Vintage bathroom

Monday, June 27, 2011

Never can resist cheesing in the mirror.

I have FINALLY finished the most exquisite little guest bath I think I have ever done. (I always think the last project is the best!) We chose white tile and spa blue-green walls for a classic, calm look.

My client, who is also a dear friend, wanted the bath to look like it had always been exactly like this, not a new remodel in her historic 1928 home. So we found lots of brand new hardware and fixtures that have a vintage feel. It is really a tight little space, ya'll. We could both stand in there, but just barely! I will show you the space from left to right in the following photos. We are so pleased with the results!

Granite ledge over 2 drawers under a little dormer window. Look at the pretty beadwork we found to go on the bottom edge of the balloon shade.

Amazing pressed glass and chrome drawer pulls.

Teeny, tiny little toilet.

Carrera and black marble floor tile in a basketweave pattern. Looks like it is original. But it's not!

Wonderful tile work! Look at that little niche above the sink. We were pretty delighted to discover this classic subway tile with an interesting twist.....beveled edges. It gives great definition to the tile.

Pretty faucets, especially that amazing tub spout.

Gorgeous custom shower curtain of light brown linen embroidered with spa blue swirls, with blue inset valance that is actually attached.

Seriously, there is no way to get out of the shot!

During......this is one of my favorite people ever!

"Hi, Deb-

Just wanted to say how valuable you are in the design process. When I think of how many hours I have wasted of my time running here and there- only to be unsure of my choices, I have come to realize what a value you are. Your attention to beautiful detail gives me the assurance that my project will always reflect timeless good taste the first time around. Many Thanks! "

"Debra Paessler Designs has done a wonderful job for me on many projects, some smaller and more large-scale. She has designed tile for a major bathroom renovation, transformed our back porch form plain to impressive, supervised a kitchen renovation, helped us to choose many upholstery and paint colors, and helped to frame and hang numerous pictures. She has a team of skilled and reliable people to help her work her magic. She is consistently a pleasure to work with, and I will hire her for any interior design job I need."

"This project, a complete renovation of our kitchen and den is the second one Debra has worked on with us. The first was a beautiful renovation of a bedroom, bath, and a new airy sunroom. Her first step is to ascertain what will go well with your home, your basic taste, and your budget. She is very creative, has an excellent sense of color and style and pland the project down to the last detail. She does the research necessary to present you with choices that you are comfortable with - from the small table to the cabinets and fixtures. Contractors respect her judgement and she makes certain that they turn up on time and do excellent work. In all she is very qualified in her field, takes into account the angst that the home owner feels during the renovation to their home, and is very pleasant to work with. We highly recommend her to make your home more beautiful.
