Vintage-inspired DIY Bath Remodel... Before and After!
by
Restoring our Victorian House
(IC: blogger)
Our Victorian house was built in 1890, and we wanted the design of our DIY bath remodel to be simple, bright, and modern, but still keep a vintage-aesthetic to complement the age of the house.
Here's the index of our individual steps and details:
We used vintage reproduction fixtures, subway tile, a console sink, a concealed trapway skirted toilet (which I LOVE!!!), and marble-lookalike floor tile.

My favorite element is the extra-large, DIY medicine-cabinet we built next to the sink. And also the transom window we added over the doorway to make the room feel larger, and bring light into the hallway.
Before- the sink and toilet were on opposite walls. We rearranged the floorplan and put them both on the same wall.
After- We added a transom window over the doorway to make the room feel larger, and bring light into the hallway. We used subway tiles on the walls, a console sink, a concealed trap way skirted toilet, and marble-lookalike floor tile.
We used reproduction vintage fixtures and subway tile.
Concealed trapway toilet... I will NEVER buy a "regular" toilet again!

Linda Santo on Feb 25, 2016I pretty much NEVER comment on a bathroom because the new ones to me all look alike. Yours is perfect! Great job!
