Colonial Revival Bath Photos

By Ralph Oswald


<< Back to main story

Colonial Revival bath with Azek beadboard
Designer Dave Cerami of Home Tech Renovations chose Azek beadboard to trim the walls and tub surround for a water-resistant yet period-appropriate aesthetic.

Marble-edged tub surround
Because the marble pieces used for edging on the tub surround were so long and thin, Home Tech embedded them with steel rods to prevent cracking.

Glass shower with period tile
The glass shower helps keep light flowing through the room. "It wouldn't have been used in a period setting, but we integrated it with the choice of stone, tile, and fixtures," says Dave.

Vanity with restored marble sink top
After the marble tops were refinished, they were fitted with new basins, period-style legs, and reproduction fixtures.

Restored 1920s marble sink top
"I love the sinks," says homeowner Mary Seelaus. "I'm so happy we were able to reuse them."

Salvaged holophane ceiling light
The bathroom's distinctive overhead light is a vintage Holophane fixture augmented on the bottom with a dome-shaped diffuser to create what appears to be a cohesive sphere.
