The only original elements remaining in this 1895 Colonial Revival home's bathroom were its window, door, casework, and ceiling rosette-all elements that designer Jerri Holan and homeowner Loo-San Juan wanted to preserve. Holan first removed the 1960 fixtures and reconfigured the layout to take advantage of the room's window while a master shower replaced the showerless tub. Period appropriate tile in white and blue glass mosaic were added. Loo-San also scoured antiques shops for period pendants and wall sconces to replace the out-of-place '60s overhead light. A historically inspired pedestal sink and toilet were installed to re-create a sense of the original turn-of-the-century bath.
