathroom
May 17, 2010
You would think if your house was 90 years old, there would be some age appropriate decor going on. A cast iron tub or some classic light fixtures. Not pink and brown tile halfway up the wall. It's like seeing a grandma in a mini-skirt and fake eyelashes, wrong, all wrong!
Happily, Arlene had a plan to bring her bathroom back to its roots. She found salvaged pieces true to the time period of the home and thrifted just about everything else. I love how the new flooring looks like it could have been there all along. Thanks Arlene!

Very nice! Now excuse me while I poke that vision of Grandma in a mini skirt out of my mind's eye.
I want this bathroom !
Will she rent the tub by the hour?
I had started to read your post and had to walk away to pour a cup of coffee when my husband walks into the room and shrieks at the laptop "AAGGH?!?!" I came running back and it was the first picture on the screen, HA HA. I assured him it was a BEFORE picture :)
I love love love how she made it look original!
We are in the middle of a big remodel on our masterbath. I will try to send you some pics when it's done.
GORGEOUS!! Love it.
I thought pink & black tiles were bad, but pink & brown is a whole new level of ugliness!
I am with Loraine! I would love to soak in that tub for awhile! A long while!
