When the owners of this weekend house first saw this bathroom, they knew it wouldn't take much—labor or investment—to freshen it up once they purchased the house. "We knew paint could lighten the space and a pedestal sink would help restore its original charm," say the owners. "But our biggest concern was the mosaic-tile floor, which looked drab with the wood paneling." By choosing a wall paint that helped highlight the gray tiles in the floor, the owners brightened the room and turned a drawback into a blessing.
The Particulars
LOCATION
A second-floor guest bathroom in a weekend home in the Catskill Mountains, originally built in 1890.
POTENTIAL
A vintage cast-iron tub, casement window, and sloped ceiling contribute to this bath's inherent style. Paint, a salvaged pedestal sink, and new fixtures will dramatically enhance the space's country aesthetic and overall appeal.
PURPOSE
To create a bright, easy-to-maintain bathroom that is accommodating and welcoming for overnight guests.
Save with Salvage
The salvaged pedestal sink was a lucky find at an antiques shop in town — and a bargain at $75. It provided the ideal partner to the home's original tub. Pedestal sinks are in abundance, but quality varies. Expect to pay from $60 to as much as $2,000 for a pristine vintage example.
